From Canada’s Team to Team Canada 🍁 Good Luck, #CANMNT ‼️ #FIFAWorldCup 🏆⚽️

Since Africa’s best ref Omar Artan is all over Twitter today, it’s worth remembering that Wavin’ Flag the 2010 World Cup song and one of the greatest football anthems ever was also by Somali artist @KNAAN 🇸🇴🇸🇴

Oh please. If Nick Clegg wanted to expose the dark underbelly of Silicon Valley he could breach his NDA & dish the dirt. Instead he pocketed an alleged $100m & is laundering his reputation with assistance from UK media

Doug Ford gets an F. The legislature sat for 29 days this year. Doug Ford used that time to buy a jet, try to take over Billy Bishop, and restrict FOI requests to hide his records. He didn't fix a single thing for people struggling with rent, groceries, or gas. The Ontario NDP will keep fighting for solutions to make life more affordable.

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

“Trump has wrecked it. He has debased the People’s House with the aesthetic sensibilities of a pimp turned bankrupt casino operator and reality television performer, who confuses excess for greatness and spectacle for dignity. It’s appalling.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/…

Fuck off, unless there’s a story like this about how much the military loses, this is just manufacturing consent for further privatization of public services

PM Carney: "This is an observation from experience. In these separation issues it is often advanced that 'Vote for this and we will strengthen our hand in future negotiation.' That is a very dangerous bluff. I saw firsthand what happened in the UK, they're still trying to undo what people didn't think they were voting for but what they ended up having."

We all knew it would happen! @fordnation has shut down FOIs across government. The Greenbelt, Skills Development, the Air Rights Scandal , his luxury private jet. The list goes on… He’s keeping it all behind closed doors. Just too many scandals to keep track of.

"There's no way you can write a ten page paper without chatGPT" WE COULD LITERALLY DO EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN HUMAN HISTORY WITHOUT CHATGPT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

"Do not be fooled by her deathbed conversion last night, in which she said 'I'm fighting for Canada'- because let's be clear, she will not lift one finger to help the remain side in this ridiculous referendum- she's put it on us., she's making us do the work, we are proud to do that work." AB NDP leader Naheed Nenshi reacting to Premier Smith's address and referendum question.

AMAZING VIDEO outside Stephen Colbert theater. A chalk message on Broadway in front of the theater, praising Colbert and criticizing President Trump and CBS is washed away. #StephenColbert

Let’s finally put this tired MAGA fantasy to rest: the U.S. has never militarily protected Canada — not once, not ever. Canada has never been invaded by a foreign power in modern history, and we have certainly never asked the U.S. to ride in like some self-appointed saviour. In fact, the only time American troops showed up on our soil in force was during the War of 1812 (Confederation wasn't even born yet) — when they tried to invade and conquer us and got their asses handed to them by a militia, First Nations warriors, and British forces. The colonies defended themselves. And, furthermore to facts, NORAD is a joint defense partnership, NOT American charity. Yet the MAGA base keeps repeating this crap that “if it wasn’t for us, Canada would be gone.” No. We never begged for your protection, we never needed it, and we sure as hell don’t owe you for a fantasy scenario that exists only in your heads. Canada stands on its own. Always has. 🇨🇦 #canpoli

Thomas Massie: "You don't need 100 Thomas Massies. You just need me to win - because there are already 30 or 40 great people in Congress who want to take the right votes, but they're afraid they can't get reelected if they do. If I win, the Freedom Caucus finds its voice again."

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

We’re watching a Holocaust. Don’t ignore this. Repost this.

Child deaths in wars: Ukraine: 791 in 4 years. Palestine: 21,000 in 2.7 year. Lebanon: 200 in 74 days. Does the world condemn the killing of children or is it complicated when it is Middle Eastern children?

I don’t even care if this is true 😆
