🏖 🌅 At the beginning of the pandemic, my partner and I watched the movie, On the Beach (1959 film). Starring Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins and Ava Gardner, it was all about how people coped with large-scale catastrophe at the end of the world ...the film depicted people desperately and almost hysterically ignoring their reality. 🍷 🍾 🍸 🛍 The people depicted in this dystopian movie shopped, gossiped, raced cars and attended cocktail parties as though nothing was wrong. The movie and its characters seemed ludicrous to me... and now I realize On the Beach was a deadly accurate warning about how human beings react to crises. 🎥 🎞 I now think about this film all the time. It helps me to make sense of what I see and hear every day now. 🏥 😷 I recognize it is so hard for #Americans to wrap their heads around the deaths of 1,219,487 fellow Americans. That's 407 September 11 tragedies. The decision that so many have made is to simply pretend it didn't happen... to everyone's and every sector's long-term detriment. 🌬 Unfortunately, Canada has turned its back on #publichealth as well. #Canada has lost 59,034, more than died in WWII, and 3.5 million people are suffering from #longCOVID. 🙈 🙉 🙊 Pretending that the #pandemic isn't happening is destroying lives... #climateemergency #climatecrisis #COVID19 #H5N1 #measles #pandemicpreparedness #emergencyplanning https://lnkd.in/gRWpEH4T

Here's my review of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown! Fun platforming, robust combat, and creative puzzles help overcome a somewhat limp story, making this one of the best Metroidvanias on Switch and the first can't-miss title of 2024! https://lnkd.in/g3xj4kzc

Blackbird Crow Raven's utopian/dystopian time-travel fantasy novella "Quedly Dake and His Quest to Conquer the Globe" is the story of Quedly T. Dake, an evil man who will stop at nothing to achieve power; he uses flattery, bribes, and even deadly threats to achieve his goals: First, to become President of the United States, and then to name himself Secretary General of the U.N. and turn that "paper tiger" into an organization with real "teeth," a force in the world that becomes the primary world power when Dake also crowns himself Emperor of the World. He nukes the 12 nations who try to stop him. When this happens, the Eco Defenders spring and fly into action, traveling back in time from the year 2525, where they had been enjoying a peaceful, egalitarian society, to the year 2029, when Dake is about to unleash nuclear weapons on those dozen 'holdout' countries. Follow Taterskin the Labrador Retriever and his family, as well as Alexis the African Gray Parrot (the smartest animal in the world), Albert Spartacus Joad, and the other human and animal members of The Eco Defenders as they take on Dake in an effort to restore peace and harmony to the earth. DISCLAIMER: Any similarity between characters in this tale and any person or animal, living or not, is probably unintended and coincidental, but in reality virtually inevitable, as there have been billions of people (and trillions of animals) with all sorts of names and personalities. Get over it.

Not all oranges are sweet. Scaling up impact is a journey that has highs and lows. Most are not visible to the outside world, some are played out publicly. And somehow the highs and lows very often coincide. Thanks for sharing Ayodeji Balogun. Meanwhile, we continue our journey. #northstar #sustainabletrade #impactinvesting
