  • I know a nurse who was working in peds during a smaller measles outbreak last year in Ontario where that child died. She said to me that the children she worked with were all unvaccinated, they were the sickest people she’s ever worked with in her career, and that the parents were universally obnoxious and resistant.

    The other thing is that if any unvaccinated child who simply isn’t old enough for the vaccine, meaning babies, is exposed to measles, even if they are asymptomatic they still have to be treated. She told me they had to treat 30 babies from that outbreak in our city alone.











  • Judge’s decision here.

    Apparently one of the reasons for the sentence was that he was suffering from PTSD at the time, and other officers in similar cases were given the same sentence. So guys, if you want to send people who you are in a position of power over dick pics, just make sure to say it was because of PTSD because I’m sure that judgement would totally be the same for civilians right? .

    In all seriousness I read a lot of judicial decisions in Canada and I find most of them measured and according to the law. I think the law needs to reflect harsher punishments for some crimes, like sexual assault/child molestation/rape/CSAM possession, etc. It’s honestly shocking to read some of the crimes against children, and their perpetrators are never named so as to protect the child’s privacy, but one guy was raping his 14 year old stepdaughter with a condom on every time for years, and because of the law could only get 8 years. The judge’s hands are tied in this regard.

    But somehow cops always get off.






  • The great opera singer Enrico Caruso was the 18th of 21 children, only 3 of whom survived infancy.

    Johann Sebastian Bach wrote an opera about coffee addiction.

    The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was afraid his head would come off while conducting, so he would hold his chin with one hand while doing so.

    The girlfriend of composer Erik Satie wore a corsage made of carrots, and she was a painter and liked to feed the paintings she made. Satie once threw her out the window but she survived.
