This is why it's such nonsense for anyone to say that with UBI, people will lose meaning. First, jobs aren't any source of meaning for many people with jobs. Second, the jobs people can't say no to are in the way of a getting a lot of meaningful work done. And third, the rich seem to find meaning.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

I’m grateful that I have known hunger, poverty and loneliness in my 74 years. I will always remember living on instant mashed potatoes. I added mustard for flavoring. It’s made me a better human being, more empathetic to the needs of my brothers and sisters. We’re all in this together. Fuck greed!

A lot of homeless people have jobs. There isn't a single state in the entire country where minimum wage is sufficient to pay the average rent, even at full time hours — and last I knew, the majority of jobs being created actually paid LESS than minimum wage on average.

The federal government launched their public consultation on the future of Billy Bishop Airport which is open until July 24. Please fill out the online survey and use Question 5 as your opportunity to tell @mark-carney.bsky.social #NoJetsTO! #cdnpoli #ONpoli #TOpoli tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...
Federal government survey on Billy Bishop Airport

Question 5. Would you support changes to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport?

This could include optimizing airport infrastructure (including changes to runways), allowing for different aircraft types, generating economic development and job creation, improving connectivity, increasing passenger flow, etc. Please refer to the Public Consultation on the Future of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport profile page for more information.

Selected No.

Please explain:
Jets don't belong at Billy Bishop Airport! Not just for the noise levels, but it would also reduce the ability to build much needed housing within the Port Lands area and compromise the ability of residents to enjoy the Waterfront. When you got an airport train (UP Express), expansion of Pearson Airport underway (for less money), and the Alto high speed rail project, it doesn't make sense to waste $5 billion mainly to benefit American bank JP Morgan. Please listen to Torontonians and reject Doug Ford's jet proposal once and for all!

Doug Ford took out a full-page ad vilifying homeless people because he’s a horrible person and somehow an even worse premier. We know where the real danger lies in this province.
A black and white photo of Doug Ford cosplaying as a construction worker. The background is a forest. It mimics the disgusting ad his government created to vilify homeless people. The words in yellow say, “A safer Ontario means Queen’s Park without Doug Ford.”

White words at the bottom say, “Learn more: protestdougford.com” and “Protect Ontario from Doug Ford.”

"World Mask Week is May 25th-31st and during that week we need to promote one our most important tool against airborne viruses...Masks!" World Mask Week aims to flood social media with mask promotion content using two main hashtags: #WorldMaskWeek and #PassTheMask Source: x.com/keetmuise/st...
A graphic publicizing World Mask Week taking place from May 25th to 31st.
The design features a large, irregular black paint stroke graphic cantered against a gradient grey background. Inside the black shape, the words "World MASK WEEK" are written at the top, with "World" in a white cursive font and "MASK WEEK" in bold, capitalized yellow block letters.
Directly below the text is a stylized white line drawing of an N95 respirator mask with ear loops, clearly labelled "N95" on its side. At the very bottom of the black graphic, the dates "MAY 25TH-31ST" are written in the same bold, yellow block font.
If you are interested in this health campaign, let me know if you would like me to find the origins of World Mask Week, look up current mask efficacy guidelines, or find public health resources near you.

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

I had to spend an afternoon at the children’s hospital A little boy, IV in hand, walking out of oncology in an N95. His parents behind him, unmasked. Something about that moment I can’t shake—the smallest person in the room holding the most responsibility for his own safety.

“Masks don’t work.” We still hear this a lot, and it usually comes down to misunderstanding how masks actually work. Masks aren’t just tiny strainers. High-quality masks (like N95s) use electrostatic charge to attract and trap airborne particles, including those that carry viruses.
Black background with WHN branding at the top reading “whn.global.” Large pink and white text says: “Masks don’t work.” Below it: “Let’s debunk this →” Smaller text near the bottom reads: “Short answer: They do, but only when used correctly, and not all ‘masks’ are created equal.” At the bottom: “World Health Network — Science for a safer, healthier world.”Black background with “whn.global” at the top. Large pink text says: “The physics is clear: well-fitted respirators (N95/FFP2 or better) cut what you breathe out and what you breathe in.” Below, white text with one pink-highlighted phrase says: “Confusion often comes from studies that used loose surgical/medical masks, allowed people to take masks off while exposed, or mixed very different mask types and fits, conditions that blur the true benefit.” At the bottom: “World Health Network — Science for a safer, healthier world.”Black background with “whn.global” at the top. Large pink heading says: “Dose matters.” Below, large white text says: “Infection risk rises with the dose you inhale; cutting that dose (even partially) lowers risk. When both people mask, the reduction compounds, dropping exposure much more than one person masking alone.” At the bottom: “World Health Network — Science for a safer, healthier world.”Black background with “whn.global” at the top. Large pink heading says: “Fit is crucial.” Below, white text says: “Respirators are designed to seal and maintain high filtration across a range of particle sizes. Loose surgical/medical masks mainly help with source control and can leak around the edges; a well-fitted respirator protects you and others.” Lower down, smaller white and pink text says: “For more information, visit our ‘Yes, We Continue Wearing Masks’ page: whn.global/yes-we-continue-wearing-masks/” At the bottom: “World Health Network — Science for a safer, healthier world.”
