My dad’s (and I suspect most farmers’) favourite season… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geiQ3gvchGM
Largely because of the Donald Trump campaign but in various other ways as well, more and more people are talking about how we’ve come to be living in a “post-factual” society where many people no longer even attempt to use logic, reason and critical thinking to form (and change!) their opinions. It can seem as […]

A Redditor spent the summer creating a massive spreadsheet to assist in comparing the NHL’s best players across the decades.
