Professional cynic. The cup is twice as big as it needs to be. Staunch anti-theist. I believe "scientism" is an excellent way to live. Evidence-based progressive. Proudly nerdy. Middle-aged, white, euro-male with an excellent education, trying to use my privilege for good. Pet-parent to two wonderful huskies named Layla and Cheekoo.

Doug the Thug Ford encourages colleges and universities to run as businesses.
Is it any wonder #ontario #education is a cesspool?
Ford is an imbecilic troglodyte of cosmological proportions.

Intimidation, threats, lawsuits – we need a law with teeth to stop legal bullies!

Dragged into court in Hamburg over Indonesia, buried in cease-and-desist threats for defending Indigenous rights in Brazil – corporate bullies will go to great lengths to silence us. Germany’s proposed anti-SLAPP law is too weak – tell the German government that activists deserve real protection.

Trump uninvites #Canada from the board of peace. As far as I'm concerned, good riddance to that laughable exercise of American Exceptionalism. The world's a big place. Canada will be fine. #politics #USA

The 2025 National Security Strategy of the #USA seems to point towards a white supremacist nation.
How far the mighty have fallen!
(Actually, I never thought they were that mighty - just loud and obnoxious.)

Trump's "peace plan" for #Ukraine is really about the #US and #Russia gutting it like a trout. And kicking the #EU in the balls to boot. It's demeaning, insulting, and malevolent. IOW, classic Trump/Putin.
