My kids are excellent critical thinkers and I gotta say it's mostly because their English/PoliSci/History major mom regularly does live analysis of things we're watching on tv.
Me to my kids the minute the halftime show started: "Ok, he's in a sugar cane field, that was the major crop of the Caribbean, and required slave labor. It also is why they make so much rum." Major newspapers: "so he's in a field of grass for some reason?"

There's currently a norovirus outbreak among the Finnish women's hockey team. Obvs when you have a bunch of people traveling around the world during cold/flu/respiratory virus season, and the thing they traveled for requires peak physical performance, those people might want to take precautions.
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

The anti-cannabis stuff is so annoying because it's OBVIOUSLY better for us than a lot of the substances we could use instead. For me, it helps me with my anxiety, PTSD, and insomnia, and I absolutely feel that it is preferable than taking the Xanax I am also legally prescribed.

I reject the notion that anyone needs a fucking surveillance state video doorbell. People lived without them fine for hundreds of years. Get a lockbox for packages if that’s such a big concern.
