I didn’t write the headline, which implies (wrongly) I think Starmer is an idiot. I do think he should act w courage and conviction; not be pushed around by Trump, continue to stand up for Ukraine, and make sure UK brings something concrete to the table.

Leading expert on tyranny👇, offering some hope that the populist fever is breaking. Next steps are critical. Conservative & moderate leaders need to re-normalize pluralism by pushing back & re-erecting guardrails. Progressives need to provide space & cover. True in Alberta as it is in America.

I teach. I'm interested in cognition, working memory, and the brain. I'm interested in how these are involved in learning. I pay attention to research into the effect of repeated COVID infections on the brain. It's one reason I protect myself and my children from COVID. #EduSky

I'd already placed Jeremy Clarkson firmly in the 'asshole' category about 20 years ago when he made my brother (then, briefly, an unpaid intern on Top Gear) go out to buy him cigarettes without ever paying him back, but now he's in the even less desirable category of Intellectually Vacuous Asshole.
