Growing up in a village where lots of dudes were called John you can fix that by adding unique nicknames

Made a pot of borscht the other night and it’s full of tasty cabbage. Like I get people being mad about declining living standards but they shouldn’t take it out on cabbage

I once clicked on a cabbage recipe and my algorithms have been flooded by German cooks claiming ”it’s better than pizza”. Currently have a head on my counter partly eaten.

Also it strongly implies they were all militant hotties. Several months later Fanny would be machine gunning down a fascist column and putting them to flight

Rukeyser's German friend - and, soon, never-to-be-forgotten lover - Otto Boch, and the Swiss and Hungarian athletes on her train were coming to take part in an event which was due to start that same Sunday afternoon, with a ceremony welcoming 6,000 athletes at the hilltop Montjuic stadium. A British team had been assembled and was staying in a hotel in the portside Barrio Chino, the infamous red-light district. Nat Cohen and Sam Masters, two East End Londoners from the Clarion Cycling Club (their wittily ironic motto: We have nothing to lose but our chains'), were pedalling across France to join the spectators. In the city itself, idealistic young men and women had been drawn into organising the games, including a handful of foreigners.
One of the most striking was the tall, hard-smoking twenty-four-year-old Dutch freelance journalist Fanny Schoonheyt. Spanish volunteers were amazed by the towering blonde Schoonheyt, who seemed to them like some Nordic screen siren.

This book on the International Brigades seems to suggest that a lot of the volunteers were bike sickos

My favourite thing about the game is that for humanity’s canonically good future Alberta will become a crater, and I’m willing to make that sacrifice

In 2001, Alberta got 80% of its electricity from coal.

In 2015, the province announced coal power would be phased out by 2030.

In 2024, the last coal plant shut down, six years ahead of schedule.

In 2025, Alberta's premier is musing about bringing coal power back.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The American people actually do want this stuff, otherwise foreign troll farms would not be successful. If anything, the US exports its political derangements on everyone else
