I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

tv chef "as we all know French cooking is the height of luxury"

a French peasant to his hungry family, 200 years ago:

"the chicken livers were free, no one wanted them. so I boiled them and some onion scraps until it was a paste. I'm calling it 'paté'. now stop crying and eat your dinner."

fuck right off with this too please.

Chomsky has been quite clear that he doesn’t think his relationship with Epstein is anyone else’s business and we can and should draw adverse inferences from that.

sorry he wrote some things you liked; bold thinkers can be monsters too.
Noam Chomsky’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein display none of the fawning chatter found from, say, Larry Summers. And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us
Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

I was one of these guys and what I watched happen was that a handful of tech companies took the work of all those free software evangelists and built trillion dollar monopolies on top of it while the free software creators got nothing and went broke.

Me to me
Can’t find a way to write this that doesn’t sound like a twee bromide but genuinely, if your end of year review is that you survived painful things happening in your life & the world, stayed empathetic in an inhospitable environment & treated yourself & others decently then that’s achievement enough
