When I see a radical white nationalist say that they follow the Bible this must be a book with which I am unfamiliar. Seriously, Y’all truly need Jesus. Not that weird judgy, authoritarian, Ewan McGregor as ObiWan white bread Jesus; but sermon on the mount Jesus. Matthew (5-7). Read, like, follow.

I recall asking a former McGill colleague why he was still researches vaccine-autism links. “Of course, it is settled science and of course I want to do other things. But the world is such that I have to keep doing this.” Smart fella.

Rewatched the great series Chernobyl. I suspect that within the next 10 years the US will have a similar set of show trials over the upcoming poorly handled pandemics. The danger of lies.

2024 Swedish study on 2.5M people's data: "Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability... This suggests that associations observed in other models may have been attributable to confounding." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I recall a participant coming to me after one of my workshops and telling me that I need to focus on wi-fi as the cause of ADHD and ASD. Serious as can be. Picture me slowly backing away. Still not crazier than pre-natal Tylenol use causing ASD.

Getting a paper rejection when I really don't recall submitting the paper, because it was so long ago, is surreal. Oh, yeah. That paper! I remember. There is now an entirely different context for interpretation than when I submitted it. Not sure trad journals work anymore.

We got this. Monday will yield to my authority.

Watching Red Wings inter-squad hockey with my buddy.

As a member of the bald brotherhood who is about to go through chemo, I was thinking about getting wig. A very cool friend and colleague hooked me up. Imma wear it, too.

Some of us understand weekend relaxation better than others.

I would think the private-sector, for profit exorcists would be more of the thing. Seems a quality career path.

Older daughter is godmother to 3 boys younger than 3 years old. She loves the baby wrangling and helping mom and dad. The downside is frequent illness from chilling with the germ magnets.

46 years ago today this iconic photo was taken. The Clash.

Nearly all horror movies need to have some built-in reason why cell phones are not available. This is why I always have my phone, even though I don’t like it much.

When leftovers fight back. Open faced sloppy Joe on garlic bread. Ugly. No creativity. Darn tasty.

I am a professional scholar and writer. Multiple books, well over 100 papers; and endless reports, reviews, and proposals. Yet, I can simply not compose a blooskie post without a typo or using horrific grammar.

Time to do a rewatch of one of my top five favorite movies this weekend.

In response to Trump’s DEI bans, Canada’s medical schools will now fall entirely under Canadian oversight.

Yesterday was a medical day. Preparing for a long-term and challenging treatment ahead. The plan is in place and we implement soon. Optimistic and energized by this medical staff.

I love a bookstore that speaks the truth with healthy self-esteem.

I don't want drama. I wanna smell flowers, nap, snack, and then have a re-nap. But...drama is what we have and so we will cope.

Oof. The Red Wings Centennial sweater is brilliant. I'm not big on spending money on stupid stuff, but I may be willing to make an exception for this.

🚀 Exciting news: I’m accepting new graduate students in the McGill Faculty of Education Learning Sciences! If you’re passionate about educational technology, games, AI, and learning sciences, this is your chance to join a dynamic and interdisciplinary research program.

Oh, no. Robert Redford. Brilliant director ("the milagro beanfield war" is a favorite) and activist. RIP Johnny Hooker, Jeremiah Johnson, and Sundance.

Cute little sleepy schmooshy face.

One the best boxing articles I have ever read. Brilliantly written. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I'm chairing a search for a clinical assistant professor in school psych. This is a teaching role focused on assessment courses and assessment supervision. (A clinical psych with a child/assessment background could also fit.) Come join us! careers-usu.icims.com/jobs/9516/job #psych #schoolpsych

I feel attacked.

I like how the anti-science silly people are so quick to say, "They laughed at Galileo, too." Yeah, sure. You're exactly like Galileo. Some people laugh at Bozo, too. Narcissistic weirdos.

I like and need that: a cup of hope.

Sunday morning coffee is the best coffee.

An outstanding kitchen hack to save time and energy.

I am so grateful to have such supportive colleagues. It makes an enormous difference. Big thank you to Kristy and her family, and Tara. Wonderful people.

Everything seems easy when you don’t know anything.

Big fan of The Linda Lindas. These young women bring pure joyful truth-filled punk. No Obligations is a great album. But this early track is iconic. youtu.be/J5AhU5Q7vH0?...

"Use your vote, your dollar bill is your vote. It's time we stopped giving it in the bucket-loads to these giants corporations. They're not to be trusted with that amount of money. They're only gonna bland us out, robot us out. All they want is our money." Joe Strummer Listen to Joe. Always.

honey, what's wrong, you've hardly touched your festive fall gendered butt wipes

if you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can become a Kierkegaard scholar instead of joining fringe online communities

Books arrived! Isabel already started reading the Empire of AI (not pictured). Thanks, Argo Bookshop.

We got this folks. Any week you can walk away from is a good week. Happy coffee.

I am always amused that The Return of the Living Dead starts like this.

Nice publication from Julie, one of our brilliant students. Excellent science communication on training in suicide prevention. qualaxia.org/wp-content/u...

I have amazing friends and family. So blessed. Yesterday, marked one year since the death of Joyce. A lot of sharing of stories, the kids and I had ice cream from her favorite place, and daughter's friend (now my friend, too) had a box of doughnuts delivered. It was a hard day, but good day.

A cool part of ordering books from a local bookstore is getting this email. “Steve, All the books you ordered have arrived at the store. Jade will bring them to your place on Friday around 1:00. Does that work for you?”

Drinking coffee. Feeling better.

Seeking joy amongst the sea of sewage. It is an effort.
