Pulling all ads from Meta, removing all official government accounts from the site formerly known as Twitter would be an easy place to start
Canadian PM Mark Carney: "Large American online platforms have become seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, islamophobia and hate in all its forms... My government will act."

This is your reminder that he was NINE years old, going on TEN during the summer of '69.
Happy birthday to Bryan Adams, born on this day in 1959 in Kingston!

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.
Got 3 minutes? This habit may help boost hope and reduce stress

Read this whole thread baseball friends.
Feels good to pull for a team that’s carrying a nation’s hopes, but it feels astonishingly good to cheer for a group of guys who care about one another. It feels almost revolutionary, and whether or not they win this thing, that’s what I’ll be left with when this is over and the winter descends. 14/

A rare happy story: The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has restored its holdings of the works of the enslaved potter David Drake to his descendants, following the pattern of Holocaust art restitution, the first time a museum has restored a work produced by an enslaved person.
MFA Boston returns works by 19th-century enslaved artist David Drake to his heirs
