Do my best to be hopeful, positive and bring joy and awesomeness to every moment. In the words of Ted Lasso, it’s never wrong to do the right thing, and be curious, not judgemental. Go Raptors! #Raptors #BlueJays #CovidIsNotOver #NeverVoteConservative

This is so fantastic…. Made me laugh… and now I know what to do with that chalk that’s sitting in my desk drawer….
A must listen for anyone in North America. The select few in power have been normalizing untruths and bad behaviour. We need to stand up (together) for what’s right.

I love footballball but FIFA and Fascism is simply not worth it. I will not go to America or watch the games on Telly. I will #boycottTheWorldCup money makers.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Cozy lit originated as a kind of quiet, ambiguous fiction. Now, the West has blended it with romance tropes, TikTok aesthetics, and dopamine-driven pacing. But what gets lost when comfort becomes content? thewalrus.ca/cozy-lit/

Ontario and Alberta, this is happening to you. Health care that you have to pay for will put you in debt. It will cost you your house. Say goodbye to retirement. Fight like hell to save #UniversalHealthcare before it’s too late.
ACA marketplace subsidies, which allowed millions of people to afford private health insurance, are set to expire by the end of this year.

For contractors and freelancers in particular, the expiration of these enhanced subsidies could decide whether or not they can afford health insurance.
For many contractors, losing ACA subsidies means losing health care
The GOP's unprecedented premium hikes put chronically ill workers—especially freelancers—in peril.

Methane is a planet killer.
Canada gave millions to big oil for methane reduction. They used is as a subsidy for oil production.
Mark Carney should not have given Big Oil a break on methane obligations.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

AI enables hacks with no original ideas and no writing experience to churn out a book in hours instead of the months and years it takes a human to write a good book.

They've been flooding the industry for several months now, so much so that Amazon had to set limits.

Amazon Limits Authors to Self-Publishing 3 Books Per Day Amid Flood of AI Garbage
Amazon moves to stop people from posting AI-generated books on its marketplace, though a three-books-per-day limit still seems high given how long it takes to write an actual book.

People don’t understand that stripping the guardrails of regulation and oversight doesn’t just apply to like better business bureau type shit but also like on a practical level when I get into an elevator I expect that it has passed a safety inspection & that type of security will be gone soon

Trump threatened ICE raids at the World Cup. I wonder if the silly "FIFA Peace Prize" was to buy him off so he wouldn't interfere. Both FIFA & Trump are so corruptly transactional, it would work that way. Or course, money may have changed hands, too.

Doug Ford's specialty is making things worse as he introduces new problems. Really amazing to watch. Simply a master of civic malfeasance.

Far right Freedom to infect disease spreaders should not be honoured.

We’re so narcissistic & science illiterate that we want the freedom to murder our neighbours with Covid or permanently disabled them with Long Covid

Because Jesus was all about murdering and disabling people for his ego, right?
