That red card was karmic realignment for the "offside" against Nigeria in 2014.

In Bosnian we don't say "Down in front!" we say "Nije ti ćaća staklar (Your daddy ain't a glazier)" and I think that's beautiful.

are fight scenes in stories really necessary? everything i need to know can just be said later by a character who watched it all, so i think not

That can't possibly be racist in English, Italians (famously non-racist English speakers) use it.

If I see you using Koran I usually just go ahead and assume that you also use Moslem, or failing that, Mussulman.

I created a spell in the new @anisota.net to facilitate a write-only mode and it worked so well that I currently can't reverse it. This release really turned the corner from potential to actual.

TV time out ("hydration break") is worse than vuvuzelas, golden goal and the goofy way MLS did PKs in its early years combined.

The advances in cancer have been so fast that if you’re a doctor who doesn’t specialize in cancer, you simply can’t keep up. There are cancers that I learned are incurable in med school (‘98-2002) that are now cured or managed as long-term issues. Insane levels of ignorance from Peter Thiel 😳

im pretty far on the anti-AI and LLM end of the spectrum, but you have to constantly think critically and reassert your reasons *why* you oppose it, otherwise you end up taking positions like "it's good to manually complete tasks which could be automated and doing avoidable work is virtuous"

This is how I met my foot-long hero.

I've been intentionally increasing my usage of this word at work and with my child for this specific reason. We need more stewards. Be a steward!

I dreamt a dream of seeing Canada play a World Cup game at home. The day was close to perfection. If I had the $$ I’d be heading out to Vancouver to soak it in again

Fascist politics and capitalist economics are self-reinforcing, in that being systematically priced out of your basic needs tends to make people meaner and more reactionary, and more amenable to fascist policy. There’s no way to free market your way out of the fascist death spiral.

We need to adopt a "git gud" mentality to reading and critical thinking. People should be ridiculed for bad logic, not for bad Mario Kart technique.

I drove past a guy in a London Calling shirt crossing the street and what I should have said was "His name was Joe Strummer not Jay Walker"

When you hate AI so much that you're actively helping theocrats erode pluralism.

im sick of romanticizing the 90s. it was a fucking nightmare. kids were drinking capri suns and turning into liquid metal abominations left and right. thousands of children were alex macked

surest bet in music is if you’re listening to some bebop and the bandleader says “Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. And now we’d like to play an original composition,” your consciousness is about to get permanently expanded

There is, allegedly, a gorgeous series involving Miyazaki and Sherlock Holmes and dogs, and I've never heard of it before.

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

Part of my affinity for anarchism has always been that it operates like science: It delves for radical transhistorical facts (eg domination is bad) and progressively works out more and more theoretical conclusions (feminism, animal lib etc), ending debates and narrowing the space of pluralism.

I've been working on that bands live list, but I am limiting it to rooms with <1k capacity because it's not the same. Also very Toronto-centric bc ofc. Yamantaka // Sonic Titan METZ Hayden AFI The Deadly Snakes Against Me! Voodoo Glow Skulls Broken Social Scene Dillinger Four Braid

Me: i’m Autistic Them: Oh you take things literally Me: No that’s kleptomania

I'm sure everyone's heard about the Bosnian tattoos by now. I explored the story for the @newlinesmag.bsky.social, and if you’re curious about Ottoman Bosnia, Catholic women, and the stakes of turning complicated histories into myths, take a look: newlinesmag.com/essays/the-o...

How much do you know about the history of fascism in Canada? In my latest for Canada's History Magazine, I detail the history of fascist movements, what fed them and how they were sidelined. www.canadashistory.ca/explore/poli...

In other muni election news, Chiara Padovani, who came a VERY close second to Councillor Frances Nunziata in 2022 — she lost by 94 votes — , says she’ll be “among the first in line” to register to run in York-South Weston tomorrow morning.

the nice thing about being 43 with chronic back pain and grey hair is that at any given moment, on any given day, you are also 1000 years old

There has to be language around the joy of parenting. Yes it is absolutely the hardest thing i have ever done (and i didn't even have to grow them in my body.) But it also the thing that has taught me the most. It is the thing that has filled my heart the most. But the language is insufficient.

Once I finish reading this thrift store find, I will become unimaginably powerful
