Thoughts and prayers to Toronto today 😢

The only fiction-writing advice I’ve ever received that actually felt like a true creative awakening was when @j_zimms told me “It’s basically nonfiction except you can make up your quotes.”

There is a term I wish to see go viral: “Trump hotel” as a synonym for concentration camp, prison, or orphanage.

The Toronto sign will be lit in light blue tonight for #WorldRefugeeDay and the 68 million people around the world currently displaced from their homes because of conflict or persecution. #WithRefugees https://t.co/FQvCZQpHNl

So much has happened in the last 2 months. Moved to Toronto, turned 23, convocation, graduated with honours and landed my first marketing job downtown. Change feels good 👍🏻

I weep at what America has become, and what it could have been.

This weekend has basically been all about watching @janehorrocks_ sing Cabaret over and over again. It’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen especially the ending

Of course, America knows a thing or two about concentration camps.

*travels back to 2014*
Them: What’s the future like? Do we have flying cars?
Me: Well, our child internment camps now have quotes from Art of the Deal.
Them: …
Me: ….
Them: The Donald Trump book? Why?
Me: You’re gonna want to sit down.
Them: Wait, child internment camps? https://t.co/Y7i5FMWOVU

Looks like Canada might be in the market for a *new* closest trading partner pretty soon. I’d say we’re at the suddenly doing a lot of yoga, not shopping for America’s mother’s birthday, no longer pretending to like Radiohead stage of the relationship.

“Toronto” is the Algonquin word for construction

See this girl? She’s actually been installed to protect this historic square (preventing vehicles from entering). Elegant design solution. #Oslo https://t.co/l5SmzLU5IL

This is the relatively gentle way that #Oslo is dealing with security around buildings with sensitive uses, in light of past terrorist attacks. Solid, concrete flower boxes and benches. Not bad, I say. https://t.co/0knf9ztyD5

That’s it. I’m moving to Canada.

The riding of Kiiwetinoong, in Ontario’s northwest, is 294,083 square kilometers. That riding, represented by one person, is literally larger than Nevada.

Almost all old problems in the world are in stable state in relationship to their current solution attempts. They won’t be fixed by pushing the same solutions harder—often times that just holds them more tightly together. In that sense, current solutions are part of the problem.

Took me six minutes to vote in the Ontario election. Including getting to the voting station and back home again.

Seems the original Marshmallow Test measured the wrong cause: Differing experiences with affluence & scarcity, not a child’s willpower, is the more realistic signal of future success

These national spelling bee kids were air TYPING the words out instead of air writing them 🤦🏼‍♀️ What is this world?

Now that we’re all on twitter because of this game, I am making a public service announcement: PLEASE STOP SHARING THAT STORY ABOUT 1500 KIDS MISSING. The outrage I’ve seen is a result of a total misinterpretation and could SERIOUSLY threaten the children you want to save.

Three big replications out today of:

* Srull & Wyer: Priming traits affects judgments
* Mazar et al.: Moral reminders reduce cheating
* Shoda et al: “Marshmallow task” predicts later achievement

1 & 2 find no meaningful effect, 3 a diminished one that disappears with controls

Interesting counterargument to Google requiring HTTPS on all websites: many historic sites won’t do it, which effectively amounts to a “book burning”:
