New greenwashing rules from Ad Standards Canada mean brands can't exaggerate, use misleading imagery, or make claims without scientific evidence. If enforced, this matters for our health: the fossil fuel industry has spent decades advertising its way out of responsibility for the climate crisis.

Idk who needs to hear this, but there is no "gender war". Women didn't try to take away men's right to vote, to education, or for property. Women don't write laws that control a man's body. Women didn't built systems that strip men of their any freedoms. This injustice does not go both ways.

Opinion | The anti-abortion movement’s growing support for throwing women in jail
The only way to actually stop abortions in states where they’re banned, some activists argue, is to prosecute women for homicide.

Happy Juneteenth! As a former history teacher, I really appreciate Juneteenth - the history it teaches us and the lessons it leaves us with today. None of us are truly free unless we’re all free.

This artwork by Karl Jilg, commissioned by the Swedish government, reveals how city streets have excluded human beings. Sometimes, imagination conveys our world closer to reality than reality itself.
Artwork by Karl Jilg. A surreal urban scene shows pedestrians calmly walking along a narrow sidewalk suspended above a vast, deep chasm. A man balances precariously on a wooden plank connecting two sides, as though unaware of the danger below. The surrounding environment appears normal, with traffic lights and storefronts, yet the impossible drop emphasizes a disjointed reality. Everyday life continues despite the looming void.
