Here’s something for the people. I await commenters complaining that this just can’t reach out to the people like that Joan Baez. Now there was a singer for the revolution! And so nice too! Share

In highly relevant to LGM news, my father told me that Trent Richardson made his debut for the Saskatchewan Roughriders this week. He was pretty good, getting 52 yards in 9 carries. I hope he does well. Although it was sometimes misread, I never had anything against Richardson — when I invoked “Trent Richardson” I […]
It’s not often that essays are published that combine socialism with forest policy, so I may be legally obligated to comment on this Jacobin essay by a British Columbia firefighter on capitalism
