Meet Pete. Pete is my most excellent friend and I am always excited to see him. I enjoy biting his ears, tugging on his arms and legs, licking his belly, and of course, using him as a pillow. Love you, Pete. ❤️ #dogsofbluesky

Sometimes, when I’m not sleeping, I’m eating carrots. #dogsofbluesky

Pre-bedtime nap. #dogsofbluesky

Throwback Sunday: Find the Oliver. #dogsofbluesky

A Saturday afternoon snooze with my good pal Pablo.

It’s Friday. I figure that’s a good enough reason to nap.

Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.

When the afternoon walk at the cottage tires you out…

So most of what Charlie Kirk (and JD Vance, Trump, and many in their “inner circle”) would not be allowed to speak at Clemson? Am I understanding this? Would they ever actually stand behind this statement in any of these cases?

This past Sunday, Brad and I celebrated 17 years of marriage together. That’s 6,209 days of love, laughter, and levity through it all. Happy Anniversary, Bradder! Here’s to many more.

They had kids, too.

Looking to start or move your biomedical research career to Toronto? LTRI is hiring.

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

Sunday Throwback: Sleeping on toys since 2017.

You were invited over to a friend’s for dinner, and you’ve been caught sleeping in their bed. Were you given permission? No. Does it matter? Also no.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

You say armrest, I say headrest. Tomato, tomahto.

Gift article — Yes @mark-carney.bsky.social we need you to invest in medical research so we can keep each of these (formerly joint US-Can) #cancer trials going. It’s measly money, tiny amount. #cdnpoli #onpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/7b0c022...

Anti-trans rhetoric doesn’t protect women. It causes harm. It masquerades as feminism while stripping away solidarity and compassion. Real feminism is about justice and equality for all women, including trans women. #NIONWomen #NotInOurName #HumanRights #WomensRights #TransRights #JoinUs

Donald Trump has lied again. They are cutting Medicare and it will affect millions of Americans who receive Medicare, who provide medical services, and who work in the health care economy.

Andrew Scheer should resign or be forced to do so and he and Mrs. Poilievre should both publicly apologize for being malicious. No public servant should be so careless as to put a citizen’s life in danger because she doesn’t agree with his political views. Shame on you, Mr. Scheer. #cdnpol

Wake up call! If I’m not sleeping, you shouldn’t be either.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

Kirk was asked a question about transgender mass shooters when he was killed. He didn’t answer it, so I will. From 2013 to today, of the more than 5,700 mass shootings in America (4+ shot and killed), exactly FIVE shooters were trans (source: Gun Violence Archive) That’s less that 1/10th of 1%.

Got a new toy last week. Makes a great pillow. 10/10

This is actually my third nap of the day. I expect there to be several more before the day is done.

Alternate headline: Johnson Lied.

Of David's countless accomplishments is the important work that Matt Porteus did in his lab on early-stage genome editing with engineered nucleases (pubmed 12730593). He and Matt both speak about this in the documentary "Human Nature." A true titan. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/s...

Bonus Sunday Flashback: Sound asleep in my first crate, which was too small after 2 months. Good thing my owners learned their lesson and only bought 2 more as I grew.

Post breakfast, pre-walk snooze with my good buddy Panda. If there’s a better way to start a Sunday, I don’t know what it is.

This is your reminder that Congress has the authority to remove all of these jackasses from power, they simply lack the conviction

Morning checklist: breakfast ✅ walk ✅ nap ✅

Sticks and stones (well, actually no stones that I can see, but a few bones) make sculptures along the lakeshore-Humber bay path.

When you’ve stayed up too late and it’s only 10:48 pm.

Still debating in 2025 whether flight attendants deserve pay for the time they work? Reminder: every top-ranked country for workers’ rights in the 2025 ITUC Global Rights Index uses proportional representation. Where elections are fair, workers’ rights are stronger.

Opining about the male loneliness crisis while women are losing access to reproductive rights, the maternal mortality rate is rising, and women are being forced out of the workforce is a real choice. It is a choice to ignore the deaths of women to promote the perceived victimhood of men.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

This is terrible news. The rest of the world needs to step up to save our scientific resources.
