BREAKING: Three original Bob Ross paintings just sold at auction for a combined $600,000 — all to support public TV stations struggling after Republican funding cuts. 🥹 Decades later, Bob Ross is still painting hope across America. 🎨

This is not a Mini-Wheat. There is absolutely nothing "mini" about this. This is just a Wheat. Or maybe just some kind of Frankenwheat.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

For anyone cheering the potential fall of #CanadaPost, I just sent a package to an American friend of mine via FedEx and, like a good capitalist company who loves the free market on days like this, they charged me DOUBLE what they normally would because they could. Welcome to the future, folks. 🤬

For those who need to hear it, never apologize for gushing about your hyperfixations and any comfort characters. All it matters is that they make you happy.

As an American living under the MAGA regime, the best advice I can give my Canadian neighbors is to take these fascists seriously. Once they get a little power, they'll grab more. They WILL do every crazy thing they say they're going to do. They're just waiting for the right moment.

This is brutal to hear. SO many great shows came from this studio.
Not officially confirmed but Nelvana, one of Canada's most storied animation studios, appears to have quietly closed down on Friday, yet another casualty of Corus Entertainment's struggle to survive.

"If you don't have a house you will be arrested."
Okay, how do I get a house?
"Oh, you can't. They're incredibly expensive, no one can afford them anymore."
So what will I be arrested for again?
"Not having one."
Is there any, like, help to be had with this contradiction?
"STOP RESISTING"

A reminder that Hustle Culture and Striver Culture are two different things. Believing that every available waking moment of your day should be monetized is toxic AF; striving for an achievable dream that could change your life by giving it a few hours of yours a day isn't. You're worth betting on.

Air Canada's CEO admitting to the media that their entire plan for the flight attendants' strike was "have the government say they're not allowed" and that they have no other ideas about how to deal with the strike is really a "yeah this is how Canada REALLY works" moment if ever there was one

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.
