Drawn by the critical mass of researchers that I once followed here, I am in the process of emigrating to Bluesky, where you can now find me and my very mild takes. But yes, I intend to pop back in from time to time to fuel violent Nascar-related flame wars.
A second post in four days? Truly a golden age of blogging.
Some thoughts on a recent documentary on the Franco-American experience:

My target audience is now probably entirely on #Bluesky, but what the heck. If you're still processing last week's #election results, the piece below might prove helpful. If you're part of the 71 million, feel free to share how you are coming to terms with the moment.
New on QTP:
This is the most subdued, most optimistic, and least disparaging take I can offer at the moment. #Election2024
If you are part of the 71 million, I'd be pleased to hear/read how you are approaching this regrettably historic moment.

Joey Logano finished 21st or worst in 15 races this year. That's 41.6% of the schedule.

Added French and Scottish to the Canada map after popular demand.
French takes over Quebec and Scottish gets Northern Nova Scotia + Nunavut?
Graham Hancock: Scholars have lost all credibility.
Graham Hancock, two minutes later: So what are your thoughts, Keanu Reeves?
Why are we still doing book reviews in academic journals? I mean, really, does anyone aside from the book's author(s) read them?

.@PaulPlamondon Agiter des théories du complot et faire le procès d’intention de ceux qui critiquent le « budget de l’an 1 » du PQ n’est pas sérieux. Vous aspirez à être PM et à organiser un 3e référendum, non ?
Pourquoi donc ne pas répondre aux critiques sur :
1) les coûts des transferts du fédéral vers le Québec;
2) le mythe des gains d'efficacité;
3) l’impasse budgétaire d’un Québec indépendant;
4) les bouleversements économiques qu’entraînerait la transition vers un Québec indépendant ?
