As per usual the biggest gap between the global average and me is in replay rate - over the course of 7-30 days I'm not going to have many replays, most seem to make it a fairly prominent part of their listening profile

“Our brains, capable of sophisticated communication through the most complex language on Earth, are an evolutionary miracle—one that has seemingly happened just once. Why would we seek to jettison our superpower? Turning language over to machines is the equivalent of a bird clipping its own wings.”

Why are we letting drivers of private cars run roughshod over the city? Today's drivers who carve corners like they're in the F1 and display hair-trigger tempers like chimpanzees that scream. It's like no one gives a flying fadoo about quality of life 😑 www.linkedin.com/posts/davida...

With bike lanes getting more sucked in to a broader bad-faith culture war, your voice is essential. "Jones from Queen up to Dundas is a vital connection..but today, w/ only faded, paint-only bike lanes, there's zero protection from fast moving vehicles" @cycletoronto.bsky.social‬ @to_cycling_ped

Crack pipes from a vending machine for twenty-five cents? Meant to decrease the spread of HIV and hepatitis, the pipes are still available on Vancouver's lower east side. Go 🇨🇦 we are so broken in the eyes of the MAGA 🤣 projectknow.com/blog/canadas...

Social media is just the crack pipe on the sundae of unmediated societal permission to inflame addictions like gambling. www.linkedin.com/posts/davida...

Scientists and researchers understand that sex is a multidimensional category. Donald Trump’s rigid definitions undermine their ability to do their jobs.

Bob Dylan is a restless poet - even though 'Sante-Fe' has NEVER been performed live, the lyrics on his official site are VERY different from what he sings on the only released version www.bobdylan.com/songs/santa-f/

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

Beware of "parents' rights" schemers

All they ever say is eat your veggies - unless you're a Barbary sheep and do it, then they they shoot you from a helicopter for sport! 70 years after Barbary sheep were brought to West Texas, ranchers say they're an invasive species, munching up the vegetation www.texastribune.org/2025/06/09/t...

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

They even stole the horizontal stroke from the L!

It’s not just that the oligarchs don’t want to pay their fair share of taxes. Many of them literally do not believe in the concept of government. They are rich and powerful and have the “divine right” to do anything they want.
