@KarenFactsLover I have as friend from Pakistan. When he first got married I met his wife who I think was born in Canada. She did not wear a hijab. She does now. I'll bet his daughters do too.

When China banned the hijab in its public schools, some human rights activists screamed "religious oppression". China got it right. 🤷🏻🧐And so did Montreal. Merci à Montréal de mener la lutte pour la préservation de la laïcité. 蒙特利尔开除了150位包头巾的穆斯林公立学校教职人员。挺好。这点中国大陆搞得也是正确的。 #cdnopli

“Montreal’s largest school board has lost more than 100 support staff because they refused to remove religious symbols to comply with the province’s new secularism law”

@KarenFactsLover You might know the middle east better than me but if Palavi did it in Iran (in more than the cities) there would have been no Islamic State and from what I understand Saudi Arabia is inching forward but is far from being a modern non-religious state.

@markrmcqueen I won't disagree about that. I went to Lawrence Heights Junior High for two years and I was never scared. Even though it was right beside the social housing south of Yorkdale.

@DannyDrinksWine How did that "held over" phenomenon work? Weren't there other movies scheduled to be shown at a specific time?

In spite of the mixed reviews for "Cat People" (1942), word-of-mouth was very good & audiences flocked to see the movie wherever it played. The film that theatre bookers had expected would run no longer than a few days was held over week after week. It played so long at the Rialto that a number of newspaper reviewers went back for a second, more favourable look. In Hollywood, "Cat People" played a record thirteen week engagement at the Hawaii, where "Citizen Kane" (1941) first run lasted only twelve weeks. By the time the film’s general release was completed, it had earned enough money to save RKO which, in deeper financial trouble than ever before, had been forced to pink slip many of its employees. ("Val Lewton: The Reality of Terror", Joel E. Siegel, 1973)

Considering the amount of women I know who’ve gone through divorces and come out the other end, I feel 100% affirmed in my choice to not marry. Not-all-women, of course, but most are happier post-divorce and were unhappy-to-miserable in their marriages. I do understand the purpose of marriage—for the kids—but in general it doesn’t seem to make women happy so much as unhappy, stressed, and often kind of traumatized… I realize this is a gauche thing to say, considering the heterodox pro-marriage wave, but I think it’s generally true… Marriage just isn’t often an enjoyable or beneficial arrangement for many women…

@KarenFactsLover There have always been immigrants to Canada who are not especially liberal. But as long as they obey the law and follow the guidelines for the proper performance of their jobs I don't see why the government should interfere with their religious jewellery or clothing.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner. That schedule was invented for coal miners burning 4,800 calories a day. You burn about 2,200 at a desk. The three-meal pattern took off in the 1850s, during the Industrial Revolution. Workdays ran twelve hours, and factory workers and miners needed a midday meal just to stay upright. Before then, most English people ate twice a day. Romans ate once. Lunch didn't even exist as a separate meal. The average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, about a mile and a half. Anything under 5,000 puts you in sedentary territory. A sedentary 35-year-old guy needs about 2,200 calories a day to hold his weight steady. A sedentary woman, around 1,800. One chain-restaurant dinner runs 900 to 1,500 calories on its own. Researchers at the University of Toronto measured meals at 19 sit-down chains. Breakfasts averaged 1,226 calories, lunches 1,000, dinners 1,128. Do the math: 3,354 calories from main dishes alone. Throw in a soda and dessert and you clear 4,000, roughly what a coal miner used to eat in 1890. US food supply per person has climbed 23% since 1970. Our step counts have gone the opposite direction. The World Health Organization says more than 1 in 4 adults globally miss even the bare-minimum physical activity level. And 40.3% of American adults are now obese, according to the CDC's latest national health survey. Up from 30.5% in 2000. Three meals a day was built for people who swung pickaxes. The rest of us are borrowing their meal plan.

@DannyDrinksWine I don't think that beach volleyball players should be forced to wear thongs. But it also seems that, often, women are usually not forced to wear revealing clothing to appeal to men. They seem to like it.

@KarenFactsLover Not until Hezbollah is gone which seems like never. I'm not sure that they would agree to an Egyptian-style cold peace even if they disarmed.

