I really like #HenryRollins from #BlackFlag when he is doing #stand-up The intro is strange before he comes out on stage but it's totally worth it to see his story about trying not to …

LOL at Bolsonaro admitting that he took a soldering iron to his ankle bracelet but claiming that he was not trying to take it off.

Good Morning #Canada
Last week I registered with Ontario's Healthcare Connect program to help us get a family doctor in the Barrie area. Our previous family doctor retired in November and we were still covered by the clinic but it's in Brampton, more than 90 minutes away. So I'm now relying on Dougie to keep his promise to find a family doctor for all Ontarians by June 2026. I mean he's done so well with housing, environmental goals, Eglinton Crosstown....
Did you know that 83% of Canadians now report they have regular access to a family doctor which means an approximate 500K improvement in the past two years. That still leaves about 6M of us without a family physician. Family physician shortages are the highest in the territories (>55%), Quebec (21.5%) and British Columbia (17.7%), and the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia have the fewest family physicians per 100 000 persons in the population.

Nononono... unlike the last 17 Ttimes Trump has lied about having a Healthcare plan, THIS time it'll totally be different.
"He'll have something in a 2 weeks."

Hivemind:
I am looking for suitable reading on data for a second-year undergraduate module called "Liberal Arts and the Public Sphere". Any recommendations for monographs or essays on critical data literacy or the importance of data to the political economy are gratefully received. The students do not necessarily have advanced numeracy or statistical skills, so the reading must be fairly accessible.

Trump about bruise on right hand: Because I shake a lot of hands.
Trump about bruise on left hand: Do you think Biden can do that?
(PS: I made up Trump's response about his left hand but you know he would say something like that.)

Good Morning #Canada
Tod Maffin, former #CBC Broadcaster, is now referred to as an expert on Canadian culture and Identity, and a viral content creator. If you have followed Tod over the past few years you have seen a progression from explaining Canadians to our southern neighbours to becoming politely militant in the face of an increasingly hostile U.S. government. His latest contribution deserves the Order of Canada and a superhero cape. He launched a social media campaign to attract American #Healthcare workers to his community and from there the Healthcare Infusion Organization was born. There are now 20 chapters across Canada focused on recruiting and supporting doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals in local communities facing staff shortages. He has done more to improve Canadian Healthcare than any level of government in this country.

Good Morning #Canada
This has been quite the roller-coaster year for my wife and I. If there was one thing that I would be thankful for it would be our much maligned #Healthcare system. Through early testing, in April 2025, both our daughters were diagnosed with a genetic defect that significantly increases risk of cancer. Breast cancer was found in our oldest daughter and her treatment included surgery, chemo, and radiation. The prognosis for a longer life is now excellent. The youngest is facing potential preventative surgery to reduce her risk. After diagnosis the medical response was immediate and both daughters have numerous stories about caring individuals that have provided treatment, counseling, and empathy.
One man had a huge impact on Canada’s status as an important centre for genetics research - Dr. Lou Siminovitch. Here is his story about how he helped establish 4 different research organizations in Toronto.
