Steven Pinker has recently appeared on a podcast, which serves as a platform for scientific racism. Not the first time he's shown associations to scientific racism.
To be honest, after I learnt to take the "it's actually all getting better" narratives with a grain of salt, I decided not to buy into the Pinker hype. So, I'm not disappointed.

Good Morning #Canada
Today, we celebrate the reincarnation of Shep to the shores of Dorchester New Brunswick, despite being reinstalled without proper government approval. The original wood Shep was less than 20 years old when it began to rot, leading to a new, more durable version made of fiberglass and steel. At 2.4 metres high and 135 kilos, it should be able to weather storms and bureaucratic red tape.
