Something amazing just happened, and it didn't make a single headline.
— Muhammad Lila (@MuhammadLila) January 18, 2020
It happened in a place you've probably never been, to a family you've never met
And it's the best story you'll read.
A Thread.
(Hint: It involves sports, refugees, and what it means to be Canadian.)








Kaus laments the endless massaging of our information streams.
We all know what he's talking about.`

The big money in Silicon Valley doesn't think this is a big deal.
But it's manifesting itself in some annoying ways, as well as the portentous ones.
Like, how about some new actors? If you told me there'd be no more Scorsese movies, I'd say 'Okay.'

A man left at home with the kids might think he's been knocked down, but revenge is available through a remarkable smartphone app.

Why didn’t Yaman go to Israel? It’s much closer to Syria than Canada.
Amy you should really think twice about this. I hate the alt right. I’m Jewish. I don't like antisemitism or racism but it’s really hard to ignore that the alt right has a point when it claims Jews promote diversity and multiculturalism in white countries and ethnonationalism in Israel
I mean can we stop doing shit like this:

Your Jewish Amy. Can you try to imagine how you would feel if a non Jew moved to Israel and then kept trying to turn Israel into a minority Jewish society?
Please stop. You Cathy Young, and Bari Weiss act just like alt right parodies of Jews. People notice. They don’t speak out because of fear of social ostracism and losing their income but they notice. Resentment and anti Semitism are simmering under the surface. You probably hate me for writing this but I’m warning you. Something bad is coming our way. You can actually help stop it if you stop the double standard: nationalism for everyone or diversity for everyone. This diversity for whites but nationalism for Israel shit will get us a second Holocaust or another expulsion.

S.C., I suppose you've seen this? (The photo in B&W, I mean.)

"Russia seeks to increase birth rate"
http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?2,434209
From Yurble:
"I don't know why governments can't just accept the fact that people are going to have fewer kids, and automation will replace many careers anyway, so that's no bad thing. They could start adjusting economic models to reality instead of the idea of perpetual growth, which was always a fantasy. And they could start addressing some of the problems that make people who would otherwise reproduce not want to. But no, it's always a short-sighted campaign to guilt or bribe people into breeding..."
(Quote from the BBC): "Welfare benefits (in Russia) will also be paid for children aged three to seven in low-income families, and free school meals will be provided for the first four years of school."
Yurble: "You know where you can get all that kind of stuff and more? Western Europe. You know where women aren't reproducing more? Also western Europe. Once women have other options, they tend to have no or fewer kids. The countries with the highest fertility rates are those where women have limited rights and education, and they don't need any bribes to do it. The higher the quality of life, the less appealing reproduction looks."

See, the thing about the university elites is their moral and ethical superiority over the grunting troglodyte deplorables.
Case in point: Drexler University Professor blows $189,000 in grant money on strippers 'n fun.
A deplorable would've simply wasted that money.
