It’s exhausting and disheartening and brutally sad, not least of all because fundamentally, it could be a different way. We could build it a different way. But a lot of people who say they’d like that to be true are, themselves, too afraid to believe it’s possible.

welcome back justin trudeau!
Maybe it's smart that Mark Carney is keeping his cards close to his chest, but if he's going to keep talking like an unemotional banker in public about our neighbour's coups and invasion threats, he needs to appoint a Minister of Speaking from the Heart To Make Canadians Feel Safe and Secure.

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out.
You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

now, more than ever, canada needs to send butt plugs to U.S soldiers in bahrain.
I can't stop thinking about this.
Specifically, that soldiers try to get sex toys shipped to Bahrain.
Which leads to one of two conclusions.
No sex shop thought the letter was newsworthy before.
Or the DoD decided to make it an issue for the first time with this unhinged letter

‘Stop sending butt plugs to Bahrain’: Toronto sex store receives letters from U.S. Department of War
Not one, but two letters were sent from the Pentagon to a Toronto-based sex toy store, found inside the boxes of returned adult items that had somehow made their way to a U.S naval base in Bahrain.

100% agreed. It’s important for individuals with progressive viewpoints to resist the urge to compare or “out-progressive” each other. To build a coalition resilient & compassionate enough to create change, we must align values AND create more space for divergent approaches, voices & capabilities.

A story went viral over the weekend claiming to describe exploitative tactics by food delivery apps. The CEO of DoorDash has since debunked that it's about his company.
For me, the idea a delivery app has an internal "Driver Desperation Score" was too fishy to believe. That's too cartoonishly evil

I have 2 really annoying heady opinions about film as a medium and they are that the experience of film is that of a dream by default no matter what and also that all film is voyeurism. I will not elaborate on either. Take it or leave it.
