Most importantly, gender identity has very little to do with physiology. That’s like saying your handedness determines your math proficiency… it’s a fatally flawed disconnect. Brain development (unrelated to morphology) determines gender identity, as the evidence clearly shows.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

As I gear up to return to the electronics in the radio-controlled submersible project, I’m already thinking about the next multi component project:

How about a feral cat feeding station that takes pictures to build a machine learning database for an image detection/recognition cat door?!

A U.S. brain drain could be Canada's brain gain | CBC News Over the last few months, academics and scientists in the U.S. have been scrambling to keep their footing on swiftly eroding ground, amid massive Donald Trump-ordered funding cuts and new restrictions...

This outcome is highly dependant on who forms the next government… there’s no point in moving from one evidence denying regime to a place where another evidence denying government just got elected.

They’ll just move to Europe somewhere in that case.

Elbows up! Vote ABC strategically ya’ll.

I am unplugging my Amazon Echo device for good and switching to the Apple HomePod Mini as my #SmartSpeaker of choice. While #Alexa always recorded some voice, the new Alexa+ privacy policies were a tipping point for me. You can read more about it here: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Why is Food so Expensive in Canada?

We have a choice for who we vote for, but we don’t get to choose evidence. If it’s factual, it’s no longer political.

Food prices have jumped, and all the evidence points to climate change & corporate greed. Only one party in Canada wants to ignore that evidence, & we all know which one that is!

Nordicity summary of Canadian investment in public broadcasting compared with the world.

Nordicity summary of Canadian investment in public broadcasting compared with the world.

Make no mistake, when you hear the term β€œDefund the CBC”, it’s not about financial prudence. It’s about stifling accountability and a disdain for cultural investment. Were financial prudence the goal, target fossil fuels with 15 times more in taxpayer subsidies than the CBC gets.
