I suddenly feel far less sympathetic

More people need to learn about Lysenkoism and the effectively permanent downfall of Russian genetics research (and also their food supply) due to ideological capture of science Because history might not repeat but it rhymes.

Gee. I wonder why.

in what world are we compelled to sell/buy their products???

Not a student of military history.

how di how did Chris Rufo become an expert on the sociology of post-secondary institutions? What research has he conducted? Which peer-reviewed journals has he published in? What are his credentials?

this is disgusting

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Until now, scientists have identified only a few dozen variants that went through natural selection in humans in the past 10,000 years. A new study claims to find hundreds--maybe thousands. Here's my story on the provocative research, and the mixed reception it's getting. Gift link: nyti.ms/4tSJH9G

It's remarkable how most of the world's English-speaking democracies seemed to have gotten together and decided "let's destroy the main thing that led us to unprecedented prosperity: our systems of higher education."

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

it would be important for Canadian media to ask the former PM about how he is feeling after Orban's defeat.

Sometimes I think about this tweet.

Just wait - Orban may have conceded but Putin and the Russians aren't done with Hungary yet.

how is it that almost 4 out of 10 Americans approve of this monstrosity.

Instead of cuts, if Carney was smart he'd invest $500 million in mRNA research in Canada, propelling us into a leading position in medical research.

A three-decade long study of chimpanzees has revealed a primate version of a bloody civil war. It's now at risk of getting eliminated due to cuts at the National Science Foundation. My story here (gift link): nyti.ms/4mhr5NQ

Holy jeans 'n' joggers! This story is incredible www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

I keep a trail cam set up outside my office, and the other night I picked up a long-tailed weasel. I've never seen one of these in my life, but apparently we have them right here on campus (Butler University, Indianapolis, IN, USA)

I hope all the ass-kissing this guy does is worth it.

I know Carney is conservative. But accepting this floor crossing shows an absolutely astonishing deficit in values and judgement

this is a very good question. There should be a lot of questions for Carney from his caucus on this move.

Marilyn Gladu? I guess the federal Liberals will accept any crackpot if it means another seat. Good grief.

Mark Carney will regret this, I predict

Also curious whether Marilyn Gladu still wants to reopen the abortion debate or allow private members bills on restricting women's medical decisions? globalnews.ca/news/6456505...

I guess Carney has zero standards. A list of Gladu's greatest hits: 1) opposing cannabis legalization, she read a poem in the House urging MPs to "keep our great country safe from all the weed." 2) in 2020, she suggested using the military to end pipeline protests... bsky.app/profile/thes...

Gladu has a history of making decidedly un-Liberal statements She's suggested she Canada should "return" to its Christian "foundation" and also shared anti-Muslim videos, commenting: "People came to a country with certain values and now want to kill everyone else" pressprogress.ca/this_conserv...

okay I don't cover federal politics but the only way this makes sense to me is Gladu extracting what she can from a floor-crossing before by-election results drop the marginal value of new Liberal MPs (at a certain point we get to ask whether there's anyone Carney will say no to, right?)

Imagine going back in time to the fall of 2024 and telling someone that Marilyn Gladu would cross the floor to join a Liberal government.

I don't care if that gives you a majority: I would not want Marilyn Gladu in any party I was in, thanks

my esteem for Carney just dropped - big time.
