"Implicit in the bargain was permission to do with that time whatever the kid saw fit. No educational goal had to be attained. Nothing had to be learned... The exchange itself carried value for having happened. It taught that kid a lesson in the nature of generosity."

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

What does housing as a human right actually mean in a housing crisis that is only getting worse? 🏘️

"There were spaces to meet (and argue), spaces to organize and plan – and spaces to socialize too... Having different groups sharing the same space provided opportunities for people to learn how to organize together." "Yet now, the left is looking at a very different and less vibrant landscape."...

I wrote about where the US's current wave of transphobia comes from, and how both Mamdani and Spanberger have shown useful ways for politicians to reject it and still win.

A failed UCP candidate is suing @pressprogress.ca for reporting and quoting things she said. With no anti-SLAPP protection in Alberta, they've been drawn into a long, costly legal battle. If you believe in accountability and a free press, and can spare it, give them your support.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

#tdih 1871, a mob of about 500 Anglo & Latino men rioted in LA's Chinatown. They lynched at least 17 Chinese residents. 💔 Perpetrators all went free.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

I found this poem in a birthday text to a dear friend and thought I might give it a second life. My mother emigrated to 🇨🇦, a comet with a tail; her mother had a stroke when mine was 13; her mother emigrated as a teen from 🇮🇳 to 🇿🇦، with her mother, indentured, 2 women alone. I cook to hear them.

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

Conservatives hate Canada and love Trump “Conservatives are the most likely to say they approve of Donald Trump and the least likely to say they’re proud to be Canadian — by far.” cultmtl.com/2025/09/cons...

Rouet pre-match "I'm not worried about New Zealand" to Pelletier post-match "It's just fun to play rugby". Canada don't give a shit about anything but balling and it's incredible.

Keep Going, Friends. You're all doing good work. I'll see ya up around the Bend. Adieu, Robert.

The most striking aspect of governance under Trumpism and MAGA is that, in practice, it is exclusively a politics of cultural grievance. But the left's purported excesses that fuel that grievance come not from Democratic policy or the party itself, but from cultural expressions outside politics.

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

This was never meant to provide shelter, it's to justify the further disenfranchisement of some of the most vulnerable in our community through enforcement and evictions. Councillors are not being consulted and costs for enforcement are unknown to date. A report should be public later this month.

“…when I hear the best minds of my generation rhapsodize about intelligence explosions while devoting their own prodigious intellects to ketamine binges, mixed martial arts, and Hellenistic fashion design, I can’t help but wonder whether more intelligence is really a good thing.”
