“I don’t want to wear a mask”

If masking could have eliminated my suffering - I would never be without one

The amount of fentanyl that crosses the US-Canadian border is basically homeopathic! This isn't a serious demand! You don't have to be stupid in public!

The world is on fire – sometimes literally, sometimes metaphorically. Every day we wake up to headlines that feel like dystopian plot points: climate collapse, political rot, algorithmic overlords harvesting our attention for profit.

Wishing I lived in Winnipeg - one of the last of the non-Postmedia newspapers in Canada. Not sure if folks in the ‘Peg know how lucky they are. Maybe that’s why Manitobans haven’t succumbed to the Canada-is-broken sloganeers.

A Stanford study once concluded with a statement that most of our childhood beliefs stay with us for life unless we actively seek to rewrite them.
I actively started rewriting mine in 1986. I pull all the major categories of my beliefs back up every couple of years.

I'm going to drop the pretense of being a contemporary German for this edition of #Vossische1933f and instead talk a little about what the news we have read so far, including today's morning edition on Saturday, 7 January 1933, means in context. Link to electronic edition (German) below. 1/

Rise in babies are being born with heart defects.
This isn’t lockdowns, obviously, they didn’t even exist then!
It’s obviously not school closures.
