#sociology #socialtheory #academicsky Alt text was altered slightly from the abstract to get it to fit. Oh, & the title: "The methodological stagnation of sociology is related to its left-wing skew." I haven't read it, so I cannot speak to the quality of the work, but its a very "New T&S" title.

I want to read this, and I really don't want to read this. After the semester ends, we'll see. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

It's kind of wild how Carney is working overtime to double down on tying Canadian growth to an energy source that's guaranteed to tank this century.

the tip of the spear

Among other reasons, I am fine with the party that created a very bad piece of legislation to be terrorized by that very piece of legislation. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH

uh why is bookshop recommending noam chomsky in its holiday gift email list has nobody in their marketing dept read the news lately

I am very curious what this looks like in Canada. As with most things, I assume a similar but less pronounced trend than the US.

Amazing.

Showed up in my memories today. One of my better OC memes.

Miles Bron is an idiot.

Post a movie that takes place where you're from. (I couldda gone with Dirty Dancing, but this was actually filmed nearby) 64.media.tumblr.com/86a6225e976e...

This is fun...

Paul Tillich said, "Never consider the secular realm Godless just because it does not speak of God." I would add: Never consider the religious realm holy because it speaks easily of God.

Overthrow the Canadian ruling class

I was in a car for just under 4 hours today. That was probably good.

Still mulling this one over eugenerschlesinger.substack.com/p/the-only-a...

NO EXCUSES. THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE. YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY ***RIGHT NOW*** BY THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT. IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND. McDougall Centre from 5-7 pm. it's time to STAND UP or get rolled over #NotwithstandingClause #CharterRightsAndFreedoms #yyc #abpoli #ableg

though I won’t say it is good, my depression doesn’t erode my faith. My bitterness and sense of disappointment are the corrosives.

I find this depressing.

I wish I had a Christian leftie hymnal.

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there: www.404media.co/two-weeks-of...

IDEA: A Hallmark Christmas movie about an Alberta premier who refuses to be photographed with Santa unless he's seated, titled 'Notwithstanding Claus'.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I just watched the whole video, and not a single reporter stood up for her. Everyone just pivoted to asking questions on other topics. This is shameful.

What The Progress Report Said. Also, they should have been planning & organizing for this inevitable moment years ago, like @robertalexier.bsky.social suggested.

Sigh No church should ever use “take me to church” in a video montage

Bill Donohue has been awful for decades, and is not stopping.

I find the juxtaposition of these frustrating, in part because it is not surprising. Here's #1: bsky.app/profile/tayl...

My “I am not a malformed creep who groomed a child for years and then abducted her to my secret dungeon, I’m just a misunderstood tragic romantic” playlist is raising a lot of questions already answered by my playlist.

I hated Bill Clinton when I was a deeply conservative Charismatic Catholic child. I hated Bill Clinton when I was a relatively conservative adult. Now that I'm a radical left lunatic, I still hate that philandering cad Bill Clinton and if he's in the files, he needs to go to jail.

I do so love when people who claim to be hardcore progressives and NDP loyalists also post pictures of Carney with a kitten.

bluesky mods have fucking lost it
