I know the Toronto is a cesspool takes are suburban scaredy cats. Cause in real life I see people taking their kids to the park, dining out at nice restaurants, going to local shows and riding the TTC daily.

Oh, please. Take your sweet fucking time.
"'Naza' may not change many minds in Israel. But could it be a wake-up call to the Jewish diaspora, forcing us to reckon with the fact that 'never again' means never again for everyone? Will the film help Jewish people worldwide reconsider their entrenched position of perceived victimhood? Abraham and Szor hope so." vanityfair.visitlink.me/IWCU…

Honoured to have had the chance to translate Osama Diab’s incredible work on the disastrous impact of monoculture farming on Egyptian land & labor power at the dawn of capitalism as the global mode of production. Read here 👇🏻
Industrial capitalism, organized around global value chains, was only taking its first steps when David Ricardo developed his ideas in 1817. – Osama Diab / Cotton Specters mronline.org/2026/09/25/cott…

the wonderful thing about posting abt the literacy crisis is that you can simply accuse anyone who disagrees with your post of being illiterate. It's an elegant system

Toronto’s tap water is clean, safe to drink, affordable and environmentally friendly. In late summer and early fall, you may notice an earthy or musty taste or smell in your tap water. Don’t worry - this can happen due to naturally-occurring algae and high water temperatures in Lake Ontario. Although the taste or smell may change, the water remains safe to drink. If you’re sensitive to the smell or taste, try filling a pitcher with water and letting it stand overnight in the refrigerator or adding ice and a slice of lemon, lime or other fruit to your water.

Theweleit on the fascist conception of “high” culture or education (ie, Bildung). To stand erect, to idealize, to rationalize away and conquer all that is potentially feminine (the earth, the body, feeling, pleasure). A fundamentally defensive posture.

אַ פרוווּ איבערצוזעצן אויף העברעיִש ומשוררים מתים. הם הולכים להצטרף לחול ולא ממציאים את הדשא, ולא מדביקים את הרוח. נשותיהם נשארות – שירים שלא נשלמו, בלי התחלה, בלי סוף. מתים משוררים. הפנים המאובנות, שלהם, חותמים צוואה נשגבת להרים והעיניים הנעולות מרתקות את העמקים.

Generally liked this, and liked the ambivalence of it. But strange how translations get equally put into a "can we contact the heir and reprint it fast & cheap" model. Have spent years finding a home for old authors and making the work exist in English. nplusonemag.com/issue-54/the…
