I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Would love if you got @mackinprof.bsky.social on the podcast to discuss some of the protein claims by @erictopol.bsky.social

One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....

We can give ourselves so much more than the U.S. can ever take away. #CanadaStrong

It’s time to look out for ourselves and our workers, and stand up for Canada.

President Trump’s tariffs will hurt, but they will not break us.  We will get through this crisis together, because in Kitchener-Waterloo — and right across the country — we are #CanadaStrong.

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

It was never about fentanyl...

Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain said Sunday that he would work with the leaders of Ukraine and France on a cease-fire plan to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, as Europe reels from President Trump’s confrontation with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Really interesting work here

Hate to break it to y’all: Trump increasing taxes on our biggest fruit & vegetable suppliers isn’t going to reduce cost of healthy foods or “make foods healthier” But I guess influencers can scream that “big food” is evil while selling unregulated supplements…

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

Dear Canada and Mexico, We’re so, so sorry. — Sane America

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Interesting comment from a Canadian autoworker in the NYT

Happy to finally share Edouard Marques' work published in @expphysiol.bsky.social ! Great (and often challenging! ) cerebrovascular physiology studied outside the lab ! @universitelaval.bsky.social physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

TV once shaped elections, but we are now in a new Digital Media age—and, as Tristan Snell explains, that's a major reason Trump won in 2024. In a guest piece for The Big Picture, Snell unpacks how the digital media revolution reshaped politics and why Democrats must evolve to succeed moving forward.

Our multi-layered analyses established that single-cell-associated ncRNA are identifiable from bulk muscle transcriptomic data and that hypertrophy-linked ncRNA genes mediate their association with muscle growth via multiple cell types and a set of interacting pathways. #MyoBlue
