For 300 years the English government in Ireland tried to make it illegal for an Irish family to spend the summer with its cows. The practice was called booleying. Every May the household left the winter village and walked the herd up into the hills, to a cluster of huts on the summer pasture, and lived there until October. Grandparents, children, the lot. The men came and went. The women ran the booley, and the booley ran on milk: fresh, soured, curdled, buttered, and eaten as the day's meals. The grass was free because it was up a mountain, and a family that owned 8 cows and a mountain wanted for nothing until the frost. The English could not stand it. A people that walked away every summer could not be counted, tithed or made to plough. The Statute of Kilkenny, 1366, forbade the Irish to booley their cattle on any land held by the English, and licensed the English to seize the herd if they did. By 1612 the King's attorney general in Dublin could report that it had been made penal for an Englishman even to allow it. Edmund Spenser, who had been handed 3,000 acres of confiscated Cork, wrote a whole pamphlet on what was wrong with Ireland, and this was near the top of it. Living out with the herd, he said, taught the Irish to be wild and to feed themselves without a master. That was the objection, in his own words. Booleying was outlawed because it worked. The remedy, over the next century, was to take the hills, fence the grass, put the family on a rented acre in the valley, and hand it a potato. The last booleys in Ireland were still walked up the hills of Achill in the 1940s, by people who had been told for 600 years that their summers were a crime.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell @jvplive) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same @Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I am always struck by how little attention the threat of these white supremacists have on Canada from the politics and media establishments

The principal threats to peace and security in the Middle East right now are obviously the US and Israel which launched an illegal war on Iran and created the Strait of Hormuz crisis - also Israel which has bombed multiple countries in the region over the past year

*whispers* remember the @propublica reporting about Putin-allied Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev funding Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding? that's a sports story, too. new @pablofindsout with @katienolan and @CruzKayne: piped.video/E5F9NuLxZfw?si=NK1V…

And yet the perpetrator was neither a leftist nor a Muslim or an immigrant or whoever the usual suspect is this time There’s an effort to avert blame from right-wing, incel white guys to spread it to communities and political groups who aren’t perpetrators of antisemitic violence

I started fact-checking Donald Trump 10 years ago this month. Here are 15 thoughts on the nature of his lying, how it is received by the public and how it is covered by the media: cnn.com/2026/09/27/politics/…

The “crisis” is that workers aren’t being paid a proper real wage. And if you break it down by gender it’s even worse, by race even worse. I have already written, over a year ago, about this government being one of the ruling class here to turn this country into Canada Inc

It's important to learn math not because you may need to do long division as an adult, but because it promotes rigorous thinking. IMO, history and causal inference are among the most important subjects a young person can study — math being central to the second. A significant problem in public discourse right now is people's inability to critically evaluate causal claims (e.g., vaccines cause autism, deporting immigrants will solve the housing crisis, etc.). The less able people are to critically evaluate causal claims, the worse our democracy functions because people can be preyed upon for votes. You should promote anything that improves rigorous thinking, even if it doesn't have market value. In fact, we should stop thinking of education only in the context of what improves the economy. IMO, this is distinct from knowing your own address (which Huang can avoid because he's wealthy). Memorizing facts like this may or may not be important, but it's distinct from rigorous thinking.
