That 16% has been revised upwards, as it included a cohort that included those with the older, much less effective vaccine. For those vaccinated with Shingrix, the reduction of dementia diagnoses downstream may be well over 50%. The data are still coming.

Doug Ford plays that role here in Ontario much of the time, when he's not hauling out his folksy image as he tries to walk something back.

Funny you should mention Jethro Tull - we were in Longo's (upmarket Southern Ontario grocery chain) today and as I was listening to the music playing on the PA, I said to myself "Huh, they're playing Jethro Tull - odd choice". Not sure if it was a compilation track or an album, but more than 1 song.

Stand up to Trump: End the Safe Third Country Agreement Sign the petition calling on Canada to end the Safe Third Country agreement, and reopen legal pathways for those who seek asylum at our borders.

I signed this petition calling on the government of Canada to end the "Safe Third Country Agreement" - please consider doing it as well.

BREAKING: A federal judge reportedly wants to begin fining Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche $10,000 daily until they stop "flagrantly disregarding the unambiguous legal mandate to uncensor the names of Epstein's accomplices in his decades of sex-trafficking, torture, and murder."

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Stop the FEI from unethical rule change allowing injured horses to compete

So this petition seems like a "no brainer" to support - a proposed change to a rule would allow horses to continue competing in equestrian events when they are showing evidence of bleeding, which is currently prohibited. I signed, you may want to as well.

Shocking that it took them that long to cave and do it.

This is funny because horseshoe theory is a wildly debunked fascist conspiracy theory designed to make you think fighting fascism is just as bad as being a fascist and the only way to be “normal” is to just shut up and let bad things happen lol

So I've read lots & lots of really good articles that lay bare the nonsense of "horseshoe theory", but this tweet neatly does it in a few sentences. 👍

Um, not sure, but I suspect "Balls to the wall for Christ" might be something.

Phew, I can breathe easy now. If you didn't, I would fear the Earth no longer spinning on its axis and ceasing to orbit the Sun.

Opinion: U.S. Ambassador’s outburst is one more punch in the face from the neighbourhood bully Pete Hoekstra’s aggression toward David Paterson underlines how obnoxious and abusive the Trump administration has become

“His diplomatic output in this country has been laced with the edgy aggression of a minor bully punching a kid in the head, while glancing over to see if the alpha bully approves of his work.”

So because of the Aberta gvt forcing a teachers strike, I've been forced to take over the guidance of my youngest's education. Among other things, we've been reading Plato's the republic. We were in the "allegory of the cave" section yesterday. This passage always makes me

I just want to log this in the annals. We knew climate change was real. We knew there were solutions. We chose to destroy the biosphere for the profits of a tiny minority. Governments & regulatory agencies went along. Sociopathic self-destruction, not need.

Enjoy what you voted for, morons.

They hate disabled people.

Their minions here do too.

So just to be clear, not a drag queen?

It's rare for a column of mine to stay on the hot list a day beyond its publish date. This is Monday's column. On a Thursday night, riding at number 2. Maybe I'm right about the future of the Canadian auto manufacturing industry? driving.ca/column/lorra...

PASSIVE AGGRESSION TRANSLATED

Trump Returns To TikTok To Tell Gen Z They 'Owe Me Big' After He 'Saved' The Platform

What a joke.

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads: “If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights. Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too. South Dakota defends the Constitution.”

This you, Kristi?

Tweet from Aaron Rupar: “Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he’ll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away.” Attached image shows a C-SPAN split-screen of the U.S. Senate and House chambers. Text on the left reads: “U.S. Senate – Waiting for a Senator to Speak. Today: Votes Possible on Gov’t Funding Packages.” The right side caption reads: “U.S. Capitol – House Speaker Mike Johnson Remarks on Day 7 of Gov’t Shutdown.”

So long as the House stays out of session, he’ll keep refusing to seat Rep. Grijalva—the 218th vote on the Epstein files discharge petition. See how desperate they are?

Tweet from @TheDemocrats: “Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats’ bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans. This is the fifth time they’ve done this. Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.” There’s no attached image or video, only text.

Now the White House doesn’t want to give furloughed workers back pay once the government reopens, even though Trump signed the 2019 law requiring it. Disgraceful.

"Still Waters run deep" as the saying goes. What that has to do with this, I dunno, it's just an example of the random word association games my brain has always excelled at 😁

Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads: “Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years. The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.” Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Tweet from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick quoting Laura N. Rodríguez Presa. Aaron’s comment: “DHS is an escalation spiral; the more they do things like this, the more people on the ground push back... and I'm deeply worried what the ultimate result will be.” Laura’s tweet reads: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them... Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents ICE activity, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.” Attached photo shows a federal agent inside a vehicle pointing a rifle out of the driver’s side window.

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.
