@hcrichardson.bsky.social Looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver, Canada! You're our date night. Trump has started talking about rebuilding the US Navy. Call me paranoid, but do you think he could have a blockade in mind for Canada/Mexico trade?

The USA just began a new era of autism moral panic and I am holding my children close without telling them why. Discrimination and pseudoscience has no borders. I won't let my introversion stop me, I have to become an insufferable, sleepless titan of an angry dad. Fuck every enemy of science.

Date night!

Heinz is a bit scared of the Canadian boycotts. I'm seeing ads advertising "A great-tasting Canadian ketchup". Look Americans, don't even start with us right now. Not this decade. Not about anything, not about healthcare, trans rights, bloody ketchup, NOTHING.

Am I missing the mark here, or is this absolute blue-bracelet energy?

This is not high on my priority list, but I'm disappointed that Justin Trudeau is almost out of chances to quote his father the former Prime Minister and say of another corrupt American president, "I've been called far worse by far better men."

I think of Mae Dean of Real Life Comics when I go to Vancouver's Science World, because it used to be run by Dr. Scott the Palaeontologist from Dinosaur Train, which Mae and her kids were apparently big fans of too. You can still find a full-sized cosmoceratops skull here. @maegodhavemercy.com

Date night is slam poetry at The Vogue like it's 2008 again!

Here's how old I am. Last Christmas I tried to get my Mom a musical album. My Mom told me those no longer needed to be a thing. She showed me it was on Spotify. But thanked me profusely for the thought. A shame, I used to get my Dad Van Morrison stuff and my Mom Loreena McKennitt stuff.

This morning I told my worried son the unfree societies fail because they have to always resist the people until the lies collapse and the force fails. I said fairness always wins. I wasn't lying, but it's not automatic. Every time good prevails it's excruciating and some of us don't make it.
