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

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

If you're on social media or watch sports, you are downright bombarded with ads for gambling. Rules around it have loosened greatly in Canada, and as a result, there is a gambling related suicide in Canada on average every 9 days. Horrifying.

sincere posting on main before i close up today: huge thanks to everyone who supported us this year! choosing us to buy books is obviously great but so are things that don't cost anything like sharing posts, telling friends about us, or writing google reviews. we see it all and it's so appreciated
