Born in '57 but have no memory of any Cold War...anything here in Canada. Although there's a chance I just wasn't paying attention.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Pretty much exactly my position.

You can acknowledge that the Iranian regime is brutal and repressive and at the same time say that it is unconscionably evil to attack Iran with no reason or provocation or approval from Congress. The statements are not contradictory. Both can be true.

It’s not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.

I think a lot of Canadians rather desperately want Carney to be something other than a banker, but this thread is exactly right about who our Prime Minister is.

He's an economic calculator and that's about as far as his thinking appears to go.

And a 5th. Seriously, guys, you wait until almost March to remember how to play football?

If West Ham played the whole season like they're playing this 2nd half, they wouldn't be facing relegation. (I stand by that even though Liverpool just got a 4th goal.)

Shittier and more expensive. It's a Doug Ford trademark. #onpoli #topoli

"Protect Ontario" my ass. When Doug Ford is talking, remember, he is lying to you. #onpoli

Ford government hid decision to lower Canadian content requirement for new trains: emails Metrolinx learned about Cancon exemption years after decision was made, internal notes say

New: The Ford government secretly reduced Canadian content requirements for two of its biggest transit projects, and when confronted, said no policies had changed.

Paul Manning: Ontario has become one of the most corrupt jurisdictions in the developed world

This is a doozy…

'Bill 5, also known as the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, reduces the requirements for environmental assessment. By doing so, it weakens ecological protection laws that safeguard the rights of Indigenous Peoples & at-risk species'

If A won't honour ebooks you've previously purchased to give away, I will. As soon as they exist again.

The rights just reverted. New digital editions will be out as soon as new covers are put together.

News Item: Pierre Poilievre to pitch new policies aimed at dealing with Trump in speech to business leaders.

Translation: Pierre Poilievre is going to kiss Trump’s ring.

Cancelling trans people's driving licences in Kansas because some people insist gender is fixed at birth, and cancelling a Tennessee woman's sterilisation op because someone decided her fertility is 'sacred', is setting up precedents to justify anyone's opinion overruling everyone's human rights.

Yep. That's what the line's from. I referenced it in the first Valor book too. LOVE Douglas Adam's work.

Along the right margin is the pie from the digital cover, the original DAW cover--shadow of a dragon on a store front--and the digital cover which has the afore mentioned pie entered on a pile of beats-the-hell-out-of-me over a red dragon tail. It was one thing to know that dragons were big--in the same sort of way space was big, secure in the knowledge it was unlikely the entirety of either would ever have to be faced--and it was another thing entirely to stand and watch a dragon drop out of the night sky. Around fifteen meters from branching horns to the tip of a lashing tail, this particular dragon was ebony and gold, iridescent enchantment and beautiful in the way of very, very dangerous things where admiration and terror became easy reactions to confuse.

Today's word is ADMIRE. Today's #BookQW from Enchantment Emporium, the first of three contemporary fantasies involving the Gale family--who aren't quite Human--and dragons--who aren't from around here.

Available as an ebook, Audible, or used. Shop indie if you can.

There's a brand new Henry Fitzroy story in it.

Thought I heard a cat in distress. Realized it was the sound air makes leaving my lungs.

Pierre Poilievre is also a climate change denier, and has voted against protecting the environment over FOUR HUNDRED (400) times in his career dedicated to destroying our environment.
And despite railing against 'elites' Poilievre spent a LOT of time fundraising at their mansions and country clubs.

Bright side, it hit the sweet spot between handing a book in and dealing with edits.

I miss that cough syrup! It doesn't exist anymore...I asked.

Cover of February Thaw in upper left and a desaturated version behind the text. The rounded bit on the top of the cover is neither a moon nor a space station but a pomegranate. The red blotches are pomegranate seeds. Under normal circumstances, Cynthia wouldn't have gone within a hundred feet of a fortune teller, but with a ride on the scrambler - something she clearly remembered as being nauseating and mildly painful - as the immediate alternative, having cards read - whatever that meant in the real world - became the lesser of two evils.

Today's word is PAIN. Today's #BookQW from the e-collection February Thaw. Because it is thawing. And snowing. Mixed messages, that's what's wrong with the world. Also, note TWO sets of em dashes in one paragraph and most emphatically not AI.

Shop indie if you can. Me, I'm returning to my sick bed.

Did you know that you can sing walking pneumonia to the tune of Waltzing Matilda?
