Spent a lot of time poking around in cockroach colons, looking at worms. That got me a Ph.D. It's a very weird world, isn't it?

In 1969, Vonnegut offered this still timely critique of U.S. attitudes toward poverty in Slaughterhouse-Five. The belief that anyone can become wealthy encourages people experiencing poverty to blame themselves rather than question the socioeconomic structures that shape their circumstances. #books

"oil companies, whose rapacious greed and bottomlessly funded anti-science propaganda are jamming the environmental collapse pedal to the floor, release glossy ads filled featuring adorable ducklings, assuring us that they love us and just want us to stay all warm and snuggly." - Dennis Perkins 🔥🤌

El Niño will lead to a lot of finger pointing and blame. Your beloved Exxon family just wants to make sure you blame the right people.

Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."

Holy cow. The Guinea-Bissau offices of the two Danish researchers who were funded by RFK Jr. to conduct an unethical experiment with the HepB vaccine just had their offices raided and vaccines seized by the police. Great work on reporting this story once again by @melodyschreiber.com.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

The government's announced approach to MAiD for mental illness and advance requests makes a dog's breakfast of both issues - it's what happens when you ignore reliable evidence and valid arguments and chase an elusive (and indefensible) political strategy.

Why is Ottawa so hellbent on limiting access to MAID?Creating unreasonable barriers to medical assistance in dying for people with mental illness is discriminatory. Leaving policies on advance requests to provinces is a cop-out, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Vancouver friends! Second day of advance voting is today. In my newsletter today, I explain why Vancouver’s historic climate leadership hangs in the balance in this municipal election. And, for those curious, I share how I'm casting my ballot: sethdklein.substack.com/p/vancouvers...

sethdklein.substack.comVancouver’s historic climate leadership hangs in the balance in this municipal electionIf incumbent mayor Ken Sim and his ABC party are re-elected this month, virtually everything won on climate to-date will be toast. My election advice...

Latest howler from Vancouver’s hapless mayor Ken Sim: Asked why ABC didn’t do more during their FOUR YEARS in power, Sim replied: “We’re still learning the ropes.” What a joke. Vancouver deserves so much better. #vanpoli

"Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) blocked a bipartisan bill that would have prohibited the destruction of any national memorial honoring a U.S. president — a measure meant to protect the Kennedy Center from a full demolition — without congressional approval." At last! Open pit mining of Mt. Rushmore is on!
