Buoyant foam floaties (aka “puddle jumpers” or “water wings”) are cute, and convenient. But experts have concerns. Here’s what to know before you buy them. nyti.ms/4oVPzgY

Performative cruelty is the weak person’s attempt to appear strong.

Just like your college major doesn’t restrict you to a single career path, your college major does not determine whether you will be good or evil. Your choices matter, and they don’t stop mattering.

"AI in education can meet every child where they are." - Prime Minister Mark Carney, April 11, 2026

Local government says they will be watching the school children’s attendance very closely when local government is in session 53 days a year.

I think I'm going to get this. I've wanted an Effin' Birds shirt for awhile. As a Canadaphile, birder, and someone who's not comfortable wearing a shirt with English profanities out in public, this is the shirt for me.

I read the article articles and watched the videos, but genuinely nothing prepared me for this. This is unbelievable. My perspective comes from years of working live events across the country. I’ve worked county fairs that were 1,000x better than the Great American State Fair. It’s really bad.

GOP Urges Democrats To Tone Down Rhetoric Used To Quote President Verbatim

Who is the convicted felon speaking to when he says, “Welcome, but be good”? American’s use passports to travel to other countries. What a travesty that this narcissist is President. We will burn it all down after we paint America blue. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed

Who do you think PAYS for Doug Ford’s 'Protect Ontario' ads? Ontarians. MILLIONS of $$$$ are being SIPHONED AWAY from 😡Healthcare 😡Education 😡Housing www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... via @thestar.com

Doug Ford spent 112 MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS on self-congratulatory ads. WHAT THIS COULD HAVE BOUGHT: · Support for 15,000 SENIORS for a YEAR · 125 MRI scanners · FINANCIAL AID for 31,000 Ontario students www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... via @thestar.com

This was incredibly touching and scathing.

Good morning. We're starting the day angry. Exhibits on COVID-19 masking and health equity have been papered over at CDC's David J. Sencer Museum. This admin prefers to whitewash history. Let’s never stop telling the truth, defending evidence, and holding power accountable.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Cape Verde’s Vozinha says U.S. visa issues stopped his mother from witnessing his World Cup heroics in person. The 40-year-old goalkeeper was visibly emotional on the pitch after the game. nyti.ms/4vW6UsB

NEW: Texas middle schoolers could be taught about a Christian revolutionary war movement that never existed. The so-called “Black Robe Regiment” is a favorite myth of David Barton and other Christian nationalists who are leading massive revisions of Texas curricula to focus on US “exceptionalism.”

Well, since the GOP dismantled infectious disease surveillance, it is unlikely we will know the true extent until it is far too late. Sadly.

⚽️ Mondial-2026: l'Espagne, championne d'Europe et prétendante au titre au Mondial-2026, a manqué ses débuts dans la compétition en concédant un match nul totalement inattendu (0-0) face au Cap-Vert, qui disputait son premier match en Coupe du Monde lundi à Atlanta.

I’m not sure people realize how huge this problem is. During Trump 1.0, ~5,000 kids were separated from parents at the border. During Trump 2.0, the Brookings Institution estimates *145,000* US citizen kids have been separated, mostly in the country's interior www.brookings.edu/articles/how... 5/x

A Russian political cartoonist who lampooned Putin, Semyon Skrepetsky, has been assassinated in the Polish city of Biała Podlaska. He was shot in the parking area of a residential building. A suspect was arrested near the Belarusian Embassy.

BREAKING: We’ve filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of Shepard Scalf, a teacher who was fired without cause because he is intersex. Firing people because of their identity is illegal discrimination, plain and simple.

This is absolutely fascinating and one of many reasons we need science funding for the understanding of the natural world around us. Work like this does so much for sustainability 👏

Painting it blue makes the algae worse and more noticeable. It also makes the water hotter and that increases cracking. He made the existing problems worse for 13 million of our taxpayer dollars.

Happy to share with you the most personal of my personal essays—with gratitude to Vogue for letting me write about my experience becoming a bride at the same time I’m becoming an ambulatory wheelchair user. Thanks to all of you who read it and share in our story. ❤️ www.vogue.com/article/find...

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

i think the worst thing you can be in Minnesota is probably a murderer

Why is there a supplement craze if they don’t even work? www.npr.org/2026/06/05/n... @planetmoney.bsky.social Little evidence effective. Possibly harmful. Disagree with Marion Nestle. Supplement industry exploitive & normalizes health misinformation. Placebo effects can't justify this BS.

Such a disgusting person. Shameful doesn’t begin to describe it.

I thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

To be fair, he really needs daytime rest after being up all night posting fantasy A-I images of himself on "Truth" Social, as all presidents do.

Nearly 1/3 of disabled voters face barriers to casting their ballots. President Trump's executive order attacking mail-in voting threatens one of the few accessible ways to participate in our democracy for millions of disabled voters. We're suing to block the executive order.

New paper in @thelancet.com ft. PLRC member Dr. Megan Fitzgerald (@themegascope.bsky.social): "In this paper, a group of bioethicists, clinician-scientists and people.. with #LongCovid argue that it is ethically imperative to conduct trials of disease-modifying treatments for LC now." 🧵

Where is PP's f*cking security clearance...!???

For patients with post-exertional malaise, the advice - push through, exercise more - can make things significantly worse. Should doctors be required to understand long COVID before treating it? 🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critically-speaking/id1463016517 @grachstephanie.bsky.social

Poor Vicky Mboko. Her trainers couldn't find a cute colour of KT Tape or K-Tape for her (serving) right shoulder instead of putting the obviously not her flesh tone (it's beige!) tape on this young, beautifully dark skinned Canadian woman? Like come on.
