The Real Way Schools are Failing Boys “If we really want boys to succeed, we need to ensure that they know how to both beat—and lose— to girls."

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

Study says Canada is too lax on civilian oversight of the military Canada maintains a low level of civilian oversight of the military due to Parliament’s rigid party discipline, according to a new book that compares it with fourteen other democracies.

So Trump wants a divorce??

Can someone please dig into the United Way’s admin costs. In the 90s and 2000s, it was 50%. So 50% of their donations went to admin fees. Donate directly to charities please.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

Meanwhile, a new report from Human Rights Watch finds the Israeli government’s forced displacement of 32,000 Palestinians in three West Bank refugee camps in January and February amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Are they on Blue Sky? It’s the best account. The news did uncover who runs it and their mandate. They’re brilliant

I run a Christmas card exchange group. We were all expats when I started it (2020). Love it. We get amazing funny and grumpy cards for each other.

I send about 12 for that group and 8 more for family/friends. 16 international. 4 🇨🇦

@cellpress.bsky.social The ability of a virus to infect a cell is partly determined by host factors required for the viral life cycle. However, not every cell of a given type is equally susceptible to infection.

Hidden?? Omg. Remember when the whole world mocked tRump in 2020 for saying basically he’d stopped testing and the numbers went down and don’t need to be reported? Now seems like everywhere is following his insanity!

I mean come on. I just ate 🤮🤮🤮

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

“The World’s Largest Mass Grave”: Palestinians Say 10,000 Bodies Are Buried Under Gaza’s Rubble In Gaza, Israel’s military is continuing to target the southern city of Khan Younis with airstrikes and artillery fire despite the U.S.-brokered truce that took effect nearly a month ago. On…

Gaza has become the world's largest mass grave, with over 10,000 bodies estimated to be buried in the rubble. Palestinians are asking for international help to find and identify the remains of their loved ones.

Let’s say a journalist had evidence of rape and sex trafficking of girls and women in emails FOR YEARS, would that not make him a co-conspirator? And should he also not be charged?

Asking for a billion people.

Release the #Epstein files.

I remember watching a show with one of the investigators, and he was absolutely rightly furious about everything. It was so nice to see someone cared about the victims

So this Christmas I’m going to try to make Scottish shortbread and my normal 🇨🇦 recipe I love!

I’ve never made the thicker Scottish shortbread. I’d like to try the fingers’ style rather than shapes. Anyone have any tips for the perfect shape? Thank you

Quebec ends free COVID-19 shots for most residents Quebec residents can now book their COVID-19 vaccinations — but unless you’re a health-care worker or part of a high-risk group, you’ll have to pay for the shot.

With all the news with AB and its decision to end free covid vaccines for all and having to order your vaccine for next year (deadline passed), it fell under the radar that Quebec also dropped its free covid vaccine.

Why? Like spending more on hospitalizations? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
