This is just bollocks. When my dad and grandma faced the most disgusting racism in the 60s and 70s (more extreme than what would ever be considered mistreat today) migration was far lower and many Brits were facing plenty ‘inwards’

my theory at this point is that "third spaces" is the "kitchen table issues" of this mini-discourse. its a term that evokes diffuse associations without actually saying anything

I enjoyed the time a bunch of people with "insurrectionist anarchist; 19" in bio tried to explain to me, a trained urban planner, that i was "watering down the definition" of third space by pointing out cafés were literally listed as one of them in the title of the book that invented the term

There really ought to be a much larger social sanction on telling people to kill themselves or threatening harm on social media, and in a world full of anonymous accounts I think that should pretty uniformly mean a zero tolerance death penalty for accounts and an IP block.

As unprofessional as it may be, I suspect I will be shouting "we have been saying this for years" a lot today. Harsher immigration policies don't just ruin individual lives, they damage the economy, reduce jobs, and generally harm the whole country.

People love threatening to murder people for legally riding bikes. Of course drivers regularly hit cyclists riding in painted bike lanes or shoulders. It's almost like motorists don't need any excuse to inflict violence upon bicyclists.

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.

whenever people say “cancel culture isn’t real, it’s just facing the consequences of your actions” I think about all the people who were the target of the internet’s hate for things they didn’t do, or for things that had much more nuance. it can ruin lives, over things that often do not matter

Others will have their say about this, but I think it’s worth pointing out that this - or laundered versions of it - are accepted wisdom amongst a big chunk of our political and media classes and it is simply bad for society when the elites have little or no understanding of *the systems they run*

Ottawa has warned the Quebec government against the possibility of US interference in the current election campaign, which is aimed at favouring the election of a sovereignist government.

At the beginning of September, a senior official in the Fréchette government received a call from a counterpart in the Mark Carney government, we have learned.

He was offered the option of going to a "neutral location, where there were no cameras", and was forbidden from bringing his cell phone.
