@drdagly Sorry you missed it! The conversation was as eclectic as usual and the frazzle pans were a thing of beauty this morning.

Gisèle Pelicot is on the stand today and asked about her decision to continue using the surname "Pelicot".

Gisèle explains that when the trial began her children were "ashamed" of the name.

She adds: "I have grandchildren who are called that.

"Today, I want them to be proud of their grandmother.

"My name is known across the world now. They shouldn't be ashamed of carrying that name.

"Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."

Yes we will. What a woman.

I don't know how I missed the news about Biera closing, but I am absolutely devastated. The canary in the coal mine has stopped chirping long ago, it's solidly dead.

Love your local restaurants and food service businesses. They might not make it.

This article sums up quite nicely how busy women’s brains are, all the time, making decisions about their (perceived) safety. It’s exhausting. https://t.co/eOmqtmEKip

This is the most mind-blowing book I've read this year.

It's written by an ex-Stanford doctor and ex-food lobbyist who expose the medical, food, and pharmaceutical industry.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

An articulate explanation of Calgary's Green Line project.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

There’s an awful lot of misinformation being spread about the Green Line, so let me lay things out clearly. I know a few critics of this project who could use a refresher.
