Your morning watching/listening

I love this live version of "Ghost of Tom Joad":

Note what Tom Morello is wearing. The Vancouver IWW branch gave it to him. They were kind of excited to see this video.

I already put this on my Facebook, but it's my sincere belief that it needs to be seen by as many people as possible.

That Positive Thinking video is spot on. That's what corporate America is really like.

Thanks. Love the positive thinking video. The positive thinking and "manifesting" movement is just the sort of thing that does not belong in the corporate world/setting.

Total bullsh*t rules the office not genuine goodly intent of any kind.

I like the video too. Also whoever had the idea to add visually interesting cartoon-drawings to those TED talks is a genius.

I think blaming everything on "attitude" uses the same kind of flawed wisdom as late night infomercial personalities and daily lifetime lottery hopefuls. Wishing doesn't make it so it takes more than that.

It also reminds me of the folks who think all poor people are poor because of their "attitude towards money". Yeah that's it...people who are poor will always be poor because they wanna be. Good one.

Way to blame the victim yet again. I think it makes the people in power feel less guilty to think these thoughts.

Just pick up your socks folks.
