Just a Canuck who wants to support other hard-working Canucks. I am not paid (in any way, including merch). Just sharing things that I think are worth sharing. That includes some pet pics. And encouragement to see Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical 💼

Never thought I'd be living a dystopian novel but since I am, here I am.
I will live each page to fight for 🇨🇦🇺🇦and humanity.
I will live each line to fight against tyranny.
I will live each word to stop the Madness of King Trump.
I will live each letter to build a better, safer world.

Wondering who else would find watching a unedited video of DJT interacting with the doctor during the administration of the MoCa to be worth the pain and time.

Good morning Bluesky! It’s Tuesday, which means you’ve survived Monday and another news cycle about Trump. That’s basically cardio.

Social media can push us to the dark side, with negative content. A new study finds watching inspiring videos for just 3 minutes a day is on par with meditation for boosting mood and reducing stress.

The earliest known example of ‘brain rot’ comes from Henry David Thoreau in his 1854 book “Walden.”

“While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?”

I was floored when I discovered that people actually have mental images.

I can’t imagine living with that ability.

The New Yorker @newyorker.com · 1d

Mental imagery is associated with a bewildering variety of human traits and capacities: a propensity to hold grudges; a vulnerability to trauma; emotional awareness; ways of making art; memory of one’s life. What happens if you can’t see it?

Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound

Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.

You may mean that rhetorically but it could also be seen as a challenge by those who are, hm, morally challenged.

The East Wing’s very plainness came to symbolize the functional modesty of democratic government: a space for staff, not spectacle; for the sustaining rituals of civic life, not the exhibition of personal glory. All of that is now gone, Adam Gopnik writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/p_9guI
