Today is another excellent day to keep your ignorant views to yourself.

Wherein I somehow persuade the Washington Post to print my pet theory that Quebecers treat Canada the way most people treat their insurance company...

For @Harpers I wrote about the Trump-era Hannah Arendt craze and why it made no sense.

Cuba wrote a one-party system based on a totalitarian ideology into its freakin' constitution and people still want to both-sides discussions about it.

There's no relativizing Nazi evil.

That's how it should be.

There is no room for "on the one hand, on the other hand" when you're faced with stuff like this.

Everyone sane knows this.

Marxism-Leninism should be treated the same way.

There's a parallel universe somewhere where Peru's Nazi movement took power in the late 1950s and never let it go.

It still rounds up dissidents and burns books.

American progressives are horrified by it all, while half the U.S. right minimizes and deflects criticism.

@iamjosephmullen @elopezgross Take two swapping Nazi and Communist in that headline and call me in the morning.

Un mini centre-ville est en train d'apparaître dans le nord de l'Île-des-Soeurs, avec ses tours, ses parcs et son belvédère sur le pont Champlain. Quand même étonnant! On en fait le tour ici:

@VinodSreeharsha @goescarlos Gravity trade models have made it clear for years that smaller economies nearly always have a greater proportion of trade than larger ones

My crystal ball shows a doctoral dispararon circa 2046 looking at the way excess mortality among GOP voters affected various 2022 race outcomes.

Entrevue donnée à La Presse+. Bien heureux d'avoir attiré l'attention sur la multiplication des portes de garage peintes à #Montréal. Un domaine dans lequel notre ville pourrait se démarquer grâce à ses 4300 ruelles remplies de portes pouvant être peintes!

@TechOfGospel @robcovingtonjr Oh trust me we can work up white-hot rage for apologists for the Cuban regime of *any* race.

[F.P. Toro @fp_toro]

@robcovingtonjr @AmandiOnAir Thing is, there are zillions of things I don't understand with nuance, context, history or facts about on the ground realities.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T PUT OUT STATEMENTS ABOUT THEM!!!!

(How is this hard!?)

It remains absolutely wild when the folks you start following on here for good football banter end up being the folks who you’re now also following for philosophy.
