Woof. -
I know it's bad to the degree that it involves human and animal suffering, but I'm obsessed about old newspaper articles about wild boars tormenting villagers and rampaging around.Can any #Javanese person on here explain why the pig is called Widjoeng (wijung)? Or what's meant there? Google & dictionary searches are not helping.

Can't stop them 🫣I found this snippet from my old files but I didn't document well where it came from except that it was from 1918. From some #Malay newspaper from #Java, it's about boars on a rampage.

I sense a few more shoes will drop along this line....#BCPoli #CanPoli #CdnPoli #BCElexn2024https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/alexandra-wright-bc-conservatives-1.7321951@chris jilted/dropped candidates situation is always messy but this feels particularly messy. the viciousness of the BCC people, the egos on both sides, the way so many had their campaign ended without warning or consent. I hate both parties but putting that aside it's such a cynical way to grab for power (in that last part, I'm partly thinking of the BCC people but partly whatever wealthy donors/machers influenced the forced merger)

brutal stepdown for a party that was in power only a few years ago.a followup interview Rustad gave today taking phone calls.
-Still climate change denier; uses former Green Party sellout Andrew Weaver's "talks" with them as a fig leaf
-Still talking "do your own research online" nonsense about anti-SOGI/transphobic grooming conspiracies
-Spouting misinfo about carbon tax ala Pierre Poilievre saying people are being taxed because of the weather

brutal stepdown for a party that was in power only a few years ago.missed this press conference yesterday. woof. grimly endorsing someone who till recently he was calling a conspiracy theorist. a guy who openly has contempt for him. what kind of meeting did he have with who

rural and suburban BC isn't looking for more greasy used car salesman types they want full on fascists in their "right of centre" party. and plenty of former BC United were happy to jump ship and get on board.

posted by a #Yiddishist acquaintance on FB, apparently the linguist Max Weinreich had a special #Yiddish typeface with a ligature in the tsvey vovn װI'm on the fence if it's more legible or not. but interesting!@riley very cool, love this kind of stuff. also "Underwood Semitic" from the link above as I understand it if you live in the right area (Eastern US) Yiddish keyboards are not as hard to get as that post implies, I've seen people who went and asked and got them for free. maybe they were lucky
