This is Gamja. His ears are just a bit darker than the rest of his fur so people don't miss how perfectly floppy they are. 12/10 (IG: doazi_gamja)

This is not a good move. If Greenland falls, Canada is next. Canada needs to stand with Europe so that if the time comes, they will stand with us. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Shout-out to the PAL flight crew who got us back to the rock despite 70km/hr winds.

I'll just leave all these here. 🧵

The ICE agent accused of shooting and killing Keith Porter on New Year’s Eve has a history of racism, homophobia and beating his children. This is who ICE attracts. This can’t be reformed. www.latimes.com/california/s...

CBC posted some chickpea recipes (but a lot of them honestly you can use lentils or any other beans IMO) www.cbc.ca/life/food/ch...

A lawsuit filed by electronic health record giant Epic could encourage reforms to a problematic system, where non-health companies can get their hands on patient records without their knowledge.

There is a lot of disinformation out there about what’s happening in Iran. Here’s my summary, as an Iranian, of the last couple of weeks. Anyone who comes in here talking about Mossad or sanctions will be blocked.

Thinking of all of the women like myself who have gone to ultrasounds and seen no movement and trying to imagine not having a human there to interpret it and sit with you, and if I say what I think Oz deserves I’ll lose my account and possibly my freedom

Annnnnnd there's the inevitable fundraising email from Pierre Poilievre whipping his base into a conspiratorial frenzy over Carney using the term "New World Order"

“Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a ‘confidence score’ on the person’s current address” https://www.404media.co/elite-the-palantir-app-ice-uses-to-find-neighborhoods-to-raid/

Tragic. All 6 members of this Utah family got the flu, & the four year old died. 🔹️People have trouble evaluating threats in part because they don't know how to weigh different sorts of information. Said the mom, "She had no medical issues. No eczema, no cavities 1/4 www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/h...

There are many terms to refer to a person’s sex: sex, birth sex, natal sex — and more contentiously, assigned sex at birth and biological sex. Here's our expanded guidance for journalists interested in reporting accurately about trans and intersex people: www.transjournalists.org/why-biologic...

Since taking office, Trump has canceled or halted enforcement actions against 166 corporations accused of illegal conduct. At least a third of those companies have close ties to his administration, including over 30 that have donated to Trump's ballroom. The "law and order" president.

“Until there is true justice in Venezuela and the economic means to return and rebuild the country, I don’t believe Venezuelans can go back.”

“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain. Unrelated: In 1943, Norwegian novelist Knut Hamsun gave his Nobel Prize to Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's Reichsminister for Propaganda in Nazi Germany:

Get your iron level checked. Google iron deficiency and The Vajenda and an article with the recommended tests will come up. Low iron is common in perimenopause and it is a cause of RLS. And don’t accept a ferritin level of 25 as normal!

And sure enough, OpenAI just announced it would be introducing ads to ChatGPT. Good thing @mbogen.bsky.social & I wrote about the incentives this would create for AI companies, and how those incentives were likely to shape the user experience. TL;DR: it's not great! #itsthebusinessmodel

Earlier this month, I rode a float in the Rose Bowl Parade in order to celebrate Star Trek's 60th Anniversary. I can't believe it's been so long. So much has changed, but our message of holding space for everybody remains at the forefront. (Photo by Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images for Paramount+)

Q: Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums? TRUMP: It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from global agrochemical manufacturer Bayer to block thousands of state lawsuits alleging it failed to warn people that its popular weedkiller could cause cancer.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.

Looks like we will be revisiting junk science's greatest hits from the past 50 years... www.usatoday.com/story/news/h...

Increasingly, how people think about science is shaped by political identity. 79% of Democrats think public funding essential. Only 45% of Republicans agree. 65% of Dems think U.S. losing ground (true). Only 32% of Reps agree. #ScienceMatters

A family from South Carolina brought their measles infections to airports, ferries and various locations in Washington state. The health department says that they didn’t know they had measles. But this is why unvaccinated people are a danger to communities, not just themselves.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

This is Maybelline. She was found as a stray, struggling to breathe. Born with an elongated soft palate and abnormal sinuses that cause severe swelling, she has never been able to take a full breath. Surgery will give her that chance. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹 1510.fan/maybelline-bsd

N95s offer superior protection against flu and Covid. They can protect your health and the health of those around you. Many people also find them much more comfortable than surgical masks. If you can’t afford them, look for your local mask bloc. If you can afford them, please donate!

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, I believe most Canadians will agree that it is in Canada's best interests if you cancel all of Palantir's contracts with the Canadian government. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Georgetown cites costs, but the MLK concert’s exit from the Kennedy Center signals a sharper cultural divorce. Preaching equity in a venue that dissolved its social impact wing strikes a discordant note. The move to the Howard Theatre isn't a retreat; it’s a necessary realignment of the moral arc.

During the 2024 provincial election, the NDP pledged to place a mental health counsellor in every public school in the province. Over a year later, this pledge remains unfulfilled. @kehyslop.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli #bced

Research has shown domestic violence and mass shootings are connected. Lance Armendariz was arrested for DV and had an order of protection against him . He violated the order contacting his ex girlfriend and when she refused he threatened to murder babies. Oh yeah, his bond is only $5k

About 9% of vehicles made in USA are exported. About half of those are sold to Canada. A further 30% go to Europe and 15% go to Mexico. Canada's shift to Chinese EVs are a serious (but not existential) blow to US auto sector. Depends on how able US workers are to buy more domestically.

Well that’s fairly prescriptive 😁🤣

PHAC wastewater data shows that covid is high in Ontario right now. Yet public health almost entirely silent on the levels of covid, the risks it poses, and how to protect yourself and your community. High levels are a public health failure and a significant risk for our future.

Hospitals and doctors are ignoring RFK Jr.’s new vaccine schedule www.statnews.com/2026/01/15/n... via @statnews.com "...placing their trust instead in guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is similar to previous U.S. policy."

Breaking with the United States, Canada has agreed to cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars in return for lower tariffs on Canadian farm products, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday. n.pr/4bzqnrR

Always start with this assumption: RFK Jr is lying. Germany tells RFK Jr. to mind his own business open.substack.com/pub/garyschw... @garyschw.bsky.social "German health minister Nina Warken reacted quickly, calling Kennedy’s claims 'unfounded, factually incorrect' & said they must be rejected."
