The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was successfully portraying white supremacy as the exclusive province of the poor and the uncultured.

WTF NB Power - why are you allowing a US company to do this? 🤬 A proposed data centre in the Lorneville area of #SaintJohnNB would gobble up the equivalent of almost half the electricity N.B. Power will get from a controversial natural gas plant in the Tantramar area. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I really like @msmacrophage.bsky.social. And, I'm sorry, but until decent immunologists start loudly calling out their PRO-infection colleagues (hybrid immunity 🥳, immunity debt, get infected to not get infected 💩), this is only going to get worse. You. Can't. Be. Pro-Infection. AND. Pro-vax.

this is what happens when techbros just reference culture instead of actually experiencing or enjoying it in any way. They don’t recognize the most recognizable verse from one of the biggest stars in music history

fascists: essentialism liberals: essentialism leftists: materialism it’s not complicated

it's always so funny when Europeans try to launder their sins through their chosen Lamb of God. "Well if Hitler had been Genetically Pure, there wouldn't have been a Holocaust!" do you hear yourselves?

blaming Hitler’s badness on hardly defined neurological features that overlap massively with each other and other supposed maladies is 100% a dead end. This is not science and fascism is always a movement that’s taken advantage of by despots, it doesn’t originate with the individual despot

If the thing about Kallmann syndrome is true, fair enough. But I'm still generally in the historiography camp that says Hitler was not psychologically aberrant or, if so, not in any hugely relevant way. He had some unique traits but in his absence, plenty of others could have filled a similar role.

and this is a guy who skipped 2 grades in high school

some of this is clearly pseudoscience and as an antifascist i don’t think going down this road is actually good

the Slug/Sage Francis/Eyedea and Abilities fan to alt-right pipeline IS REAL and everyone who ever considered their friend’s fixation on white rappers to be a little sus will be vindicated

for sure, liberals hear “kids can’t read or spell” and correct that to “poor kids” in their minds but it’s more likely to be the children of rich people than anyone else

The influence of race science is spreading in the evolutionary behavioural sciences. This new paper means members of a race science network have now been published in Evolutionary Psychological Science, Evolutionary Behavioral Science, Evolutionary Psychology & Adaptive Human Behavior & Physiology

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

You know, we should probably also ask Obama why he employed so many people that were chummy with a notorious pedophilic human trafficker

People are always shocked when I tell them that Sam Altman is not, in fact, a data scientist

crusader tattoo guys vs nordic pagan beardos is a type of right wing internecine conflict I hadn't expected, but which seems so obvious in retrospect

"'In mobility more than elsewhere, the central issue is supply rather than demand,' says the elected official, who assures that the municipality has 'massively amplified the supply in infrastructure.'"

‘It’s Not Too Late’: New Cornell Study Maps the Environmental Cost of AI and How Policy Could Limit the Damage | The authors predict U.S. data centers could annually consume as much water as 10 million Americans and emit as much carbon dioxide as 10 million cars, reports @insideclimatenews.org.

So if a newspaper writes negatively about suspending Sarah Kendzior and Link, if a couple journalists get on this and ask you for statements, you'll finally talk to us about those wrongful bans and what your secret policy is?

Fun facts for all the racists blaming immigration (primarily from India) on Canada's measles woes: -measles vaccination rate in India: 97% (2024) -rate in Canada: 82.5% (2023) So if you want to play this game (and I don't), more Indian immigrants would make us LESS vulnerable to measles.

When I’ve talked to people who do really advanced math, they’ve basically crossed back into the humanities through high-level abstraction and do not sound like these freaks at all because it’s not simply the aesthetic of competence for them.

Remember how Elon said that Trump was in the Epstein files and that’s why he won’t let them be released and he apparently knew all about that but then decided to be friends with Trump again a week later so he just deleted that tweet and doesn’t mention it and no one regards that as a bit of an issue

the worst people are fighting each other

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.

This Day in Labor History: November 12, 1928. Workers for United Fruit in Ciénega, Colombia went on strike over the horrible conditions of their work and life. The response from United Fruit? Kill them.

the thing everyone keeps posting is “omg so many social media interactions make more sense now” and yes. we need to sit with this

“i need to come up with some bullshit” is on the more normal end of possible uses of the bullshit machine, tbh

I love how AI's bubble is about to burst and Canada is like, "Let's pour all our money into AI and also make Evan Solomon in charge."

this is accurate

confused about why literacy rates in the United States are plummeting? the answer is infuriating: poor literacy amongst the working class benefits oligarchs & other fascists. check out this short video from Michael Parenti on how reading is a revolutionary act:

“taste” is just capturing a specific esthetic moment as it’s happening out in the collective consciousness. Individualists like Elon aren’t participating in the creation of it which is why they always miss when they try to reproduce what they think it is

Oh my god. I just looked it up. Suddenly a lot of...everything...is coming into focus. People have no reading comprehension because they can't read but think they can?!

The insistence on making these robots bipedal is probably the most obvious giveaway that it's all a big carny gimmick

My latest AI feature dives into a nebulous movement of people sharing esoteric codes, manifestos, glyphs, diagrams, and poetry generated with chatbots, all of it based around theories of AI sentience and mysterious metaphors about spirals.

Rich tech morons all talk about those books in a way that’s obviously about cultural currency. I don’t think any of them have read more than a summary or some wiki posts on them.
