I love reading books on consciousness and I really enjoy Pollan, so I was pretty psyched to get this today.

We've let the wrong people define masculinity. It’s time we take it back. Real masculinity is doing what's right, and doing it with kindness, empathy and compassion. @principlesfirst.bsky.social

Book 30. Another gut-punch of a book from @sgj.bsky.social. Some of this imagery will stick with me a while.

I’ve been clicking on this one a lot lately. Something’s gotta change.

Sunday with Sibelius and Simmons. #nowplaying #amreading

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

Just a reminder that a bar is a safe consumption site and alcohol caused 17,000 deaths in Canada in 2020. The Ford government closed down the supervised consumption site in my neighbourhood. No matter what the substance, regulated and observed is safer than illicit and alone.

Are memories in your brain distributed or local? How did early experiments in the late 1940s address this? Join me this week with neuroscientist Nicole Rust (nicolecrust.bsky.social), author of "Elusive Cures", as we discuss the modern emerging picture of the brain. eagleman.com/podcast/141

The Big 5 test is about twice as accurate as the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator for predicting life outcomes, placing the usefulness of the MBTI test halfway between science and astrology. Any psychologist will tell you, the Meyers-Briggs is mostly bullshit. powerofusnewsletter.com/p/why-are-we...

I haven’t been keeping track, how many councillors does Morgan have in his voting block? Is it the #Morgan8 or #Morgan9?

Countries that do not use Fritos as currency could be "left behind," says Frito-Lay CEO Ken Biddleman

We’ve got a long, long way to go to build a just society. Sobering stuff.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

You misspelled farce.

I’m loving Brahms today.

It's Mandatory Monday and AI is clearly the future. mandatoryrollercoaster.com/post/8081046...

Tend to the part of the garden you can reach. Tend to the part of the garden *you* can reach. I needed that reminder, and maybe you do, too.

Every single day, Aaron Rupar watches broadcasts of these horrible, stupid people just so we can have clips of them and I think Aaron legit deserves some kind of award for not pouring acid into his eyes by now.

Today’s playlist.

Across social media platforms, political posting is linked to affective polarization--extreme users post the most. As polarized partisans increasingly dominate the conversation, casual users disengage and the online public sphere grows smaller, sharper, and more extreme. arxiv.org/html/2510.25...

You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

The most expensive documentary in history and it only earned back 20% of its *marketing* budget. Fahrenheit 9/11 made $24 million in its opening weekend.

Probably not the first time I’ve reskeeted this. Probably not the last. This is as true in Canada as the US.

I’ve been a bit obsessed with Rachmaninov’s symphony 2 this last while. Any favourite performances of this piece? /cc @deeplyclassical.bsky.social @loveinner.bsky.social @lisasass.bsky.social

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

Saturday with Yo-Yo Ma, Powers, Stephenson, and Charlie.

We used to get the ULine catalog because of small business purposes, and I noticed in 2021/2022 that their catalog had some batshit antivax conspiracy stuff in the front and back pages. Needless to say, we got our packing materials elsewhere soon after.

Now this is a movie review www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

the primary blocker to UBI is the puritan belief that humanity is so sinful and depraved that it should not be permitted personhood unless it becomes 'civilised' that's how liberal social policy ended up asserting that helping people would harm them but hurting people would help them

Two weeks from now the Artemis 2 mission will be doing a flyby of the moon and even from that distance they’ll still be able to smell these chickenshit democrat “leaders.”

I’m 80% of the way through Angel Down and I can’t begin to guess how it’s going to end. As a lifelong movie nut, I keep thinking “there’s no way they could possibly adapt this for the screen.” I guess we’ll find out if Grazer can make magic happen.

Do y'all remember this from 2016? I think about this a lot. ❤️

It's a good day to stop using Hootsuite and tell them why.
