What's concerning about Elon's haters being among the dumbest people on Earth is that if he succeeds they'll be the dumbest people on other planets, too.

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Jane Yolen. I was fortunate enough to interview her for The Worldshapers, and her poetry appeared in Shapers of Worlds Volume III. Here's the news from Locus: locusmag.com/2026/06/jane-yo… And here's her interview on The Worldshapers from 2021: theworldshapers.com/2021/05/…

🇨🇦 Freedom of expression matters because: - It is the most effective check on abuses of power. - It enables the search for truth, even when truth is uncomfortable. - It provides a peaceful outlet for grievances, reducing the risk of violence. - It exposes bad ideas to scrutiny, allowing society to challenge and defeat them. - Neutral principles protect everyone. - It fosters dialogue and social cohesion. @LDBildy at the Senate Human Rights Committee on Bill C-9: fsucanada.ca/lisa-bildy-appe…

82 years ago today Scotty from Star Trek was shot 6 times during D-Day while fighting for Canada during WWII. On June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, later of Sarnia, landed at Juno Beach while serving in the Canadian Army. He was wounded six times later that day by friendly fire and later became best known as Scotty on Star Trek. 🇨🇦

How many more headlines like these will it take before the world wakes up to a crisis that can no longer be ignored? Antisemitism is surging at an alarming rate, not only across the United States, but around the globe. Jewish communities are facing unprecedented levels of hatred, harassment, and violence simply because they are Jewish. Silence is not an option.

.@satyanadella just put the whole "water" debate to rest. Datacenters run on a closed loop cooling system, the water usage of a datacenter for an entire year is roughly equivalent to a usage of 1 restaurant!

Censorship does not strengthen societies, it weakens them. A civilization that no longer trusts its people to speak freely has lost confidence in itself. It rules over people instead of being governed by them.

Here's a great review from @albertaviews of Betty Jane Hegerat's ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM, recently published by my @ShadowpawPress. albertaviews.ca/elephants-in…

The Eric Volmers interview with Robert J. Sawyer about THE DOWNLOADED 2: GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE, just released by my @ShadowpawPress, received full-page play in the National Post and the London Free Press this weekend!

That's going to leave a mark...

Very funny way to headline this story. People are "doing anything they can to stay cool." In other words, they're desperate, and desperate people do things like...turn on their air conditioing. Wow, that is desperate!
