Cover shot for Ben Shapiro’s YouTube review of the movie “One Battle After Another”. The title reads, “Woke Movie promotes VIOLENCE against ICE”.

Oh good, we just bought tickets.

Absolutely! OTs even say it is good for their motor development.

somehow they managed to do the free press but worse

It is unfathomable to me that we’re all just supposed to be okay with higher energy costs and more air and light pollution, in exchange for a machine that steals personal data and copyrighted material and produces slop and wage theft, and big tech can do this to our society unilaterally.

Paris before and after street transformation

New urban forest planted in front of Paris City Hall

A Paris “School Street” where cars are removed and people space/tree planting are added

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

Exactly. Please don’t refer to Saskatchewan as West, would prefer not Alberta either. Thanks.

*ate a lot more vegetables

That’s what I was thinking. If this is accurate to the time, then they are a lot more vegetables than we give them credit for.

We are planning a trip to Europe next summer, and this is now the only thing on my itinerary.

The supply and demand myth of housing It is clear that supply and demand curves are not sufficient for understanding the housing crisis. We can build all we want, but if we are building houses as financial assets prices are going to stay ...

The housing crisis will not be resolved by increasing supply, but by increasing the right kind of supply. Constructing more homes will only lower costs if they are kept out of reach of investors and paired with significant non-market alternatives.

I love your posts, they remind me of cooking with and for my Nan ❤️

The worst!!

They claim that non-human objects have agency (when convenient).

✔️Vaccines cause autism
✔️Tylenol causes damage to pregnant women
✔️Video games radicalize children

But do guns harm people and cause mass shootings?

❌ No, of course not, silly. People kill people; guns are objects and cannot act.

North of North is an absolute delight!

What a beautiful idea for earrings ❤️❤️

A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears.

My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

I love how they often list “optional” articles and chapters too, as though getting through the required 6-10 wasn’t enough mental stimulation fer ya.
