I saw Jane Goodall deliver a commencement speech at my university. Speaking publicly, she called out the BC government for approving pipelines, declaring it an antithesis to fighting climate change and mass extinction. Pathetically, a group of students, mostly business and MBAs, staged a walkout.

In a thread about Pete Hegseth's fun socks, I write: "If you're wearing tailored clothing (suits, sport coats, tailored trousers), the safe, conservative option is to wear over-the-calf socks in a color that matches your pants. So grey socks with grey pants, tan socks with tan pants. Additionally, solid navy will always work with anything except black suits or tuxedos, which call for black socks." Then someone on Twitter replies: "I really hope you respond to this: I cannot see any problem with men displaying individual taste and style through their socks in the same manner as they would through their tie and/or a pocket square. Please explain why this is wrong."

Just saw this comment with regard to Pete Hegseth's love for fun socks.

I will tell you why fun socks are bad in a tailored outfit. 🧵

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

two scandals here: VPD fuelled panic over stranger attacks even as they fell dramatically in 2022, and then refused to release records about them for 14 months, which is against the law

Justin Ling: The worst thing Mark Carney could do is make a deal with Trump Why should Canada follow the EU and others down the path to a bad deal?

"On the campaign trail, Carney frequently told Canadians that he would prefer no deal over a bad deal. It’s clear now that there are only bad deals on offer."
