I drove a big truck and then made a podcast about it. It's on the radio machines tonight in Canada and on the podcast machines already everywhere. Here is the truck I drove. So fast. So wobbly-ly. This guy in the picture was my instructor.

Maybe this is a cold take now but possibly what happens is so many people stumble into watching or re-watching Threads and then on to The Day After etc., on a global scale that finally shifts the needle to precipitate nuclear disarmament and then world peace, why not.

This is happening! These two found each other again in Toronto after ten years of forced separation that began just before their planned wedding day in Afghanistan. They finally got married in Toronto this spring. Come to a fundraiser for them!

Globe and Mail loosens some restraints too. In its main frontpage headline, no less. Down with restraints and rules! Liberate the apostrophe!

This episode by @Lazin_Ryder is great. (To listen to.) (Obviously to listen to. Why am I clarifying that point. It's not 'great at soccer' or whatever else I could have meant. No one would be confused on that point. Carry on.) cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

This is a fun one, I think. Neutrinos, double beta decay, Sudbury, the deepest flush toilet in the world.. this episode has it all. Or rather, it has all those things. @SNOLABscience @cbcideas cbc.ca/radio/ideas/pa…

Does anybody know a nice electrician who could give some advice to a not-yet-electrician looking to get into the trade?

Had a wonderful time chatting with CBC Radio’s Ideas @cbcideas about neutrinos and childlike wonder at Cornell Broadcast Studios yesterday! Cornellians, take advantage of the Studios for your audio and video media interviews, I wish I had sooner! @MITKidsPress
