living in montreal was a dream for walking. It's such a compact city, and public transit is really good in comparison to other places I've lived.

I think it depends on which country you're in. Some have legally protected "dietician" and some "nutritionist". Can't remember which.

in hospital in Canada the people I talked to were dieticians, but I always think of nutritionists being the non-quacks for some reason.

love it when they assume "heritable" is always genetic.

i've become convinced that the flimsy justification for modern day race science pretty much hinges entirely on that particular definition of heritable, in spite of the entire field of biology operating with a different definition

get that OUT of my face posted:

but in another sense, oppression isn't a game where you can claim the least amount of privilege, and that tweet feeds into class-blind idpol thought

the accusations of class-only analysis gets thrown around at anything remotely left-wing but I can't honestly remember the last time anyone's only engaged in class-based analysis that ignores other social dynamics and identities at work. I guess if it worked in the 60s when marxist theory was all the rage in academia, it'll work now when no one wants to think about class because then they'd have to acknowledge their own privilege and you can't do that in this game.

I'm perfectly ok with people studying humour as a part of anthropology but it is 100% the least funny thing to study.

stewart lee's radio documentary about the Pueblo clowns is a better meditation on transgressive humour in different cultural contexts than anything these dumbasses could come up with

the worst thing about twitter is that it encourages the most confrontational sort of interactions. there is a valid critique to be made of the song ignoring colonialism. but within the context of guthrie's career it seems like a bad faith interpretation to say that's the intent of the song rather than a probably unforeseen implication. it was written in the context of millions of people being displaced from the great plains and mass consolidation of farmland, so even for white people the myth of all that free land was pretty thoroughly killed at that point, as a bunch of the settler families were now just poor migrant workers.

if guthrie was alive today, or even still around for AIM's activities at Wounded Knee or Alcatraz, he'd probably add in something about the theft of the land originally.

the pro-slavery part is bullshit tho

twitter is the death of context

There was a futurist movement in the ussr, but it deviated significantly from Italy's. In practice, soviet futurists tended to align itself with closer to constructivism. Less focused on machines and war, Soviet futurists opted to center dynamism of movement.

The good news. This meant that none of the soviet futurists, to my knowledge, were publicly fascists.

The bad news. Turns out to get the futurism we know and love requires a core of violent insanity. Which the soviets lacked. You don't get hot takes, such as "abolish musuems", "eating pasta is effete", or "kill everyone over 30" from people who center their worldview in materialism. Unfortunately

I'm too dumb and unfamiliar with futurism to make a really coherent point here but I feel there's some kind of irony in futurism emerging in previous generations and seemingly not the current one, unless you count silicon valley's techno-fetish libertarianism. "Easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism" etc.

it's pretty simple. much like how the memory of resistance in the second world war france would have us believe that every single French person was in the resistance, we've papered over the history of antisemtism in 20th century europe such that everyone thinks that jews as a whole were targeted from the start and not just those jews who had radical politics.

it's no coincidence that the perpetrator of the largest incident of antisemetic violence in the US in recent memory targeted a synagogue because of its politics

He talks about goodfellas but not how a lot of that book is lifted directly, or nearly, from Wiseguys, a large portion of which is transcripts of Henry Hill the real person talking about his life

Like the entire last act, from his last day in the mob to the closing monologue, is lifted almost verbatim from the book, especially the voiceover

So yeah, it is about being seduced by power and violence. Because that's what happened to Henry Hill

sounds like a v. problematic oral history

James Rice has a really good critique from a Native American history lens but it's a pretty great piece of American history even with that. I can't comment on how dry because I found the mortality charts riveting, I am not to be trusted on that front.

I was a 3rd year undergrad, if I re-read it after having gone through phd comps I'd probably also find it riveting. I should re-read it, honestly.
