It probably was a bad time for humour given your frustration with the insurance company

Yes, I did see that, just trying to be creative with insurance. Technically the driver's actions are why you no longer have your bike. He (probably not a big leap that it was a he) essentially robbed you of your bike. Glad you are OK

Free unasked advice: If you want to illustrate your paper but you cannot make polished illustrations yourself - it's ok to go with basic illustrations made in power point or to get a professional illustrator/artist to do these things for you. Using AI, however, to look bold and deliver this slop: /1

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

If "rich" means no longer having to work, I wouldn't. I'd fund other people's labs and meet for lunch regularly to hear all the cool stuff they've done.

Why yes. I did give a speech in the Senate about the joy of sex. A speech about sex and libraries, and the dangers of trying to censor what our teens can read and watch and do online. In a world full of digital risk, we need to teach our kids media literacy, and sexual literacy too. #cdnpoli #ableg

It sets a bad example when PIs do this. Designing summaries and schematic figures is a huge learning opportunity for trainees. Both in the skills needed to design them and the knowledge about the subject presented.
