I've decided I'm going to debate school kids and use bad faith arguments and insipid gotchas so I can have free fireworks at my funeral.

Science 101. Correlation does not equal causation. Tylenol aka paracetamol doesn’t cause autism. A correlation can lead to all sorts of causal fallacy. Like so. 👇

Always reinvigorating when a politician acts with integrity. Thanks @ernieklassen-mp.bsky.social.

The actual studies summarized - no link nothing nada null zilche www.nature.com/articles/d41...

AUTISM and TYLENOL A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared. “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…” Full article:

"It is, then, a time when we must have a realistic sense of values. We must decide what is worth while. We must be able to separate the trivia of today from the enduring realities of the long tomorrow." — Rachel Carson

Poilievre lies about sensible gun laws to get you angry over something that isn't real. No one is taking basic hunting rifles away from game hunters. If you need an assault weapon you're a shitty hunter. This is rage bait. All that MAGA CPC has to offer. #cdnpoli

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals. Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team. So proud.

AI has value, just not the level of hype that overwhelms us today. Randomly 16 to 40% false outcomes for the best of the best because of computational limits. Humans aren't smart enough to understand complexity of our world, we have computational limits and so too our machines.

"National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, found that the evidence linking rising emissions to negative human health outcomes is beyond scientific dispute.” - now lets see how this gets spun by the Trumpians... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/c...

"By design, social media spreads lies 6x faster..." - yes those tech bros did that. “It’s both deja vu and PTSD.” - All of the USA today played out already with Duterte in the Philippines. There are some great people who have the answers USA...

What a strange world the internet has created.

White House 'journalists' being told what they can say, well those people are there as part of the masquerade of journalism - a distinction; tax funded researchers being told what to say versus the science, well that is pure fascism.

The internet was and is very cool, but also extremely deadly - Charlie Kirk and Tyler Robinson Came from the Same Warped Online Worlds

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Hello USA!

MAGA ambassador Pete Hoosktra is telling Canada that he doesn't like the term "elbows up." He says it's anti-American. Sorry Pete, your president might be able to fire Jimmy Kimmel but you don't get to tell Canadians how to talk. Elbows up Mother-stucker.

"Fly safely. You know why I say that? Because I'm on the flight ... otherwise I wouldn't care." USA this is your President speaking...

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, foolish land-use sprawl, too many (& bigger) cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.

Unbelievable that anyone with any semblance of intelligence and integrity and representing Canada would stand for that evil grifter…my how low we have sunk.

September 11 - President GW Bush faltered many times, but by these words should be read and reread by every USAer. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

The Do’s and Don’t’s sound just like today’s antivaxers - clearly our education system failed much of the population in NA…

And so it begins, the rewriting of science to placate a USA king.

Reading about Galileo forced to recant his discovery that earth revolves around the sun during the Inquisition and wondering how long until the USA president demands the same today. Not sure how much more of this 💩 we can take…https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/galileo-was-forced-to-recant

Read this a couple of times, let it sink in…

Watch this. It’s fun. #OzzyOsbourne And support music programs in schools!

Everything in the USA is scary now, so how can anyone keep ignoring the truth? Especially the Law and Order folks and anyone claiming to be Christian? "Is Donald Trump America’s Public Enemy #1?" open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Poignant- AI remains artificial and a toy of boys. Sure it has value but not everywhere - to my engineering students I would lecture, just because you can build it doesn’t mean you should.

A sincere, intelligent woman who wants to represent her constituents. How refreshingly Canadian! 🍁 I hope she wins.

Every city needs this ⤵️

Is there a law that can ban every “social media influencer”? They are overwhelmingly grifters, maybe the public could vote people on or off the island based on at least a resume 🤥

Trump Lost & nothing to do with Musk. Catching up on some real journalism. In normal times this would be truly scary, but the Trump cult finds new evil behaviours every day. Still an excellent read. Vote Suppression Won. hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost...

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov

Well how does this impact his own birth-rite issues given Superman has a joint Canadian birth...

Breaking news: Despite looming tariff deadline, Heard Island remains defiant. "We're ramping up our guano production", said spokespenguin, Gwen Pengilly, "America wants it. They don't hold any cards here."