Nature walks, exercise and meditation stop incessant negative thinking.
Anish Moonka@anishmoonka

You already have the fix for overthinking. Takes 30 minutes, costs nothing. Stanford tested it by putting people in brain scanners and watching what happened. The catch: it doesn't come in a bottle, so nobody takes it seriously. Your brain has a specific part that controls overthinking. Scientists call it the default mode network, but think of it as your brain's screensaver. When you're not focused on a task, it boots up and starts replaying old arguments, imagining worst-case scenarios, picking apart things you said three years ago. Normally it shuts off when you focus on something. In overthinkers, it gets stuck on. Stanford ran a study on this in 2015. They took 38 people, put them in brain scanners, then sent half on a 90-minute walk through a grassy field with oak trees. The other half walked the same 90 minutes along a loud, busy, multi-lane road. When they scanned both groups after, the nature walkers showed less blood flow to the exact brain region that drives repetitive negative thoughts. The city walkers showed zero change. Same amount of walking, completely different effect depending on where. Exercise does something similar but faster. A late-2025 study put EEG caps (those things that read your brain waves) on patients with depression and had them do 30 minutes of moderate exercise. Researchers could watch their brains switch out of overthinking mode in real time. By minute 10 it was already happening. By minute 30, their brains had fully shifted from overthinking to what the researchers called "distraction mode." When you exercise, your brain redirects processing power to keeping your body moving, and it can't run the overthinking loop and coordinate your muscles at the same time. Something gives. The overthinking drops. Rutgers tested what happens when you combine both. 30 minutes of sitting meditation, then 30 minutes of running or cycling. Twice a week, for 8 weeks. The 22 people with diagnosed depression saw symptoms drop by 40%, and all 52 participants reported spending less time trapped in their own heads. Meditation calmed the overthinking circuit from one direction, and exercise interrupted it from the other. Same off switch, two ways in. The fix for overthinking already exists. It just doesn't come in a pill bottle, so we keep scrolling past it and wishing for one that does.

@anishmoonka This was such an interesting and informative read. I watch a lot of nature videos, and these two are my favourites, I keep coming back to them. They have a way of calming me down, and I didn’t realise there was science behind it.

RIP Joy Harmon (1940-2026) Cool Hand Luke (1967) Director: Stuart Rosenberg When Joy Harmon filmed this car wash scene, she had no idea how suggestive it was. It never occurred to her until she saw it in the theater. "I just figured it was washing the car. I've always been naïve and innocent," she said. "I was acting and not trying to be s€xy. Maybe that's why the scene played so well. After seeing it at the premiere, I was a bit embarrassed." In an interview, George Kennedy discussed how Joy Harmon's iconic car washing scene was originally scheduled for half a day, and how that shoot ended up taking three days. Kennedy laughed and said, "Somewhere...there's 80,000 feet of film with Joy Harmon washing that car!" [Source: IMDb]

@buffsoldier_96 The Jewish situation seems different from the Arab. There are lots of Arabs but few Jews which left them more vulnerable to persecution in the 19th and earlier centuries.

Zionism & Arab nationalism are both spawns of romantic Herderian/völkisch nationalism. So its not a surprise that Israel & most of the Arab states see the state as the superstructure of the 'nation' - defined by blood & heritage, for a specific people on a specific land.

@Annbolyn45 @Leo_Pier_ Thanks, Anne. I understand that you want to use an attachment to such clothing to filter out biased teachers and government workers but we have rules to prevent bias & people can practice it more secretly without the clothes.

@animal @Leo_Pier_ Doesn’t limit choice on what people wear - but for teaching and government roles where your religious affiliation matters, it protects people, being served or taught, from fanatical thinkers. Same thing happens in Tajikistan.

@Leo_Pier_ Thanks. I'm all for the separation of church & state. I dont like the head coverings myself. And I remember there was concern about witnesses at a trial having to show their faces to enable the assessment of their testimony. But not every job requires that.

What Bill 21 actually prohibits: It restricts anyone in a position of authority in the public sector — judges, police, teachers — from wearing religious symbols, and requires public sector employees to perform their functions with faces uncovered. Imagine being stopped by a police officer in full niqab, or being sentenced by a judge with her face fully covered... We are supposed to find this acceptable according to the publicly funded Canadian media. Now, is it really Christian symbols that are causing issues? Of course not. I hope we soon reach a stage where we no longer have to hide behind laïcité to assert our right to live in our own culture.
