I'll let Kwame Ture explain it;

This actually helps, thank you

I’ll buy you a burger next time you’re in calgary.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Furthermore public transit teaches you how to live with temporary minor annoyances and cars teach you that you're god's most special baby and your moment-to-moment comfort is the only important thing in the world

Many Indian Chefs Want to Banish One Beloved Dish From Their Menus. Getting Rid of It Isn’t So Easy. How did such a “basic” stew become so controversial?

As restaurants serving Indian cuisines continue to become some of the hottest reservations across the country, I wrote for @slate.com about their uneasy relationship to butter chicken. Or really, their uneasy relationship to what butter chicken has come to represent. slate.com/life/2025/10...

Watching baseball this way does not feel pleasant. I want to barf.

I was still drinking the last time I had to care about October baseball.
So I’ve just been freebasing Jays baseball stress this year.

The real story that the legacy media refuse to tell is that this is classic liberal corruption and billionaire lobbying: Melanie Jolie's brother is the CEO of intelcom, and the Libs have been lobbied by UPS, Amazon, and Pittney Bowes during our negotiations. All the other reasons for cuts are bunk

Inside the Right-Wing Attack on Alberta's Public Education | The Tyee MAGA’s Project 2025 has become a blueprint for undermining Canada’s schools in the name of profit and privilege.

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.

When I go pro, Blood & Thunder will be my walkup.

Baseball fans, buy this book. And buy Andrew's other books too. He's a phenomenal author who writes about baseball like no other.

I bet if Rembrandt were alive today he’d be really sad he wasn’t picked to be a Ninja Turtle.

Watching They Live on the Criterion Channel, as nature intended.

Order some Scozzafava’s or some Alumni and watch baseball.

I'm just leaving this open and playing audio in a separate browser tab. At some point MF Doom is going to start rapping over it.

This is the future of mainstream media and if you don't like it, you need to build yourself your own media list of independents.
