This image shows a person sitting on a bench seat inside a train or subway car, holding a large, fluffy dog on their lap. The dog has a thick, light gray to tan coat with a darker face, and its tongue is hanging out as it appears happily panting. The person is wearing a red jacket and blue jeans. The dog's leash is visible, and the person's hand is gently holding it. The window by their side lets in natural light, and blurred passengers can be seen seated further along the train.

Has science gone too far?

If fish stocks in the region could be affected by “electromagnetic fields” from underwater cables, they could also clearly be affected by “electromagnetic fields” from fishing boats. We should start with a total fishing ban in these regions for a couple centuries to sort that out.

My first car was a 1970 Ford Galaxy 500. I've lived in apartments smaller than that car.

What Doug Ford’s expansion plans may mean for the Toronto neighbourhood nearest to Billy Bishop airport Bathurst Quay is the area that would be most affected by the Premier Doug Ford-backed proposal to expand Toronto’s island airport.

If you haven't been to Billy Bishop Airport or don't spend time on that section of the waterfront, you might not realize that thousands of people live 500 metres or so from the runway. Here's what expanding it could mean to them:

Ford says no one in Canada is scrutinized like he is after backtracking on $28.9M private jet purchase | CBC News Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters Monday that "no one in the country" is more scrutinized than he is, as he explained his government's rationale for buying a $28.9-million private jet before qu...

I just keep thinking about this. Ford loves to pound people to shit and strut across their political bodies. All the name calling. The Lefties. Socialists. Cyclists. Gravy eaters.

But he whines like a high maintenance nepo when something doesn't go his way.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.

In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.

This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

Most people don't understand running.

It's why a non-runner will be more impressed by someone who jogged a 4 hour marathon than a kid who ran a 14 minute 5k

In the sport, we obsess over what "fast" is, grading and judging ourselves

Outside of it...no one has any freaking clue

I'm not impressed by the "I did this marathon on no training" folks.

To me, that sends an opposite signal:
1. You self-sabotaged so you had an out handy. You didn't risk seeing what you could do.
2. The prep is the meaningful part. You didn't have the discipline to do it.
