Working at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration must be surreal.

I can only imagine the marching orders inside the regulatory agency this month: “In addition to updates on the COVID-19 bivalent vaccine, monkeypox, infant formulas, new Nutrition Fact labels and a product recall over listeria, we need to issue a PSA about cooking chicken in NyQuil.”

My faith in humanity keeps getting rocked, one deranged TikTok challenge at a time.

That’s the craziest part about these TikTok challenges. They celebrate the lowest common denominator. They revel in recklessness and anti-social behaviour. They nudge young people, who don’t yet have fully formed brains, to abandon any burgeoning calibration of risk and consequence.

I think TikTok performs a valuable function- cleaning out the shallow end of the gene pool.

Mayor Nenshi on taking a canoe on the bow during the 2013 flood:

“I can’t believe I actually have to say this, but I’m going to say it. The river is closed. You cannot boat on the river.

I have a large number of nouns that I can use to describe the people I saw in a canoe on the Bow River today. I am not allowed to use any of them. I can tell you, however, that I have been told that despite the state of local emergency, I’m not allowed to invoke the Darwin law.”

Yes. Incredibly sad. They're just kids. Report from Singapore's CNA.



Thailand has the highest rates of gun ownership in Asia. The suspect is a former cop.

Hey, who’d have thought that letting out a repeat high risk sexual offender would lead to another innocent person’s life being ruined?

Whatever persons are responsible for allowing these people to be out with society should be forced to house them. Can’t stand this ####

This Twitter thread makes me sad because I've always wanted to travel to Sweden to watch some hockey there.

This is a crazy story about 8 teenage girls, three aged 13 and three aged 14, being charged with murder in Toronto. I think that during a press conference recently the police mentioned that is was a homeless person that the girls attacked and stabbed.
