people will say things like "broccoli has more protein per calorie than steak!" and then you pull up the info and correct them and they will just be like "oh well it sounds like it could be true." and just go on with their day completely not caring that they spread lies.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Colony of Unrequited Dreams by Wayne Johnston. Sexy weird political story about how the Dominion of Canada ate but did not properly digest its smaller neighbour, the Dominion of Newfoundland.
Quote tweet with a Canadian book that would absolutely kill as a TV series.

The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.

It took the TTC about 58 minutes to take me a distance it would take me about 25 minutes to drive, and that is the whole problem right there, isn’t it? Even with Toronto’s terrible traffic, it’s still faster and more pleasant and more convenient than choosing transit most of the time.

My hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

I really wish we could take some of the negative valence off of “performative” because performance is tremendously important right now especially
"In response to criticisms she's heard about the hat being 'performative,' Mashaal, the shop owner, said the thousands of dollars that have gone toward supporting their community speaks for itself."
A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

This was the man that once inhabited the empty shirt that hugged Tess Gallagher in the poem I shared a few days ago.
To have written something as poignant as this, having received such news, I find it incredible.

This is very detailed and technical, but TLDR, Kant is bringing the receipts of the insane size of the organized anti-trans news campaign and how Google and other search engines were gamed into service.
Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

The triple whammy of “epic” “FTW” and “good sir” in just over three lines of prose has stun-locked me like a video game boss. I am on the floor and my eyes are spirals.

Finally playing Silksong, after not having regular access to my gaming PC for the better part of a year (long story). So far I’m really enjoying it! Each of the bosses has taken 2-6 tries, which is the right pain point for me. I understand there is a difficulty spike later on that’s less fun.

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

I’m so glad you went. I had many people ask me - “is it safe? Should I leave my phone and ID at home? Do I need an exit strategy?”
We’re building this bizarre and paranoid civic culture based almost entirely on miasmatic online fear endlessly feeding itself. Selma marchers didn’t even mask!

Online security theater posting made me really afraid about having my phone or showing my face before going to a no kings protest and then when I got there it was a great time and my mom was taking pictures of everything lol. I felt ridiculous because I almost didn’t go people made it sound so risky
