Do you know (or are you) a senior scientist in the USA who might like to move to Canada in the near future? The 2026 call for CERCs (Canada Excellence Research Chairs) was posted last month: 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 🇨🇦

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Pretty much this. Tesla is dead as a green progressive brand; buying one today is basically a declaration of Nazi affiliation.

You couldn’t make this shit up.

Trump’s tariffs are not about border security. It’s a blatant misuse of American law, disregarding a treaty that he himself signed, and a costly lie being sold to his own people.

If it walks like a duck, it’s a duck.

People travelled in the medieval period. The idea that medieval people were bound to the land, living their lives in one place, in one village, is a fiction of modernity. Races and faiths mingled, migrants migrated, merchants, scholars, and pilgrims haunted the lanes and high ways of the world.

As #MedievalSky expands like a supernova, I guess it’s time to do one of those “hey, it’s me, what do?” posts.

Well, bringing back Cameron (Eton, Brasenose, Ox.) might be Rishak’s attempt to turn the clock back to 2016, but it hardly seems progressive in any shape or form. It’s basically bringing on Harry Maguire in the 87th minute and hoping for a miracle.
