I made the mistake of checking to see if there was anything interesting about *waves hand vaguely at current events* on lemmygrad, and... good grief. I keep forgetting that place has been ruined by admins who love AI slop. We need to do better at running these people out of ostensibly leftist spaces

I can't wait until the next time I have to argue with some braindead Canadian lib about Mark "Elbows Up" Carney, who just got outflanked on the left by Marine Le fucking Pen, on specifically the topic he lied about to get elected

19th century table formatting will be the death of me

Your brain has clearly been on vacation for a long time, and it's not looking like the kind of vacation that ever ends. Fools believing in ridiculous things like MTG as part of some "pro-democracy" movement is exactly the effect that the "orange man is the problem" narrative is designed to produce

These "AI" "companion" things give me the ick like nothing else. I won't even make this a quote for context, since it's deeply disturbing to have to see at all. The consequences for the people behind all of this needs to be incredibly severe, but instead we reward them with infinite wealth and power

Oh yay, a phone OS update. Time to spend an hour wading through menus to find all the battery- and brain-melting "AI" spyware bullshit to turn off

Lexi Alexander‘s bluesky account has been suspended. Bluesky’s crackdown on Palestinians continues unabated.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Special days are silly, and special days that are just a thinly masked excuse for more forced consumerism are even sillier

Happy holidays to everyone else who told their families to go fuck themselves ONLY

This is called the Frequency illusion, or Baader–Meinhof phenomenon en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequen...

Shout out to December 2025 Bluesky helping me in my journey to fully quitting all social media by having the most ridiculous discourse imaginable

It's hard to find humour in things going on right now, but all this tacky desecration of American symbols is hilarious. They'll take down the letters and the plaques, but they'll never wash away the gaudy stench, because it was always there. The most American president ever just put it on display

Conspiracy theory: Youtube is automatically "enhancing" all videos to make even real video look uncanny, as an encircling move in the war against reality where "AI" is the main front. It's easier to convince people that synthetic things are real when you make real things look synthetic as well

Tidal pushed some remake of California Über Alles on me that replaces Brown with Newsom (so far so good) then immediately starts crying about masks and being called racist and other right wing grievances. Sigh. What part of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" did you barely literate assholes not understand?

During the posting process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with post creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own posting team.

Admittedly, a lot of people are clearly vulnerable to having smoke blown up their ass, but if you ever wanted to see how the mind of a famously wrong dumbass can be melted just by having a chat bot say he's very smart for a change, do I have a treat for you www.persuasion.community/p/my-chatgpt...

"People want software that is fast, modern, but also honest about what it does. They want to understand what’s happening and to have real choices." is some wild shit to say as you're trying to force "AI" bullshit on a userbase who despises it even more than usual blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

"AI" has finally come for the industry of annoying nerds who treat every political engagement as an opportunity to hawk newspapers

Best fit of the day award goes to the guy at the skating rink in full tactical gear - infantry helmet w/ camera mount, pulled up neck gaiter, camo fatigues, pretty much everything but a plate carrier and rifle - plus figure skates, working on his axels

This is the future. Invest in my company that sells bicycles with factory-installed DUI bars

"Could it be that my takes are conservative dreck that people rightfully hate because I'm part of the problem? No, no, surely all Canadians get this treatment"

The most fun "we promise it's not American" Canadian grocery branding I've seen yet

I'm doing some home network maintenance, and it occurs to me that in the modern era of ubiquitous containerization, Bluesky's claims to care about decentralization are so transparently bullshit. It's 2025, if a service actually wants other people to be able to run it, it's a 5 minute job

I prefer the original Vania, all the Dracula and Alien crap was bolted on to make cheap franchise installments at the expense of gameplay

Sorry everyone, some things came up and I wasn't able to maintain the intensity of the spiritual attacks

I wish I could care at all about the NDP leadership race, but let's be real, it's been obvious that they're irreparably compromised - even by demsoc standards - for over a decade now

I would go to jail for a very long time for what I'd do to anyone who did this to my grandmother, who would've been horrified to be violated by a Nazi plagiarism machine like this

Retvrn to the Roman Empire, who wouldn't have put up with those swarthy Italians and their DEI agenda

I don't post bad due to lack of skill, I post bad because positively contributing to Bluesky (derogatory) would be reactionary

Dear internet diary, today I'm going to be wholesome and healthy and go skating and drink hot chocolate and say happy holidays and so on and I won't have even one GI-Robot-esque thought about how I don't enjoy landscapes devoid of dead Nazis who've been sent back to hell where th... OH GOD DAMNIT

I've been catching a lot of strays over this Newsom sitting business, and I'll allow it, but for the record a lot of straight neuroypicals on here are skating on thin ice

It's a bit like the FIFA Peace Prize: Earth was excluded from the actual Miss Universe pageant ages ago, so we made our own very real and important contest for the specialest birthday planet to win

Addendum: when in doubt, hit da bricks sooner rather than later. If you outstay your patience, you might, uuuuhhhh cause a bit of a mess on your way out

Geriatric millennial posting tangent, but I get annoyed when Kids These Days™ who've always had instant access to everything on the internet shit talk RATM for being lame. Sure, the politics aren't always perfect, nu-metal happened, etc., looking back from 2025, I get it, but...

That was a very satisfying account deletion. Galaxy brain genius business move, openly advertising that your educational app is now slop and pivoting to "AI-powered" advertising. People love that stuff!

Godspeed You! Black Panther

About to drive home from my awful "family" full of horrible people to *not* return for the holidays and I may literally die from the elation. Have a garbage family full of abusive fascist sociopaths?

"a right wing puppet until 2023" lol I used to be a right wing puppet. I still am, but I used to be, too

Ooo, Metroid discourse, I get to trot out one of my ultraretrogrouch opinions! Metroid is a series of 2D platform games. Sadly, after the 90's console classics, we only got Fusion and Zero Mission on GBA in 2002-4 and it wouldn't be until 2017's Samus Returns that we got another Metroid game

"most ideas are wrong" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person has correct ideas. Jordans Pete, who lives on beef & has over 10,000 wrong ideas each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Checking back in with Bluesky to see what's going on and I see that The Wall (the-wall.win) now blocks the entire site lol

Ugh, I keep coming across posts and replies I would've liked to see, from people I'm following, that just weren't in my following feed. Not just bullying or whatever either, journalists and so on. I don't follow very many people, so it's very obvious that this is happening

I bet I could be a big account if I said "fuck" less, that's definitely the main thing holding me back. Anyway, as always, Death To America

Well, no. How that actually works is that they boil the frog by slowly defunding and sabotaging it more and more until it becomes a manufactured crisis that they propose to fix with privatization. Pretty standard neoliberal playbook

Morning web searches, tab 1: how to get a chat bot phone receptionist to connect you to a human Morning web searches, tab 2: how to kill yourself in the messiest way possible

Not getting drafted life hack: be a communist, and openly state on the internet that the instant you're given a live weapon, every commanding officer in range dies, and the instant you know any tactically useful information, so does China ottawacitizen.com/public-servi...

Good evidence for why Canadian liberals who point to the US or Alberta as where all the bad people are need to shut the fuck up now and forever. Ontario is fascist backwater shithole full of racist mouth-breathing treatlerites, just like the rest of Canada
