To be fair, the actual wording in the video, he's using "working people" to mean everyone who relies on a salary (which would presumably include academics) and also small business owners. The only people he explicitly excludes are billionaires.

Basically repackaged Bernie Sanders messaging.

I'm on a medication that has been helping--allows me to stay focused for more than about 3 hours in a day. I'm finally able to hold down a job again, although it is part time.

I do think it's important to separate domestic and foreign here.

Like...yes, Canadian news can have biases when reporting about stuff within Canada, but reporting on what's going on in the US I generally find pretty factual.

It's a tough question, cause it feels like nearly every previously good major American news outlet has been compromised in some way.

NYT feels compromised, Washington Post feels compromised, CBS feels compromised. NPR got dissolved.

Like...I suppose I still trust CBC, but that's Canadian.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

For the first time since the Great Depression, more Americans are leaving the US than coming in. www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

Why Fantasy Magic Feels So Fake
Why Fantasy Magic Feels So Fake YouTube video by ReligionForBreakfast

This analysis of fantasy magic by @andrewmarkhenry.bsky.social is really interesting. Explains where the modern ideas of mana used in games comes from, and explains how different that is from historical magic.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

For me the good memories I have about Too Human are Nintendo Power hyping it up in like 1999 or something (I never actually played it when it came out, but I enjoyed the writing of writers fantasizing about it eventually becoming a good game).

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Stop Meeting Students Where They Are What I learned when I finally started assigning the hard reading again.

"We need to help students grow into the difficulty of reading. The best way to do that is not to β€œmeet them where they are”... We have to do as Whitman says instead: Stop somewhere ahead and wait for them to catch up." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Would Orson Welles want his lost classic restored by A.I.? You mean the same Orson Welles who, when Ted Turner was leading the charge to colorize black & white movies, famously proclaimed "don't let Ted Turner deface my movie with his crayons"? I think I can make an educated guess here.
