White people became wealthy from slavery and then lecture Black people about hard work. Time to shut up

The @nytimes asks, "Do Animals Grieve?"
Of course they do. While I'm glad to see ink spilled over the emotions of animals, sometimes I scratch my head at the obsession over trying to scientifically prove something that is SO self-evident.

Tofu is so versatile and good and is one of the reasons why my family has managed the affordability crisis better than had we eaten meat. We can't vegetarian ourselves out of this crisis but oh boy, it is nice to try tofu!

Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years 6 months. At his trial his lawyer invited the judge to conclude the offences were 'the consequence of that level of fame.' No. They were the consequence of him being a rapist who thought fame meant he could do it and get away with it.

Eliminate the police force and pour that money into money and support for the most marginalized. Keep a civilian crew for traffic enforcement and complex investigations. Most social problems -- solved.
SHOCKING! Winnipeg police acknowledged that enforcement doesn't address poverty, homelessness, mental health challenges or addiction. Resources do.
You can arrest people, seize drugs and clear encampments, but you can't police away the conditions driving these crises.
Housing, treatment, harm reduction and community support are essential to lasting public safety.
We will never arrest our way out of problems that require investment in people.

This is the moment Vanessa Feltz is talking about.
In 2006 on 1 Leicester Square, Russell Brand looked her in the eye mid-interview and asked if he could “have it off” with her and both her daughters. One of them was 15 at the time.
When she shut it down and said he’d understand when he had his own daughters, he doubled down, joking about sleeping with his own kids and saying if he’d had boys they’d be in a lot of trouble.
Her reaction: “God, yuck. Yuck, yuck! Don’t go there.” 🤮
This isn’t remotely funny. I’ve never found him funny tbh, but this is just sick. How do you even go there? Vanessa should’ve walked off or slapped him, that would’ve been the moment!

The only reason anyone is aware of my analysis & the term Killable Class is because @rljcoelho & @TrudoLemmens invited (urged & supported) me to contribute to their book, Unravelling MAiD in Canada.
When we talk about using your privilege this is what it means. New review.
ALT The book also includes a range of perspectives from those who engage with MAiD issues, particularly disabled persons, who have largely been ignored in Parliamentary debates about MAiD expansion in Canada. Chapter 8, “Creating a Killable Class and Manufacturing Selective Suicidality: Thoughts of a Past and Future Ironing Board,” by Gabrielle Peters, was especially illuminating. Overall, Unravelling MAiD in Canada offers readers a review of Canada’s implementation of MAiD and the many different viewpoints on its implementation. Although it is largely critical of MAiD, the book nonetheless does an excellent job of presenting the rationale for the implementation of the law alongside the critiques. As a primer for this complex topic, Unravelling MAiD is better suited for law school libraries with substantial health law courses but could still be of value to law firms who may be delving into this area of health law for the first time. This book will serve readers well as they parse through t

This is a retired police officer btw. Not knowing why there is a seperate indegenous Veterans Day
Or, he knows and literally doesn’t care because he’s a bigot.
Today, on National Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour First Nations, Inuit and Métis Veterans for their service and sacrifice in defence of Canada.
We remember those who gave their lives and thank all who served.
Their contributions are part of our shared history of service and Remembrance. On November 11, we will stand together to honour all who have served and Remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Steve Jobs was worth over $200 million at 25. He paid his daughter $385 a month.
Her mother cleaned houses and went on welfare. The county had to sue him to pay it back.
In the video below, his daughter Lisa talks about growing up with him.
Jobs was 23 when she was born. He helped pick her name. Then he denied she was his.
A DNA test said he was the father. He told Time magazine that 28% of men in America could be.
The same year, Apple went public. He became one of the richest young men in the country.
He named a computer after her: the Apple Lisa. For years, he refused to admit it.
One day her mother was on the phone with him, sobbing, begging for money. Lisa, a little girl, took the phone and said: “Just give her some money.” Then she hung up.
Another time, her mother asked him for a house. He said yes. Then he bought one for himself.
At 14 she moved in with him. His condition: she couldn’t see her mother for six months.
Years later, he was dying of cancer. She sat by his bed.
“The thing he kept on saying is, ‘I owe you one, and I’m so sorry.’”
Did she forgive him?
“I think not at the time.”
“In many ways, yes.”
When her memoir came out, his widow and his sister released a statement: her story “differs dramatically from our memories.”
The case for Jobs: he was young, he came back, and he tried to make it right before he died.
The case for Lisa: a billionaire’s daughter shouldn’t have grown up on welfare.
He named a computer after her. He wouldn’t say she was his. On his deathbed, he said, “I owe you one.”
Was “I’m sorry” enough, or did it come 30 years too late?
