The Day the World Stops Shoppong examined this and found that it doesn’t take a whole lot of concerted action to tank the consumption economy.

Buy nothing says are good but less good if you return to regular habits and redouble your consumption after the boycott is over.

My kid has been enjoying “Auntie Dolly’s” free Imagination Library books since he was born. In Canada. That woman is a treasure.

Whichever party can promise another season or two of Anne will secure the majority government.

I worked there during the frozen donut transition. A few really cool stoner night bakers got let go from my store.

I always thought the only reason they can choose to charge so much is because countries respected pharmaceutical patents. In a trade war the PM could just say that they won’t be enforcing any domestic generic drug copies.

I’d say he’s headed for his billionaire bunker but he likes golf too much to follow the scared dictator playbook.

Happening but not happened quite yet. It’s still a minefield at the grocery store to shop for things not partially or fully prepared in the US. For seemingly ubiquitous things like cream cheese or pickles, from recent outings.

I think it’s harder to find the signal from the noise of sameness.

I used to be able to find interesting bands and artists by watching The Wedge on MuchMusic or listening to my local alternative radio station. Now those stations all play Top 40 and TV shows got replaced by algorithmically curated beige.

As much as I am complaining I’d love if somebody could recommend some useful sources for somebody who wants to navigate away from Apple Music and Spotify streaming land.

It totally did. I am old enough to remember laughing at Abe Simpson and now I am become!

The definition of what’s European is squishy and doesn’t necessarily conform to geography. It could be qualified by shard values or borders if EU members agree.
