Watching David Attenborough’s pre historic planet and Fabian Hurzeler makes an appearance

it's not your right to quiet the world. you as a human being are obligated to be in the world with other people even if that sucks shit sometimes. my neighbors listen to loud music and sometimes it's annoying but i also feel safe knowing my neighbors are okay and that if i need them they're there

Erin Maglaque Β· Never Known Heaven: Caravaggio’s Clothes Clothing, for Caravaggio, worked in the same way as his chiaroscuro, dramatising disclosure and reticence, attraction...

β€˜Caravaggio refused to sentimentalise sex, just as he refused to sentimentalise faith. He painted the surrender involved in both, if you’re doing it right.’

1010 & TVO framed Tory misconduct as an affair. FTR he had a secret romance with a junior staffer who reported to him. He helped get her a job at Rogers-owned MLSE in a role dealing with him & his office on issues involving public funds. He then voted at city council on an issue she handled at MLSE

Mayor Chow, Councillor Bravo, and Chief Planner Thorne came by to give Finch their business license. Surreal, delightful, lovely.

Canada created more jobs in 2025 (! year of the economic attack!) than the U.S., tho the U.S. job market is 7.5 times bigger.

"Health" generated 41% of the new jobs. "Care" (incl educ) almost 1/2.
Demographics guarantees that this job juggernaut will continue to dominate. Demand>supply everywhere.

i spent all summer organizing for dedicated transit lanes against typical toronto nimbys who claimed that "emergency vehicles would get stuck in traffic and more people would die"

anyways, here's real life:

Have to give it to Tottenham. With their North London neighbours single handedly ruining football, Spurs are playing a brand of football that is really entertaining everyone.

Hurzeler holds an American passport. Do with this knowledge what you will.

Football is mad. You spend most of ninety minutes feeling miserable and when the final whistle blows you experience pure unadulterated joy which lasts the rest of the day. Love it.

Sandra Schmirler crouches low on the curling ice, sliding forward while holding a broom in her right hand. She wears glasses and a white Team Canada jacket with red and black accents, along with black pants. Her left hand is extended toward the ice for balance, and she appears focused and animated. The blurred background shows the blue and white surface of a curling rink.

Sandra Schmirler was one of the greatest curlers in Canadian history.
She won Olympic gold, three World Championships and three Scotties.
Her legacy continues in the sport to this day.
This is the story of Schmirler the Curler.

Important to call lies out when there are lies. These are lies from a liar.

They will inevitably fail. I think our roads are too complicated for them especially because of the streetcar. But those things can and have murdered someone before and I really wish TO politicians would stop them before it gets to that.

You can tell that police don’t see themselves as civil servants or part of the greater community because they saw people enjoying a snow day and having fun, and their instinct was to put at end to it. Now after resistance to them, they’re moving to use their insane budget and resources to punish.

Caught Rexford Drive at the Horseshoe Tavern last night. Absolutely lovely. Also made me think about how blessed I am to live in a city where I can access something like this on a random Monday!

My latest video on Ford's "basket weaving" OSAP comment has reached the "Study whatever you want but don't expect the gov to pay you for it" crowd, and I don't think they grasp how desolate their lives would be if there was no art, no culture, no history. We can't have a society of only STEM majors.

A PLANNED CHILDHOOD
The Kindergarten was not only a good source of childcare, it was the first state institution of education that a child would visit. Seizing this early opportunity to convince the next generation of the joys of Socialism, the state ensured that more than 90 per cent of children were granted a place. The day was subject to rigid planning. Children were encouraged to do everything in the collective: playtime, meals and even the afternoon nap left no room for individual initiative. By Party logic, a good Socialist life in the community was more important than the development of individual abilities.

Just randomly remembered this description of kindergarten from the anti-communist DDR Museum in Berlin

CUPE Alberta calls for an election, says Smith’s referendum is a dangerous distraction from government’s mismanagement of public services CUPE Alberta is condemning Premier Danielle Smith’s announcement of an anti-immigrant referendum that seeks permission for her government to make it harder for Albertans to vote.

We don’t need to copy the worst parts of U.S. politics. Manufactured culture wars, anti-immigrant fearmongering, and violent oppression tear communities apart, just as we see south of the border. Our members and our communities deserve better. cupe.ca/cupe-alberta...
