"Polls don't vote. People vote." Don't fall for the "Canada is broken" rhetoric. We are as strong as ever and up for fighting the fascism growing to the south. BUT YOU HAVE TO VOTE! TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED! EVERY VOTE MATTERS! open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

It would be easier were this truly the end of the world, for in that case you would be free to do nothing. But this is not the end of the world, just the end of the world as you knew it, and so in this case you are obligated to do something.

"This world is just a little place, just the red in the sky, before the sun rises, so let us keep fast hold of hands, that when the birds begin, none of us be missing." Emily Dickinson in a letter to Norcross, September 1860 🎨 Max Ernst, The Obscure Gods. 1957

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

If you could get in a time machine and visit the great thinkers, artists and inventors, well most if not all would turn out to be autistic. Oh and then find all the forgotten women too. Divergent thinking is what got us all the cool, useful and entertaining stuff.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
