WELKER: You voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in criminal contempt earlier this year for failing to comply with subpoena.
Why shouldn't the same standard apply to the former AG Pam Bondi?

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter: Dear Minister Miller, I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter: While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…

I kind of want to make a bumper sticker that says "Born to ride a bike, Forced to drive a car" because with the weather starting to improve I am feeling restless and also helpless.
I may get the basement trainer bike set up so I can just try some real gentle riding when I am feeling well enough.

Yesterday on our bike ride we almost got a sun burn and two weeks ago I was snowshoeing in the mountains! It's wild 😉
Today we have light rain, so I'm not sure if I want to get out for some activity or let it be a true #silentSunday .
Some background and video of the snowshoe-day can be found here:

A serene and untouched winter forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a snow-covered trail. The foreground features a path blanketed in deep, pristine snow, winding its way through a dense forest. The snow's surface is marked by a few footprints, suggesting recent passage and adding a sense of exploration and adventure. The trail is flanked by snow-laden evergreen trees, their branches bending under the weight of the snow, creating a natural tunnel that adds depth and…

A study of ~1,500 US workers finds AI use can reduce burnout but also cause "AI brain fry", a mental fatigue from using AI tools beyond one's cognitive capacity (Harvard Business Review)
hbr.org/2026/03/when-using-ai-

When Using AI Leads to “Brain Fry”
As firms increasingly incentivize employees to build and oversee complex teams of agents—for example, by measuring and rewarding token consumption as a proxy for performance—people are finding themselves pushed to their cognitive limits. Participants in a recent study described a “buzzing” feeling or a mental fog with difficulty focusing, slower decision-making, and headaches. The authors call this phenomenon “AI brain fry,” defined as mental fatigue from excessive use or oversight…
