Sort of feels like one of the many axes on which society oscillates is cocaine vs heroin. When I was a kid, cocaine was the big bad. For the past 20 years it’s been heroin/opiates. Looks like coke’s making a comeback.

Cocaine has made a roaring comeback, and it's having some big negative effects in the U.S. and around the world. n.pr/4rSgD0R

If anything, we should be allowing universities to recoup that dreadful 10% tuition cut for those who can pay, and eliminating tuition on a means-test basis. Instead, Ford's cuts to OSAP supports will only make things worse for students, while the 2% escalator will keep university budgets strangled.

Half of all university students graduate with zero debt. The student population is disproportionately upper and upper-middle class. Tuition subsidies are inherently regressive. And yet student and faculty organizations continue to support a policy that does but one thing: damage quality.

We live in a political context where maintaining programs, class sizes *and* 'free tuition' are impossible. The best system is one where those who can afford to pay do, and those who can't have the costs covered for them. The Ford government has failed spectacularly at both goals.

No, you pay a small fraction of the true costs because tuition has been kept artificially low, at what has become a real cost to the quality of education. Cost of living dwarfs tuition as an obstacle to access post-sec ed. www.ctvnews.ca/london/artic...

This has been my hunch for a while, but it's good to have it confirmed.
As I've noted before, Obama faced the same challenge with race that JFK did with religion. Their enemies were so primed to charge them with playing favorites they felt the need to downplay a topic closely tied to them.

I'm not gonna do the whole rant again but if your only goal was a selfish desire to never be asked for change at an intersection the cheapest way to achieve that is also the most humane way. We choose not to do it because our society is addicted to punishing individuals for structural problems.

Great piece from @dsquareddigest.bsky.social, which touches on one of the big theories for why English-speaking countries do especially badly at housebuilding:
Adversarial and litigious common law systems (Anglo) vs judge-led civil law systems elsewhere.

Biden was the most economically progressive president since LBJ at least, he pursued a full-employment economy at huge political risk, it worked spectacularly.
And what happened is that the entire progressive universe decided that he must not have done any of it, or else he would have been popular

A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.

It's also worth remembering that this narrative is Nazi in a way that actually pre-dates the Holocaust.
Hitler rose to power telling a story of a Germany shackled by guilt and shame (and of course the material concessions fallout) from WWI

This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

This is such a punk ass move by Tom Wilson, who got buried by Crinon before they were pulled apart by the refs, and then jumps Crinon for the second time WHILE CRINON HAS TWO REFS RESTRAINING HIM

Well, this headline and framing rather buries the lede. It's not that two Latvians in the stands held up the flag of Greenland at a US vs Denmark match, in an arena full of US flags. It's that security told them to quit it for "safety reasons, because there could be American aggressive people."
