I cannot emphasize enough how much I miss street dining and am furious so many outdoor spaces that reduced the risk of Covid-19 were taken away for PARKING SPACES
The NYC council voting for this downgrade was just such an own goal.

THREAD. Look what they’ve done. @PresidentBarbie.bsky.social I remember reading in 2006 that 2nd Lt. Perez had been killed. I thought “this was our future President, stolen by this unnecessary war.” I have never forgotten her. This photo is from the exhibit at NMAAHC. She will never be erased.

The ratio to this is astonishing, but many of the replies are worth reading. Canadians are incredibly mad that one of the CBC's longest running radio programs is normalizing and framing the country as a possible 51st American state.
There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

Some folks haven't accepted that their arguments and values are currently countercultural. That's not as scary for me because I'm accustomed to it. For many of you, it's a new feeling. Wanting to believe that Trump had only marginal support has left some people unprepared.

Some people are not invested in collective survival. They are invested in self-expression, self-righteousness, and who or what they believe themselves to be. Such people can be prone to behaviors I would characterize as disorganizing. I have absolutely no time for that shit right now.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
