On a positive note, here's how to put a beautiful woman with curves and little clothing on a can. Note how she shows agency and autonomy, is active, & her existence doesn't revolve around looking perky for you shitdicks

Earlier I was on Oxford Street watching all the hip youngsters with their wireless earphones and hands full of shopping bags and thinking, God, they're all going to vote for socialism on Thursday. The cognitive dissonance must be fun.

Nope, not poor people. Poor WOMEN.
Research suggests the most effective way to help poor people can be to give them no-strings-attached cash. Now, a new study finds a ripple effect: Cash transfers to some families can benefit the whole community. https://t.co/cp4oNkNIc2

How many of the people RTing this are like, yeah totally agree that's a problem, but *my* coworker is legit a bossy bitch, totally unfriendly and overstepping her role all the time, guys.
Women are often seen as likable OR competent, but rarely BOTH. Help us dismantle #TheDoubleBind. https://t.co/adl0PlU773

6. If you have ever told anyone that you would rather pay more taxes than watch the City decline, today is your victory. Be proud, you've changed the way the Mayor thinks and put the City on a better path. Now, on to the next struggle. -end

To our friends in the UK: please cherish, protect, & continue investing in your healthcare system! Once Big Pharma & special interests get their hands on it, it could take generations to regain. Millions of people in the US are fighting to have a system half as good as the NHS.
British people guess how much health care costs in the US — and they are shocked.

Hey Toronto, note that the list doesn’t mention AirPods or yellow armbands either.
London has reduced traffic deaths nearly 50 percent in the last decade. Note that the list of successful tactics does *not* include “education”.

Announcing Goldrush Lager! This lager strain is able to ferment at steamier temperatures than many lager strains, yet it still produces characteristic flavours. An underrated strain but gold for those in the know! The slightly lower attenuation works very well for malty lager.

Socialism means you won’t die from not being able to afford insulin but you can only get one type of insulin instead of choosing between Cool Ranch Insulin and Jalapeño Cheddar Insulin.

In Canada, a lot of our food comes from the US. This affects us, we are complicit.
Hi food media, ICE just snatched up 680 Latinx food/ag workers in the largest single-state workplace enforcement action in U.S. history, by targeting the 8th largest poultry producer in the US. Leaving kids + babies w/o guardians or homes. HOW IS THIS NOT FOOD NEWS?!

tl;dr: Effluent from breweries create a tremendous strain on cities' wastewater plants. Increasing water efficiency in the brewery is a very effective way to mitigate this, not just putting a holding tank at the end. Industry must be proactive, i.e. don't be a dick
