Grandiloquent Word of the Day logo - Sepia-toned graphic with a baroque Victorian typeface and a pen-and-ink illustration of a corpulent old guy in a top hat, walking with an air of superiority as he knocks upon a door while holding a long list in his hand.
Cullion [KUL-ee-un]
(n.)
- A base, despicable, or vile fellow; a rascal. A rude, mean-spirited person.
Used in a sentence:
“That slubberdegullion is a smelly old cullion, strutting through gilded halls; if you mention the list, he’ll clench up his fist and say that the news is false.”
A polarizing sentence for a summery offence.
Surely it’s all about the optics.
Oh man, I’ve gotta get to Greenland!

This is an amazing achievement with a Canadian connection - the CRISPR therapy was delivered using lipid nanoparticles developed by Acuitas Therapeutics, a company based in BC 🧪 🇨🇦
Was honoured to be a keynote at the #ScienceDiplomacySummit at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington earlier this week.
We need science diplomacy now more than ever, to promote global cooperation and address shared challenges. 🌍🔬

The promise of this technology goes way beyond vaccines. The dumbasses trying to hinder its development are making it so that we all lose out.

In dark uncertain times, it’s ever more important to have hope. Not passive hope. We need to work, resist, fight w/ hope.

❤️ NYC for its walkability and great public transit, and fewer cars makes it way better. Congestion pricing is working. 1/2

A couple more for my photo collection of Marty Short sporting his Order of 🇨🇦 pin on latenight television…
These are from his hosting of @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social last night and induction into the 5-Timers club.

Photo of the author with two colleagues at a holiday party. One colleague has his arm around the other two people. An optical illusion makes it look as though his arm is about eight feet long.
The holidays are a time for extending your reach and widening the embrace of your fellow human beings…
