Ok, I’m doing it…I’m creating a course on the “wellness/fitness culture to eugenics/fascism pipeline.”

But I’m worried our admin won’t allow it with words like eugenics and fascism in the title.

What can I title the class?

Absolute perfecta of a commute today. Within about 5 minutes I had: 1) car coming at me when it turned the wrong way onto a one-way street; 2) car blowing through a cold red; 3) car blowing a stop sign at full speed; 4) car speeding along the road next to the park/playground. Be better Vancouver!

Linear timeline chart for a grant competition in which the notice of decision (March 26 2026) is before the funding start date (January 1, 2026). I mean, I get it, and it probably should be linear, but still!

I love funding agency time. What good we could have done if we could have gone from March 26 back to Jan 1 this year.

My kids became big and we never saw one of these filled, I thought they were abandoned in the 80s 😕

Ok ok ok. I set up #Positron and bought some credits. Idea is to do the messy stuff in Rstudio but make clean packages and containers in positron. Will it work, or will I have two piles of messy stuff? Only time will tell...

Screenshot from the Exiles of the Golden Age twitter account. The second Exiles of the Golden Age conference will take place on Saturday, July 26th, in Vancouver, BC. It’s for those serious about rebuilding strength, culture, and brotherhood in an age that’s actively hostile to all three. The theme is physical culture and the formation of Männerbünde — disciplined groups of men forged through struggle, bonded by shared purpose, and committed to creating space for cultural renewal. The event will be introduced remotely by Mike Maxwell, author of the Cultured Thug and editor in chief of Imperium Press (@imperiumpress1 ) and will feature the following influential speakers: Marcus Follin (@TheGloriousLion ). Long-time YouTuber, blogger, and author of Dauntless and Demigod Mentality, Marcus has inspired a generation of men with his teachings on training in the temple of iron, martial arts, and reading great books. He’s a real-life Renaissance man: well-read, jacked, and eternally glorious. Paul Waggener (@opwwofficial ). A founding member of the Wolves of Vinland and creator of Operation Werewolf, Paul leads a global movement of total life reform. His program combines weight training, martial arts, and esoteric ritual to help individuals achieve their highest potential. Through his books, podcasts, and his Telegram channel, Waggener continues to inspire countless men and women. A true outlaw spirit, he lives beyond the boundaries of the “Empire of Nothing,” riding free and shooting straight. This conference will also feature live folk music by Folk & Fiddle, a speech by our very own Exile's organizer Lane Jackson, and a display of Norse and Germanic artifacts curated by Malcolm at (@Sagnamadr ). Buy tickets here, we look forward to seeing you — https://eotga.com

I once threatened to unsubscribe from HV so you'd keep having to teach and today you're not helping your cause

What Really Happened to Katica? A Tyee Investigation | The Tyee Did the police and coroner dismiss a homicide as an overdose?

In B.C., coroners are not required to have medical training, autopsies are rarely ordered for suspected overdoses, and pathologists often aren't doing further examinations of bodies away from the scene. That's leading to concerns the system may be missing homicides. thetyee.ca/News/2025/07...

Mr. Dahmer often obeyed the law, including paying for purchases at stores ("grocery" shopping), and driving for the most part on well-marked public roads.

Thanks, will try!

Does it work with regular ggplot themes? I'll play with it soon, hope to recommend it to the trainees in my department

I, too, think that expecting people to use the mechahitler place is bad

Yikes
maybe @pwaldkirch.bsky.social can work on the "don't eat your kids (even if you're underhoused)(but a bigger place would still be nice)" polka, for a future meeting

The fuck?? They think the "crowding" is living in tall buildings, not people being underhoused and having to live in places with more people than bedrooms?

A 30km/h road sign in Vancouver.

As it's a staff recommendation, it's much more likely to pass. It's a huge deal! It will lower speeds in residential neighbourhoods to 30km/h, and make it easier to install speed bumps. Please, if you can, also write in to support this!

How many crashes did you witness while you were in that neighborhood 👀

America's (not-so) secret police The budget bill unleashes a detention system that threatens every American.

I wrote about the budget bill, police-state measures intensifying, Himmler's defense of camps, the dangers of mirroring Putin's Rosgvardia, Trump's wish for a multistate network of concentration camps, and a long list of things you can do right now to fight ICE.

Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper

Speaking of labyrinthine contortions, though, here's a little thread of some of my favourite viz over the years.
