Average interaction with #yegtraffic here in #yeg, this lady with a dog on her lap stopped entirely on the crosswalk (well past every other stopped car) and when I merely gestured to the stop line she started yelling incoherently and giving me the finger

My local theater holds Saturday morning cartoon showings, chalking this entirely debate up to a theater skill issue, sorry all your theaters suck

I feel like there’s a fundamental disconnect where the average person doesn’t quite realize that you could just show up in America during the 19th century- like the idea of legal vs illegal immigration is such a contemporary concept

Let's not pretend there's a coherent philosophy being articulated. It's a factional fight over who gets to call the shots. It springs from a belief that who has power matters. Which is, indeed, the philosophy with the most explanatory punch.

All the tennis people on the timeline super happy. Venus Williams must have done it again.

mattan bk Israel’s PR is so horrific it can’t even placate the Indian Israelboos who spend 14 hours a day in the IDF’s X replies

We really need to build Gundams and send them to Ansar Allah already

Matt Yglesias’s only intellectual ambition is to suck up to the wealthy and powerful and he seems genuinely confounded and frustrated by those with genuine beliefs.

And is very unevenly distributed! No time is in total agreement with itself, and the widespread beliefs and movements of the future are always seeded in the past, both for better and for worse.

Well, just got fired for posting about politics. It sucks man. My boss is an Anti-Revisionist Marxist-Leninist and he saw me defending Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. He called me a Dengist and told me to clean out my desk.

It's a kind of magical thinking to believe we can elect a champion who will then be able to tell a heavily armed and lavishly equipped police force that it is going to have to stop being racist and corrupt. We need to think through what kind of democratic power would be able to.

Other provincial labour federations, including the Ontario Federation of Labour, will start collecting funds to build a war chest to help pay fines. Danielle Smith may have thought she could bully the teachers into submission. We are not going to let that happen.

Watching some true television

Wild that Seven Days premiered the year before Farscape and somehow also about two decades before
