Is Kwantlen Student Association trying to kill student newspaper?
Seems bad. I trust these machinations, no matter who is behind them, will not be successful. My life is already too full of dismay (thank you very much). The editor of The Runner, the student newspaper, is interviewed here. Many … Continue reading
Raw Milk
Let’s not. The marvellous Talia Lavin discusses “the collapse of consensus reality.” I love how Lavin lets loose her scorn. Increased raw milk consumption has already led to a rise in foodborne illness—including stillbirths, miscarriages and deaths, albeit in very … Continue reading

Counter
I have had truly unpleasant interactions with people I’ve known for years – including with those in academia – during these Olympics. Their loathsome disdain for transgenderism made them attack a non-transgendered woman, a boxer from Algeria, in giddy displays … Continue reading

“Time is of the essence.”
This story is from the online news publication “Jolt: The Journal of Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater” [in Washington State]: Starting Monday, June 17, Intercity Transit will cease posting rider alerts on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter). This decision comes in response … Continue reading
ChatGPT and email
As a university prof, I both teach and, to some extent, accommodate AI platforms in the classroom. This has been a daunting, trying, and humbling experience that requires continual adjustment and correction. But there is no way around it. The … Continue reading
