Aanjalie Roane, MSF Director of Communications, writes in the @thestar.com on how Canada’s #Budget2025 frames a $2.7 billion cut to international assistance as “savings.”
For people in crisis, those cuts mean fewer doctors, fewer medicines, less hope.

Canada: If you’re going to cut foreign aid, at least be honest about it

UCPD has charged four UC Berkeley undergrads with *felony vandalism* because they attempted to hang a cardboard bug on Sather Gate.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.
