It's pretty cool to drive through Alberta's endless canola fields when they're in bloom.

Too much of the DEI! Poppies... poppies... poppies...

Yeah, struggled with this one for a while, too. I have a few possibilities.

1) DEI (officers, administrators, etc.), like poppies, act as a soporific, and put one to sleep.
2) One would rather sleep than hear more DEI stuff.
3) One wants to use poppies to put DEI staff and administration to sleep.

Too much time on my hands, I guess. My own take is that DEI is like any-other well-intentioned set of ideas--some good comes from it, and some silliness as well.

Cold day in hell, etc. But that's right.

"The Gish Gallop" is tough to argue against--see also "Brandolini's Law." Maybe best to take a break.

What should I do if somebody is triggered by the word "trigger" since it implies violence?

Someone is off a couple of centuries.
