“And I would like to be able to love my country all while loving justice. I don’t want just any greatness for my country if such is to come from blood and falsehood. It’s through upholding justice that I want my country to flourish.” You said to me, “Well, you don’t love your country.”

The best summary of this thinking, and the inevitability of authoritarian defeat to liberalism I've yet encountered was, unsurprisingly, written 82 years ago.

Camus' Letters to a German Friend, a Warning for Our Times

In the midst of WWII, Albert Camus wrote 4 letters to a fictitious German. Here is the first, predicting the triumph of truth over falsehood.

Our beloved cat Rosa died in May at the age of 22. We dearly miss her and don’t want to get another cat. Luckily we have a neighbourhood cat named Simon who loves to come over and hang out for a few hours a day, including snuggle time.

RIP Tim Cook. A huge loss for the Canadian history community. Undoubtedly the best Canadian military historian of his generation.

He was also an incredibly kind and generous person, who was encouraging to me in the early part of my academic career.

The US government is at war with the American people.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

I am the consummate car guy. I dedicated my life to creating and adoring them. But I have also learned that life is better when you don’t need one. I’d rather take the bike and/or the train and I love living in a walkable city. It’s not about “taking away your car”, it’s about giving you a choice.

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

Residential schools denialism has consequences.

The deplorable LS shamelessly uses her pregnancy and young children to elicit sympathy while denying the harms that Indigenous children experienced.

"More to come" suggests that she's currently strategizing about how to turn this into a grift.

I’m heartened by the fact that even high ranking military officials including the hawkish ones don’t appear to like Trump or Cringey Pete

My 5th year BEd students were talking about learning resources for teaching about Residential Schools and one student brought up Gord Downie and the Chanie Wenjack resources. I was amazed that only one student knew about Gord Downie or the Tragically Hip.

I'm officially old.

In her interminable quest for attention, Lindsay Shepherd continues to be a blight on Canadian society and espouse vile, malicious views, in this case residential schools denialism. She should be fired. Free speech does not equal speech without consequences.

Nice to see the Americans getting absolutely smoked by the Europeans in the #RyderCup.

American exceptionalism indeed. Exceptionally terrible performance.
