@lauren "The man behind a massive leak of U.S. government secrets that has exposed spying on allies, revealed the grim prospects for Ukraine's war with Russia and ignited diplomatic fires for the White House is a young, charismatic gun enthusiast who shared highly classified documents with a group of far-flung acquaintances searching for companionship amid the isolation of the pandemic." proquest.com/docview/2799927131/C5003A0F7C8D47CEPQ/7e <- library card

@davidaugust @yaneerbaryam @Peternimmo There are many small local food coops, often organic & health oriented to serve unmet needs in communities. These have had years of success. With coop membership comes involvement and commitment beyond what’s the most convenient. The big grocery chains won’t be able to challenge the potential loyalty and local focus a coop can do.

@davidaugust @yaneerbaryam @Peternimmo I’ll entertain that I’m wrong, but the idea that a locally focused coop org can compete with big national, multinational by focusing on what makes sense locally needs a chance. I grew up in Saskatchewan amongst the socialists :))

@mike Posting on Mastadon depends solely on the quality of your individual posts and their ability to engage other users. There is no amplifier mechanism. Perhaps these journalists lack the confidence to engage solely on their own content with nothing else to push it. Is tech nothing more than hype?

@ken @ProPublica Canada has its judicial council, with the power to investigate and hold all Canadian justices accountable. Former justice Brown, faced with a review chose to retire. With the council, slightest hint of impropriety ... https://cjc-ccm.ca/en/news/canadian-judicial-council-provides-update-matter-regarding-justice-russell-brown
