Did Regina Police Service just JAIL a dude (& military vet!) & search his house for inviting ppl to a pork bbq outside the Regina mosque that recently “tested” it’s call to prayer?

Things just got hate speechy and gun grabby. All over a BBQ invite. […]

And I only ask about Regina Police Service because they have a whole UNIT dedicated to culture and diversity (including religion – created when Evan Bray was Police Chief 👌)

And will hot dog stands be banned within a certain radius, or how does this work

The Children Are Our Future

The New Law and Politics of Parental Rights

Leftists believe the state owns your children. Never has that been more evident than in the last few years, at least in Western nations, and the result has been a momentous pushback against them. The Parents Rights movement is the beating heart of the resistance to Woke Marxism, and it’s changing the world for the better. The Woke Marxists, for their part, have noticed, though, and they’re not just pushing back and “navigating parental resistance,” they’re also trying to rewrite legal theory to convince judges and magistrates that the movement is illegitimate and reactionary. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay goes through a brand new paper from the University of Michigan Law to show you how they’re doing it and how crucial this fight is.

Photoblogging

I captured these this afternoon in the ritzy Georgetown neighbourhood of Washington, DC. Brings a whole new meaning to the term “cat lady”. I think there’s a better caption for these photos, but am drawing a blank. If you can think of one, do share!

The Sound Of Settled Science

The latest on snake oil;

The scientific basis behind commonly used antidepressants is completely backwards, according to a review of the research.

For almost 50 years it has been believed by scientists and the public alike that depression is related to low levels of serotonin in the brain.

The most commonly prescribed antidepressant medications — like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft — are thought to work by keeping serotonin levels higher.

So-called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, block the re-absorption of serotonin into the cells that release it.

In fact, the review finds, the very best evidence available suggests people who are depressed actually have higher levels of serotonin in their brains, not lower.

This means that commonly used antidepressants are actually making the situation worse, not better.
