Ancestry is a key part of identity. But any attempt to use it to claim superiority or to demean the identities of others is almost certainly based on fiction. Don’t be sucked in by anyone who claims the contrary.

It’s Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl. They keep leaving off the “Dr.”
Pay attention to how Idaho & the msm media infantilize her, calling her a “little girl” and ignoring her academic achievements. None of that is on accident.

"dormant seeds preserved in sediment... had germinated, bringing back a variety of aquatic plants, including rare fen pondweed."

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau."
Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

It is National Pizza Day, so this is your periodic reminder that Hawaiian Pizza was invented by a Greek-Canadian named Sam Panopoulos at his Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario in 1962.

The 80-year project to make this country completely car-dependent is complete, and now that you're trapped, you need to spend an average of $737 a month for your own economic and social mobility.
UPDATE! Charlie Balin has won the @vendeeglobeeng.bsky.social in record time!!! Around the world solo under sail in 64d 19h 22m, cutting the previous record by over nine days!

Congratulations to leaders in the @vendeeglobeeng.bsky.social race nearing finish line! Leader Charlie Balin (France) may make landfall Monday, around the world non-stop in 73 days! The first such finish in 1969 by Robin Knox-Johnson took 312 days!

I don't align myself with any party, and the idea of being "a Liberal" or an "NDPer" or whatever, mystifies me. I think we should be freer than that to be involved with representational democracy and decision making and not be always trying to score touchdowns for our team.
It is entirely logical to be furious at the fossil fuel industry, whose decades-long campaign of corrupting politicians, crafting fake science, sowing false doubt, and lying at an industrial scale has brought us to this moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/o...
