What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

Gov. Tim Walz: "They left us with deep damage. Generational trauma. Economic ruin in some cases. The left us with many unanswered questions. Where are our children? Where and what is the process of the investigation into those that were responsible for the deaths of Renee and Alex?"

CANADA 🇨🇦 FOR THE WIN The Canadian women’s hockey team defeats Finland 5-0 in their final round robin game. Canada now takes on Germany in the quarterfinals.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Picture of one of my students who is demanding to know which AI detection software I use after I filed an academic integrity violation for their AI-generated personal reflection.

I literally lectured about dual relationships yesterday and then watched Shrinking where everyone is providing therapy to their friends. Sheesh. 🙄

A new weed shop has moved in beside Subway on the main street in town and the sign makes me laugh every time we drive past. It's the exact same shade of green and looks like Subway sells weed. 🤣

"This morning parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers in Tumbler Ridge will wake up without someone they love—the nation mourns with them, Canada stands by them," says PM Mark Carney as he reacts to the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. #cdnpoli

Enten: "If Canadians really don't like Donald Trump, how do Americans feel about Canada? Well, they actually like Canada! ... even among Republicans, it's +30 ... Canada -- more popular than Donald Trump in Trump's own country"

Gold is our unintended theme in homeschool today — from watching Olympics to learning about the Klondike Gold Rush to examining historic gold prices to looking at Canada's resources to discussing how political instability affects gold prices. Making connections is the best way to learn.

This isn't true. It's about 20% and we are working hard to whittle it down even further. Overestimating our dependence on the US and underestimating our stubborn disdain only hurts US businesses. We didn't ask for the relationship to turn antagonistic.... but we can play. 🍁

A student of mine is taking my course for the second time, having failed due to academic integrity issues. This time, they are showing up and doing the work and achieving success. The only one happier than they are about that is me. Teachers actually really want their students to succeed. ⭐

My best friend (Black) told me that she saw a Facebook post where the pastor from her childhood church shut down a commenter for saying something subtly racist and she said it was the first time in her life she heard a white leader in her circle speak up and I can't stop thinking about that.

Not me dancing to Bad Bunny while cooking eggs this morning. 💃

Update: she tells me her vision was more about her being able to wander about our house like Phil Dumphy on the iPad. I can imagine this thing is now going to be controlled remotely from Victoria so she can feel like she's home with us 🤣

THREE TIMES THIS WEEK I have made a really stupid mistake in recognizing but not recognizing famous singers. Is that an Italian version of Mariah Carey? Is that a Puerto Rican version of Lady Gaga? Is that an old version of Ricky Martin? What is wrong with me?!? 🤣🫣😜

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Benito said "God Bless America," and then proceeded to name every country in South and North America. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

30 years later, my degree in Latin American Studies served me well for the Super Bowl half-time show 😆🥰🇵🇷

Someone is going to write a dissertation about this half time show and I will read it.

For 150 years, Africville, sitting right next to Halifax, was a thriving Black Canadian community. Halifax refused to provide city services, and eventually forced residents to move as they bulldozed their homes. This is the story of that community. 🧵1/12

Eldest child sent us a robot for communicating with doggo when we aren't home. Kiddo is controlling it from the other room and Yoshi is not quite sure what to make of it. It's like an indoor squirrel. 🤣

Saving these tips for kiddo. Our goal is 16 by 16 — a good assortment of dishes he can prepare on his own before he is anywhere near ready to leave home. We have a few introduced so far, with more practice required.

Having way too many theoretical discussions about this one with kiddo and his dad tonight. 😆

You absolutely need to drop everything right now to take The Narwhal's first ever quiz — and find out which Canadian bird is your feathered soulmate ❤️

Canada is having ‘a moment’. Everyone loves someone who stands up to a bully. #Canada #2026Olympics

I like to bake bread on the weekends, but I don't like hauling my big flour pail out of the pantry. So when I do, I measure out the flour for a couple more weeks. Next weekend me will be grateful to this weekend me when she sees I've done it for her. 😆

I love elephants and I love Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. I have many happy memories of visiting the young elephants over the years — at Sheldrick's orphanage in Nairobi. This post about the elephants is particularly beautiful. 🐘❤️🐘

Illness kept my friend and me from watching the Opening Ceremony for #Olympics2026 together in person — but it didn't stop us from sharing how we really feel about Lululemon's latest attempt at Team Canada's kit.

Bruce Fanjoy is the gift that keeps on giving. Sign the petition to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top security clearance.

'Journalism'

This is how we watch the #OpeningCeremony for #Olympics2026 — with a globe to find each country as it comes up, and a running commentary on the fashion choices for each team. #PandemicHomeschool

Olympics commercials get me every time — especially the parent/kid ones. They are really good at appealing to all my emotions 😭

Impatient ADHD kiddo: YOU ARE THE WORLD'S BEST ATHLETES. WHY CAN'T YOU WALK FASTER?!?! (It's a good thing we aren't from Zimbabwe because he is losing interest. Canada walked in early 😆) #OpeningCeremonies #Olympics2026

Let's goooooooooo!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #Olympics2026

Another Olympics in an ongoing pandemic, another few weeks of feigned surprise about viral illness outbreaks among athletes.

Important paper. Schools are high-risk environments for respiratory disease transmission MAINLY because classrooms are underventilated. This problem has a workable solution - it just needs political will. Air quality is as important as water quality for public health. MT @martinmckee.bsky.social

Dear Microsoft, I know your founder is likely busy trying to convince everyone that he doesn't rape children.... but could you please do something about your ridiculously confusing CAPTCHAs? We were unable to do it several times today — giving a hacker more time to wreak havoc in the account.

Breaking The world’s first vaccine targeting the entire SARS coronavirus family has commenced human testing. GBP511, developed by UW Medicine and tested by SK Bioscience, seeks to provide protection against COVID-19 and future coronaviruses, potentially preventing the onset of the next pandemic.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

PSA: Someone I know was just a victim of a scam. The phone rang and it was Rogers following up on the changes he'd made to his package the day before. He was expecting to hear from Rogers. He did all the right things — made them confirm the address, account #, previous payments on the account.

We're working on geometry in the dining room while listening to Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variations on the record player. It all feels very sophisticated 😜 #PandemicHomeschool

Canadian COVID Forecast Jan 31 - Feb 13, 2026 ONTARIO VERY HIGH [increasing] About 1 of every 106 people is infected. Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada: -Infections: 11.0 x higher -Long COVID: 6.1 x higher -Hospitalizations: 15.5 x higher -Deaths: 17.0 x higher

Interesting & heartening to see the shift in social media over the past week. Many influencers are realizing that silence is not neutral & are finally speaking out against ICE in their spaces. Our fav medical podcast, Sawbones, just did an episode on how to treat yourself if ICE uses teargas. 🥹

Follow-up question: How about all the children you raped? Did they smile?

For years, many of us heard that “a glass of wine a day” was good for your health. We now know that isn’t true. How do we know that? 👇 scienceupfirst.com/nutrition/no... This post was made in collaboration between @camhnews.bsky.social and @scienceupfirst.bsky.social

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

Please let them win. He’ll meltdown.

Kiddo had such a great online Canada & the World lesson today about power — soft and hard, personal and national. Great to hear young people articulate what they see as their own assets and sources of power, and to hear them identify how people abuse power locally and globally. 🇨🇦 #PandemicHomeschool
