Love Genetics!

Statement from Jasmine Crockett.

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.

Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

8 if you count the invasion of L.A, Portland, Minneapolis -- not bombing in the traditional sense, of course. But nothing is traditional at the moment.

Another lace project for #showmeyourknits. I modified the Lakeshore Wrap from @sweetpaprikadesigns.com to be a scarf using discontinued Stroll fingering from Knitpicks. Link to my ravelry page for details in alt text.

Furry beans.

Original OSC had terraces, bridges and a ravine setting that turned science into a spatial experience.
New Science Centre is a maze of spin and broken promises.

Claim: old Science Centre roof posed immediate risk
Reality: engineers said roof needed to be repaired over 10 years

Claim: new Science Centre will be better
Reality: new Science Centre is half the size

Original OSC had 568,000 square feet of space.
New Science Centre has 280,000 square feet.

Ontario Science Centre’s new home is smaller, worse and probably pricier None of the Ford government’s main claims about this new facility at Ontario Place appear to be true

None of Ford's claims about the new Science Centre are true.

Claim: estimated cost of new Science Centre is $322 million
Reality: current estimate is $750 million

To sleep or not to sleep? What a silly question.

This is the perfect post for the Epstein wars.

Let’s not give in to Trump, Mr. Carney. There is no long-term advantage to turning over even more of our independence to satisfy the petulant child currently in the White House, and no guarantee the next might not be worse. Canada needs to make the investments so that we are not reliant on US.

Smith pins Alberta deficit on Ottawa’s immigration policies, but the budget doesn’t Provincial Finance Minister Nate Horner said he didn’t have the numbers on how newcomers impacted Alberta’s bottom line

In 2024, Alberta was complaining that Ottawa wasn't bringing in enough immigrants. Now they're complaining that Ottawa brings in too many immigrants. You'd be hard-pressed to find a whinier, more entitled, less self-blaming government anywhere in the country.

My kid (grade 11.5, age 16) wants to study climate science, but would like more info on careers/jobs broadly in that field so she has a better idea of what she might like to do. If you studied climate science or similar, what do you do now? #science #womeninscience #womeninstem #climatescience

Of course they are…only proving that badly behaved men are not only in elite hockey dressing rooms. They’re everywhere.

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

Hey just following up on this

Best possible trolling of the 🇺🇸 hockey team ever 10/10

Julie Foudy: This is not a liberal vs. conservative thing. This isn't a red vs. blue thing. We, as a nation, are tired of it. It's an opportunity to treat someone the way they should be. You not only didn't speak up after the fact, you compounded it by going to Trump

Julie Foudy: We've talked about how locker rooms get after winning a gold medal. There can be moments where you're caught in the joy of it all. Maybe they didn't hear what Trump said. But then after, how do you not say 'that was wrong?'

If you watch 2 minutes of video today…

Make it this.

A masterclass on oratory and personal responsibility is on full display.

Kids born the same year that the term “RNA-seq” was coined are heading to college this fall. We are all unspeakably ancient.

I'll be on sabbatical starting January 1, 2026, and if anyone is looking for a guest speaker for department seminars, I'm happy to discuss possible dates. Reskeet widely! 🧪⚒️

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

We should all follow their lead.

YouTube video by Senator Mary Coyle Speech on Bill S-243, An Act to establish a national framework for women’s health in Canada

Today I rose in the Senate to speak in support of Senator Henkel's Bill S-243, An Act to establish a national framework for women’s health in Canada.

It is time to close the glaring gap in women's health in Canada, once and for all.
