Psychologist and writer. Author of the memoir Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class, and of a newsletter on human nature, psychology, social class and what he calls luxury beliefs.
The stories humans most enjoy usually begin with hope, descend into catastrophe, and end in triumph. Joseph Campbell wrote about the Hero’s Journey in the 1940s. Since then, advances in big data and machine learning have given researchers new ways to analyze stories. In one study, researchers used sentiment analysis to track the emotional trajectories of 112,000 plots from books, movies, video games, and even commercials. Their main conclusion was striking. If we had to summarize the average story humans tell, it would go something like this: “Things get worse and worse until, at the last min… Related

Prime Minister of Canada since March 2025; formerly governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.
Build Canada Homes was created to do one thing: get more homes built faster, right across the country. In Manitoba, we’re bringing governments and builders together to deliver hundreds of new affordable homes. Quoting @gregorrobertson A home is where families grow and futures are built, and every Canadian deserves one that’s safe and affordable. Today in Winnipeg, we announced a partnership between Build Canada Homes, the Province of Manitoba, and the City of Winnipeg that will deliver more than 800 new rental homes for Manitoba… Related

Swedish designer and programmer. Designed early Spotify, worked at Facebook and Figma, and created the Inter typeface.
Inter is having impact beyond my wildest dreams. When I started working on Inter ten years ago, I didn’t even expect it to survive the prototyping stage. Now it’s used by governments (including Switzerland, which is ironic in a way) and non-profit organizations around the world, bringing good typography to the people. It warms my heart to see so many young designers being able to express themselves in “Swiss style” without the need to break any laws. When I was a kid and an aspiring graphic designer, I could barely afford food and definitely did not have the money to buy font licenses. I wish… Quoting @SaberNaeemi Inter font is so popular these days on @googlefonts. Designed by @rsms, did you know at the beginning it was launched under the name "Interface" before being renamed to "Inter UI" and eventually shortened to just "Inter"? Related

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since July 2026 and leader of the Labour Party. MP for Makerfield since a by-election in June 2026; Mayor of Greater Manchester from 2017 before that.
I said I’d do politics differently. So these are the facts: The UK has seen the lowest number of summer small boat arrivals since 2020. We’ve returned more than 80,000 people with no right to be here – and annual returns are at their highest level since 2016. There are half the number of asylum seekers in hotels than there were last year. And today, we go further by bringing the total number of deployed French officers tackling small boat crossings to nearly 1,050. But I know that we can’t be complacent on this. Smuggling gangs are constantly adapting their tactics, and we need to respond qui… Related

Mastodon Earlier this year, the FTC Chair said "you're going to have a hard time keeping up with the number of cases we're gonna be bringing" on privacy. I guess this is starting? See https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/Hims-Complaint-Redacted-E-Filed.pdf. The bulk of the complaint is about standard scammy practices, but there's this section where the FTC is going after them because they promised to keep information private but use tracking pixels from various ad providers, which inherently share information about the user information.

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
