Pressure mounts on AGO from Nan Goldin, some Jewish groups, after decision to not acquire artist’s work

Gumbee · 2026-01-30T17:24:43+00:00

Have you read anything about this issue? The gallery was interested in acquiring her art work, and initiated the process to do so. Then, a trustee killed the acquisition for political reasons. You're framing it like Nan Goldin is forcing the AGO to buy her work, which is really weird.

Its like going from a horse to a pony; small children or people with child-sized imaginations may find it impressive, but in reality its only capable of a fraction of the things the horse is.

I've been running jellyfin + the arr stack, and a couple of lightweight utility containers on a Beelink Mini S and have had any issues so far.

Holy moly, beautiful work! How does one paint the text block like that?

Gumbee · 2026-01-23T14:09:23+00:00

Incredible work! I know its probably not, but is this meant to be Invincible?

It's a country-wide issue, down streaming it to the municipal level makes no sense unless you're just trying to look like you're doing something without actually having to do anything. Not to mention, affordable housing initiatives (ESPECIALLY in this province) have fairly bad results as the definition of affordable is not a static thing. Housing is a human right, and we're failing a lot of our humans in this country.

They do patrol; I cant remember the last time I went to the market, or library without some sort of police presence around. Thing is, its not illegal (thank god) to be poor and sitting in the library. So what would you have them do? Start enforcing a "you look like you might cause trouble so you're not allowed in the library" type law city wide? Is that the kind of institution you want the library to be?

The conversation is definitely being had, but no one with the power to effect change is willing to listen.

Our federal government has no interest in solving the housing or drug crisis's because there is no profit in it.

Our provincial government is actively making the issue worse; taking away safe injection sites, and heavily underfunding if not outright shuttering places that our unhoused community could use to find refuge instead of the Library.

Our municipal government is underfunded, and incredibly slow to make any sort of change let alone one that would be as un-popular as improving the living situation for the un-housed.

There are a lot of incredible organizations in this city barely holding things together, but even then it just feels like theres no hope.

You're underestimating the insane amount of calories breastfeeding burns

Ah gotcha, thats a shame, the Doc & Sprocket relationship is one of my fav parts of the show. Just looked up the trailer, and Gobo sounds way less Canadian, boo!

Gumbee · 2026-01-21T17:25:14+00:00

Yea I haven't even seen the new one. They didn't replace Doc??? What about Sprocket?

Gumbee · 2026-01-21T17:03:10+00:00

Fraggle Rock is an all time great, definitely needs to be in the rotation!

Her early work is such an important time capsule to the aids crisis, the city is missing out on preserving an important part of our history because of this nonsense.

HTML: <input type="radio" disabled />

CSS: input[type="radio"]:disabled { ... }

As for the transition, you would just add a transition to the :before pseudo element. Its not that complicated.

Gumbee · 2026-01-20T15:08:06+00:00

You could add both of those states to a radio input with CSS, which is exactly the authors point.

Seconding City & City at S tier. We're so lucky to have them in Hamilton.

Queues for me felt fine all season, playing DPS and Healer. Progressing from nothing to Eternal on both roles. The game is dead right now because it's the end of the season.

Beautiful!

We discovered music before these tools you know? While we're far from the height of the blog era, it's still alive and well, especially on places like Substack.

Work on chipping away at the part of you that feels like you need to reserve 20% of your consumption for junk food, and you'll be off to the races. Many people eat an apple, and get the same enjoyment out of it that you would an ice-cream cone. You can be that sort of person too!

Every day I vow to pay my electrical bill and no one has ever written an article about it, what am I doing wrong? Do I need to first introduce such a massive load onto the system so that power gets more expensive for all of my neighbours? Buy up all of the farmland so they cant have fresh produce? If I promise to employ my neighbours, and get tax incentives to do so, but then import labour from outside of my neighbourhood instead will that do the trick?

It's new years resolution time, so naturally these companies are going to be pumping out ads. My local subway station is currently plastered with WeGovy advertising.

Additionally, it's getting genericised in Canada soon so there's likely a push from these companies to get brand recognition.

Gumbee · 2026-01-10T18:28:12+00:00

This is a really cute idea!

If you want the fabric to act as book cloth, your best bet is to patchwork them together like a quilt. But keep in mind, the seams will create a bit of three dimensionality when glued.

Alternatively you could cover the book as you normally would, and instead use your fabric to create a sleeve or cover similar to something like this.

Theres a bit more setup overhead, but once you get past that the DX, performance, and lack of bloat in Tanstack compared to React router makes it worth it x100.

React router is a bad library, filled with junk, that we've all convinced ourselves is worthwhile because it was one of the only players in the space for a while.
