Proud Canadian. Secular Jew. Atheist. Mainstream liberal, consciously so. I once ran a mile in 2 parsecs. Or was it the other way around?

I strongly disagree with Trump/Vance's planned central economy, where they control & dictate the means of production from Washington DC.

What Does a New Study Really Say About an Association Between Vaccines and Autism? If anti-vaccine activists actually read it, they would see it found no correlation between vaccines and autism, says @aboutpediatrics.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/stopanti...

County immunization coverage isn't correlated to reported autism prevalence in California. You know what that means, right?

The "all anti-Zionism is always and forever antisemitism" people and the "all antisemitism becomes fine if we just say it's anti-Zionism, even if we're ranting about the Talmud" people reinforce one another, even if both sides utterly fail to see it.

"Why should Canadians trust Americans who have twice elected someone they consider a venal, dangerous buffoon? They could excuse them for being 'tricked' the first time. But electing him again, by a bigger margin the second time, tells them all they need to know." — @brynntannehill.bsky.social

The thing about Bluesky is that if you say "Here's a really serious policy problem that no one wants to hear but no one knows the answer to," you get accused of engagement-baiting. But if you tomahawk dunk on Chuck Schumer for being feckless everyone's like "Right on! Those are the good posts!"

The Canadian boycott was started by Cdns, not governments. Our reps followed our demands to decouple from the US economy where possible - it wasn't forced on us. Carney told us to not boycott US goods and we did it anyway. We're nice until you threaten us. After that, all bets are off.

📌The Hague has an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. Mamdani is reviewing whether he can arrest the war criminal if steps foot in NYC. “Whatever the law allows me to do in NYC, we'll do,” he said. Remember: He also called Hamas attacks on Israel a “horrific war crime.” Mamdani is right on both counts.

Billie Holiday died #OTD in 1959. Lady Day was one of the most influential #jazz singers of the 20th century. Her unmistakable voice--smoky, intimate, emotionally raw + her unique ability to manipulate phrasing & tempo forever changed the way jazz & pop vocals are performed. #JazzSky #MusicSky
A stark, iconic black-and-white profile photograph of legendary jazz vocalist Billie Holiday (born Eleanora Fagan, 1915–1959), renowned for her deeply expressive vocal delivery and seminal, socially conscious songs like "Strange Fruit." Shot from a dramatic lower angle against a pitch-black background, she is captured mid-performance from the chest up, her head tilted back and chin thrust upward in a moment of intense emotional release. Her eyes are tightly closed, and her mouth is wide open in song, revealing her teeth and conveying profound sorrow and passion. Her dark hair is styled into an elegant pompadour updo, revealing a large, glittering cluster earring resembling a cluster of pearls or jewels on her earlobe. She wears a light-colored, sleeveless dress or blouse with a textured pattern. The high-contrast, low-key lighting sharply illuminates her profile, neck, and throat, creating a haunting, deeply intimate, and soulful mood that underscores her tragic genius and monumental historical legacy.
