When you think about it, it’s crazy that in a city as expensive as Toronto there’s a derelict mall above two subway stations on the most expensive retail stretch in the country just…sitting there.

A newly released Harris-Harvard poll conclusively demonstrates how radically out of touch is liberal corporate media with the views of Americans. It's not just that corporate media rejects Americans' views. They don't permit those views to be heard. harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/upl…

1/15 Wealth and War The Western public debate about the war in Ukraine, both in politics and on social media, reveals a certain hubris (ask the ancient Greeks what that leads to), which is not only a bit outdated, but also based on a misunderstanding.

The new left is dead. Syriza, Podemos, Corbynism. Entirely predictable but still v little reflection going on, just lots of hand wringing

My blood's boiling & you're about to feel the same way. It's 🇨🇦's international students. Not them, but the diabolical, complex, & unimaginal scheme to fuel 🇨🇦's growth. Here's how 🇨🇦 manufactured an exploitation machine & sold it as social good. <thread> 🧵👇

News was decentralized in the past, w/good original reporting coming from working-stiff journalists in mid-size cities. Today, legacy media is consolidated and the journalists are trust fund kids who went to a top 5 university and resent the proles having opinions of their own.
