This is why journalists should not be friends with the people they cover. It‘s embarrassing for all concerned.

I've thought for a while now that -- oh god, forgive the woo -- Carney has benefited from how well he fits the good father archetype, with many of us wanting to project wisdom, integrity safety and stability on him. This becomes harder with his recent Machiavellian, morality-free choices.

Two weeks ago I wrote a column about the egregious escalation in violent Toronto police corruption in one of the biggest daily newspapers in Canada. I wrote that they are bullies & the chief should be fired. I take none of that lightly. 1/3

Yesterday @joshuasweitz.bsky.social wrote the best essay I’ve seen on Covid revisionism
The MAGA & MAHA extremists—eg RFK Jr & Drs Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Atlas & Makary—keep saying the pandemic wasn’t that bad, life saving public health protections weren’t needed, & the vaccine was dangerous

This is the kind of thing a rich CEO says at the beginning of a science fiction movie to establish for the audience that he is a sociopath and the villain.
among my favorite French Revolution details: the King's cousin, the Duke of Orleans, was so shook by the events of the revolution that he not only voted to execute his cousin but legally changed his name to Equality Phil.
But when existing cases address different facts, different contexts, and different questions, the Constitution still applies. And the court must determine what it means through disciplined interpretation, not serial citation. This is especially true when the government employs practices so recent that doctrine has not yet addressed them. The absence of a case holding that warrantless, non-exigent, anonymous civil seizures in the interior of the United States violate the Fourth Amendment does not mean the Constitution permits them. It means the practice is new enough, and brazen enough, that no court has yet been required to state the obvious. This court is now required to say it.
Really remarkable writing here, blasting the "strange timidity" of courts to interpret the Constitution itself, and their weird reliance on precedent to decide

4-5 years ago there were MDs like Lucy McBride crowing about the urgency of normal, getting kids back to school. There were PR hacks like David Zweig supporting them. Now kids are being sent to immigration detention, getting measles & these folks are nowhere to be found. It was never about the kids.
Talking about distracted driving and distracted walking as if they are similar problems is ludicrous. You are simply not going to kill someone by bumping into them while walking!

“All honor to Jefferson — to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times…”
A toddler is dead in Calgary because we allow these jacked up SUVs with very minimal forward visibility. The drivers of these can’t see people in the crosswalk.
When will these be banned?

Elon's racist little post made me mad enough to write about it at CAMPAIGN TRAILS.

The FDA today approves and promotes quack autism “cures” based on “incredible stories” while refusing to even consider vaccines despite multiple RCTs.

It’s the same damned phenomenon with antivaxxers and their autistic children, hence the determination to “fix” the autistic child and get their “real child” back.
ATTN: Ward 3 & Main St neighbours. Councillors who live no where near you are trying to stop Main St safety & complete streets interventions this budget. I know families who lost loved one or experienced critical injuries and will continue to fight for you. Pls email ward3@hamilton.ca to connect.
what's wrong with Hamilton: our council will spend tens of thousands debating $50k budget items, but not even consider anything* around how to reduce the ~$100M of overbuilt-road maintenance we have to do every year
*not quite true, they may consider cutting the solutions to this problem
“The U.S. Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A U.S Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was 'done by a few people,’ and ‘you cannot blame us all.’ And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said 'This was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.'" "The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ordruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought 'How is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'This site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew, as we do, that we are all responsible for what happens in our community.”
A resident named Walter calmly took the mic and recounted an April 9, 1945 newspaper clipping about the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp...
