Surround yourself with people who build and create — and your life will be great. Surround yourself with people who destroy and complain—and your life will suck. It’s actually that simple.

I think we just saw one of our first intentional smiles! 😍 My beautiful baby girl, there you are ❤️ It fills my heart with so much joy watching all your amazing progress. We’re slowly working on a thumbs up and thumbs down, and you’ve already mastered the high five like a pro! Another day, another beautiful milestone. I love you, Maya ❤️ forever and always

Groups dehumanize people so they can justify violently attacking and disposing of them. Where's @MarkJCarney's statement about this?
Dehumanization of Jews on a Nazi level by @swilkinsonbc “The Israelis are not human. They have hands — they have faces but they’re not one of us. They are monsters.”

Scott Pelley pretends the public doesn't believe the media is biased. Does Pelley have an internet connection?
Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss asked 60 Minutes staffers: “Why do you think the country thinks you’re biased?" Pelley: "Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about?" "Because we certainly didn't believe that." Incredible.

Scott Pelley’s NYT interview is an unintended eulogy for legacy media and a portrait of a man blubbering and seething in denial of his irrelevance. As a cultural document, it’s fascinating.

Hey did you hear about Frank? No what happened? He died. Oh no. His cancer came back? No. It was his air conditioner.

Anyone else remember when Special K created their own diet and it was basically just eating two bowls of Special K every day and everyone accepted that as medically sound?

I'm prepared to go to jail over this. My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life. My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma. I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development. I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child. I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings. Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences. No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics. The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate. The path forward is empathy for past attendees. The path forward is truth based on facts. The path forward is real conversations. The path forward is to lean into complexity. If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations. If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.
.@SenateCA human rights committee votes 7 to 1 to criminalize Indian Residential School “denialism.” Public statements intended to promote hatred by downplaying impacts of Residential Schools would be outlawed under threat of 2 years in jail. blacklocks.ca/vote-to-outlaw… #cdnpoli @TerryGlavin @jonkay

If the garbage is full why not take your trash home. This is bear country and this could be the reason a bear is euthanized. Please think through your actions.

An international student was stabbed to death in the Niagara region on May 15. I am unable to find any Canadian media reporting this. I came to know about it when someone shared several reports from India. I wonder why Canadian media is keeping mum. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

Exactly. Everyone wants great journalism, but they don't want to pay for it. And then they wonder why it's being subsidized. Pay for the journalism you enjoy. Support your favourite journalists. The cost to do so is criminally low.
If a stranger burst into your office demanding that you work for free, then insulted you when you refused, how would you respond?

Some of you weren’t latchkey kids and it shows. I was cooking my own dinner in junior high.
Some reasons why cooking is overwhelming for many: -To cook each cuisine requires different base set of spices, staples, etc -Popular recipes often include obscure, expensive ingredients -Purchasing exact item amts often not possible -Utilizing rest of perishable food challenging

These people are so entitled. They think they should have shows that lose millions. Make movies that lose millions. Write books no one reads. Colbert’s job was to be funny. He lost his show because he allowed his anger to overshadow his humor.
Bruce Springsteen dedicated “Streets of Minneapolis” to Stephen Colbert on his penultimate 'Late Show,' saying Colbert lost his show because Trump “can’t take a joke.” dlvr.it/TSf4qh
