Your brain will invent fake problems for you if you don't go out and find real ones

just saw two SNAP recipients walking out the rolex store they had new rolexes on they climbed into lamborghinis and accidentally crashed them into each they got out laughing saying “it’s okay the taxpayers will buy us a new lamborghinis” that’s what you fucking idiots sound like

U LET YO BAD DAYS AFFECT U TOO MUCH. U DON'T LET YO GOOD DAYS AFFECT U ENOUGH, FIX THAT.

capitalism has ruined people’s outlook on the world and made people think it’s ok to be extremely selfish and greedy when it isn’t. it’s not normal to think human beings should go without shelter, food, and healthcare if they have no money. it’s so dystopian

*Weeps in Canada*

If you can figure out how to configure your default state to be slightly amused rather than slightly annoyed you pretty much enter God Mode

talking about toronto politics with people not from toronto can sometimes be so humiliating because they’ll say things like “bradford bradford? that’s a real guy?” and you have to be like yeah. and he’s evil

People seem to be confused. 44% of workers are paid less than a living wage. When workers are paid less than a living wage, they’re forced to rely on social safety nets to survive. That’s not a taxpayer “handout” to workers. That’s a taxpayer handout to corporations.

"i hate politics/i hate both sides" - the most right wing person you've ever met

Wow, Quebec must have really charitable developers and cheaper building materials than Ontario! Lucky. Shame we can't do anything to match these immutable traits and build 😮‍💨

THIS:

The secret formula for happiness from the film 'About Time'. (To quote Goethe: "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather.")

Excellent deep dive on the root causes of violence in schools. Students needs aren’t being met as there’s not enough education & mental health staff, and social media plays a role. Will Ontario get serious about addressing this? theglobeandmail.com/gift/e4613d959… #topoli #onpoli #onted

Successful people hate to admit they got lucky, they hate to admit anything that suggests they weren’t always 100% in control of the outcome

Capitalism isn’t driven by innovation, it’s driven by enclosure. Find something humans already know how to do collectively, put a legal fence around it, and charge rent. That’s the real growth engine, and it’s everywhere once you start looking.

In the 1960s more than 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government, everything spent on Water, Oil, Gas, Coal, Electricity, Social Housing, Telecoms, Steel, Ships... Now it's less than 5%, the rest all goes to billionaires Tax Havens That's why there is no money

If capitalism weren’t suppressing collective intelligence, we’d be centuries ahead. Precarity hijacks cognition, stress kills cooperation, profit gates breakthroughs. Remove those bottlenecks and human capability expands exponentially. The ceiling isn’t utopia, it’s coherence.
