Storm in the morning light
I feel, no more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right

Surely that ain't right

I just started watching #Pluribus, and after three episodes, the show certainly is thought-provoking. An virus has made everyone around Carol perfectly happy, while she remains immune, exposing the absurdities of this artificially cheerful world. #television 🇨🇦

We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.

The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.

Which is why the rage.

I wish that the #Ontario government would pursue the Right Wing Nazi groups that are on the streets of Ontario with the same vigour.

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

How fucking depressing. Shitty Liberal government or even shittier Con government.

More and more foreign and domestic owned media normalizing anti-progressive and pro American policies to protect oligarchs who pay nothing in taxes.

Yup, sounds like Canada.

This study investigates the hypothesis that unexpected events, such as the presence of a person in a Batman costume on public transpo or an unusual interruption in a classroom setting, can promote prosocial behaviour. Spoiler: it does.

Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat, or an ode to the Sun. The artist intended it to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom. a truck driving the winding Route 1 in Iceland

Got up early and tried a new #bread recipe in my dutch oven. This is jalapeño and cheddar. I started baking bread during covid and love both the making and the eating 😀

"It was the ministers themselves, and their political staff, who selected the winners."

Nothing to see here.... it was only $1.3 billion tax dollars getting funnelled to friends of the ruling government.

Totally legit. Trust me bro.
