Daily, I reiterate my rules for navigating social media: 1. I am complicit in any offence I might take. 2. I can't control what others think or say, only how I react. 3. I don't have to have an opinion on everything. 4. If I don't know you, then your opinion of me is irrelevant.

I am seeing a lot of MAHA defense attorney doctors desperate to blame everyone else for what they unleashed on us all. Sorry. We remember and you own it.

It was sometime in the late 1990s. I had just signed my very first book deal. My best friend and I were dancing and celebrating on the street outside @MasseyCollege at @UofT. A gruff older man was not impressed and shouldered past me. Later, I realized it was Mordecai Richler.

People are harassing this kind, innocent young man with the same disgusting slurs the president so casually uses. Drop a 💙 if you’re Team Gus all the way.

Congratulations to our scientist, Laurent Simons, for earning his PhD in quantum physics at just 15—an exceptional achievement. In our lab, Laurent’s work focuses on in silico biology to accelerate treatment of devastating diseases. We’re thrilled to have him on the team.
