In the 1960s, two macrobiotic enthusiasts started a health-food sect beloved by hippies. Now it’s the most culty grocer in Los Angeles. (via @TheCut) thecut.com/article/erewho…

Some suggestions for stylish, comfortable, and affordable clothes that you can wear to the grocery store: 1. Gustin's jeans ($90): Made from raw denim, which means the fabric has not been pre-washed or -distressed. You put in the fades, so they look natural over time. Made from…

Monday's Canadaland about dirty dealings at the LCBO and in the wine press (!) is one of my favourite recent episodes. I love how deep @andrewinereview goes in investigating this. Who knew?? canadaland.com/podcast/920-a-…

The expression “call a spade a spade” comes from the work of Plutarch, who originally wrote “call a fig a fig & a trough a trough.” Figs & troughs were crude slang for the Vulva, so what Plutarch meant was “call a c*nt a c*nt”. When Erasmus (1466-1536) translated Plutarch’s work…

You would never have heard of Vincent van Gogh if it wasn't for his sister-in-law Jo, who deserves to be better known. Because she turned Vincent from an obscure Dutch painter into the world's most famous and beloved artist. How? Well, this is the story of the other van Gogh...…

The Sound of Freedom depicts evangelicals (who might be Mormon, or born-again Christian) as heroes who rescue kidnapped, trafficked, & abused children. In the early 2000s in Thailand, Czech anthropologist Tomáš Ryška uncovered a disturbing truth: the predators were missionaries

What the hell is an ampersand and why does it look like that?! The first thing you need to know is that "&" used to be the 27th letter of the alphabet... But there are three parts to this story. And the first begins over two thousand years ago in Ancient Rome with a single…

I’ve done so much research into the psychology of conspiracy and disinformation belief. I couldn’t fit it into 10 pages (I’ve tried), let alone a tweet. But one key thing—anxiety of insignificance. Conspiracy pushers are deeply afraid and bored with themselves and their lives.

To be effective a satirical news headline should be one sentence. Otherwise the flow is broken. Suggested re-word: Trudeau rejects nation's desired shuffle option by keeping Justin Trudeau as PM. Take one of our workshops to learn more Andy.

Most Italians had never heard of pizza before the 1950s. Carbonara was invented in the United States. Much of what we call classic Italian food — cacio e pepe, tiramisu — was probably invented in the 1960s. And other sacrileges! ft.com/content/6ac009…

Re: Jonah Hill’s gross texts: my therapist honestly changed my life when he stopped me from saying someone was “violating my boundaries” and explained that boundaries are values you impose on yourself and your own behavior, not rules you can enforce on other people.

I am so sick of CAMH's (and others') suggestion that allowing alcohol in parks will be harmful because it increases the "availability" of alcohol. It doesn't increase availability. At all. iheartradio.ca/newstalk-1010/…

This story has lived in my head, in various iterations, for about 20 years. It covers a lot of ground—early aughts misogyny, toxic fandom, the music industry’s failings when it comes to mental health—plus some killer photos and era-defining music. elle.com/culture/music/…

Y'all. Non-profits exist to fill in gaps that governments are failing to provide. Shelters, community health centres, foodbanks, arts centres. Progressive mayors should not be aiming to fund non-profits, they should be aiming to eliminate the need for them.
