The son your dad always wanted. Counter Terrorism & Anti-Hate scholar (... and a little fraud and elder abuse in there too). Probably haven't brushed my hair.

🚨OUT NOW: We found that the world’s largest incel forum has nearly doubled in size since our "Incelosphere” report in 2022 - and that they’re still promoting hate & violence. ‘Adolescence’ can be fiction, but online extremism and its offline consequences are real. Here’s what we found 🧵

You can’t scare me. I’ve run 50 miles without music.

I’ve increased the font size on my browser. It’s the beginning of the end, folks.

Eveyone & their brother is using ChatGPT to avoid doing the reading/homework & we’re all going to suffer bc of it.

Because this has come up six times in my feed today, and I'm worried it's not saturating the internet enough...here it is again.

… I’d just like to know Bubba Sparxxx’s take on everything right now.

I'm finding that the older I get, the more I absolutely adore working with small groups of women.

It is Wednesday. I have booked my lecturers, have provided more documents for a PhD application, half finished half of an online course, and I'm not afraid of my PM. This deserves another coffee and a cookie.

Wild.

Can’t wait for the pay bump that comes with these ;)

I withdrew my PhD applications to 2 US schools based on the fact that they required me to come for weekend visits to the campus ... which is a shame, because these schools have amazing PhD programmes, specifically for police education.

Good luck maintaining a functional registry without folks with autism

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

I started my day by playing "Laid" by JAMES on the Alexa, and now everything feels a lot more manageable.

Conversation with my partner as he rubs Tiger Balm into my 50km’d leg muscles: Me: Please pretend that my legs are baby birds. Him: Sure. *vigorously massages Tiger Balm into my R leg* Me: The baby birds in this scenario, are for the record, alive.

Co-Teaching an Elder Abuse course over the past 8 days. So many toenail photos... A good indicator of neglect is how an older person's feet are being taken care of, so if you have folks in long term care or people aging at home with PSW's or Home Care Aids... CHECK THEIR TOES!

Is there anywhere better to people watch (other than an airport) than the hotel check in/ out desk?

Disgraceful shit from CTV.

So, from what I can tell, @booker.senate.gov would make an absolutely excellent #ultrarunner. Sir, I'd love to crew you should you decide to take on a 100 mile race.

Chocolate covered raisins for lunch. Because nothing says self-care like fruit AND chocolate.

You know you're Canadian when you've been kicked out of at least one bar for standing on the chair and leading the crowd in a great anthem about stealing yankee gold. With deep apologies to that nice little club in Jasper. Or was it Halifax? Singing with #elbowsup www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0Cv...

I did a thing. open.spotify.com/episode/5bFP...

It’s amazing how the biggest act of resistance right now is just being kind, thoughtful and hopeful. Wild how it riles some people up.

I’m going down the dark hole that is self-harm cults, and it’s dark. I’ve spent the past 10 years researching and writing about how evil humans can be, and it’s getting tiresome. I had to get a new tattoo to feel better (… line is from The Book Thief)

Maybe what the world needs now is a hug from Zack Morris. I feel like Jessi Spano on speed, and I doubt I’m the only one.

Finally catching up with my Baba today. Nothing breaks my heart like hearing her cry over how Zelenskyy was treated by trump + vance. "They're bullies. Imagine being a bully, and still being that stupid?"

@094459.bsky.social So good to see you this morning!!!! Love the jumper :)

My kid drew “two French frogs in love.” I had to share. Because I love love … and also the French.

YOU DON’T NEED CORPORATE APPROVAL TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT. That is all. As you were.

Lovely Iftar dinner last night with the good people of GRFS.

Wait, we’re on SEASON EIGHT of LOVE IS BLIND? How are people still signing up for this?! IN THEIR TWENTIES?!?!?

Idiot asking why Zelenskyy doesn’t wear a suit. Buddy, have you seen the guys in suits? They’re idiots.

Not sure how I’m gonna use this yet, but I’m gonna use this:

Canada won the hockey game last night, so now I have all I need to get me through the weekend. Job well done, lads. We needed that. <3 (And good game, USA)

What.... what are all the other hate/bias/extremism academics doing these days aside from reading the news and then sobbing and spending the day adding items to our online LCBO cart?
