Social Media harms: just another moral panic.

Shout out the Ontario school boards suing social media giants for the harm caused to kids. Edit: forgot the /s!

To be clear, the article tries to make clear that the social media panic is a moral panic comparable to every other media or recreational moral panic like rock music, dungeons and dragons, and video games. And I agree with the author.

Not exactly woodworking, but it is my (mostly) woodworking shop. Let me know if I've gone too far astray.

If you are visiting the following links on a mobile device, you may have to scroll down quite a bit to get to the actual content. I'm still playing with site design and layout.

Fair Vote Canada - Proportional Representation

Fair Vote Canada just announced that a motion for a Citizen's Assembly on electoral reform will be voted on in Parliament.

You have to scroll down a bit to see the announcement, which then contains links to details.

In summary, Fair Vote has worked with a few MPs to create and submit a motion to get their asses in gear on electoral reform. This will be voted on in Parliament, so pester your MP and anyone else who can help. And, obviously, spread the word.
