who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

It’d be pretty cool if aspirational masculinity was just like. Being a gentle, funny dad and a loving partner and having jumper cables and a lug wrench on hand and maybe learning how to build and paint sets for school plays instead of being a sentient crypto ham hock with a creatine addiction

the way some people openly fantasize about AI taking over the parts of complex interactions and creative expression that make humans unique in this universe is grim
but on the other hand it provides a good litmus test of who still uses their brain

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!
Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

Today on the blog I wrote up my reactions to the recent yougov poll asking Americans what they know about medieval history. (TL/DR more than they used to, less than I'd like. I am medium mad.)

seeing americans give a shit about canadian politics for the first time mostly ever is WILD
Me, 4 hours ago: Oh jeez I forgot Canada's elections were tonight
Me, 10 minutes ago: *Long cigarette drag* Well you see the history of Polliviere's riding means that with 115 of the 266 polls reporting and Fanjoy up by nearly 7% it's a statistical unlikelihood for a comeback

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats.
