Yeah, Ken Sim is a deeply stupid man, zero doubt

Grab your Eggos and hop on your bikes because Stranger Things Trivia is coming to The Rec Room Granville on Sunday, November 9. Hosts Joe Fulgham and Daniel Chai invite you and your Party to test your knowledge of the popular Netflix series. www.eventbrite.ca/e/fandom-tri...

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week. Everyone ready? Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

I think what these "big brain strategists" fail to realize is that if you don't want to support rights for trans folk, we are not on the same "team", your person winning the election isn't a win for me if you're not supporting rights for everyone

That's because they're fucking idiots, there is literally no other explanation www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Obligatory Jenny Nicholson Tweet

No, terrible public library website, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at those who have failed you.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I enjoy how people with lists called "leftist pigs who deserve helicopter rides" are ignored so the devs can focus on what's *really* important, defending digital cancer

Summary of the early buzz says Tron: Ares will be the Highlander 2 of the franchise: So bad we'll all just pretend it never happened

You can now be banned for "Being disruptive to other users" yeah thats definitely going to be enforced consistently

It’s very interesting to see how Bluesky says they don’t want to do moderation (see: “make your own if JS bothers you”) but then they will bend and twist their way to find a reason to ban someone that annoys the CEO who is on a different server of their “decentralized” network. #FreeLink

Link has always been a positive plus for Bluesky. Let's be crystal clear the reason for his ban is goalpost moving because the CEO didn't like being called out for racism and bigotry. That's it. That's literally it.

Partly because where is there to go but now a big part of it is they are trying to get us all to leave so they can have a safe cis white liberal-right techbro space, and honestly fuck that. We got here first

i’m going to make a popular website then destroy it by being an asshole. has this been done

Fulgham's Rule: When the right makes an accusation it's usually a confession Here it's just PP telling Carney the thing he tells himself in the mirror every morning (after angrily spitting on it)

Y'know, with this and the whole love of Bitcoin I'm beginning to believe Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim may not be a very smart man. He should turn that meeting room he converted to a gym into a library instead, maybe learn a fucking thing or two

For the record, I don't use facebook other than for business, because they are powerful rent-seekers who have total network domination. If every user left facebook tomorrow, nobody would be happier than me.

I wish leaders in Canada took this seriously. But nope, more oil and more standard cars.

Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

"mistreated" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this title They tortured her

Reports indicate there has been a week-long gas leak at Bluesky HQ

Two years is all it took

Now’s a great time to cancel Paramount Plus if you haven’t already. They still haven’t reinstated Colbert who was cancelled for rightfully pointing out that CBS took a bribe. They bent a knee. Now they’ve made Bari Weiss, notorious misinformation spreader, the head of CBS News. Cancel. Now.

This opinion, generated by an LLM or not, is, as the kids say, "AI" And by that they mean "worthless, wrong, stupid" Spread the word

Between this, the epstein list, obsession with trans kids playing sports, & neverending conspiracy theories about what's going on in schoolsin general, you realize that the primary concern of the Republican party and its supporters is their deep desire to abuse children

Not trying to join the dunk party here, just want to note that the author is on Anthropic's economic advisory council.

People ask me why I get so angry about disinformation

i just think of this quote whenever i’m forced to interact with an AI engineer who actually believes LLMs will revolutionize the world. upton sinclair you will always be famous “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

Holy SHIT they've identified an actual biomarker!!!

This has been the strategy since I first became a voter decades ago, and it has demonstrably made the party and the country worse.

I'm not seeing a single mention of the six Canadians on the Sumud Flotilla in any major news outlets.

The fact that his trans daughter is famous, and happy, and despises him, has burnt a hole right through his soul.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

wow if only someone could have predicted that building 550sq ft "masterfully crafted, boutique condos" at like $3-4k/month would appeal to literally nobody actually looking for housing sure fooled me! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As a “New Atheist” of the early 2000s, I knew it was crucial to stop the Religious Right from destroying the wall separating Church & State. But even I didn’t think that by 2025 the President would green light sending ppl to Guantanamo for being “anti-Christian.” skepchick.org/2025/10/trum...

To be clear, saying you're going to "avoid politics" is an INCREDIBLY political statement, especially in an age of fascism.

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

It is shocking how much of an empty suit Carney turned out to be. I assumed we'd get a cold-blooded yet highly rational banker who understood international affairs, and instead he's a bobble head.

Bob's Burger Trivia and Halloween & Horror Trivia are coming to The Rec Room this October! Get ready to show off your brain power for a chance to win great prizes at Brentwood on Saturday, Oct 11 (Bob's Burgers) and Granville on Sunday, Oct 26 (Halloween & Horror) www.eventbrite.ca/e/fandom-tri...

Reports from war-torn Portland: The Slim's brunch special is a Chorizo Omelette and both words are misspelled on the board. The hashbrowns are still the best in Portland and their eggs Benedict a thing of glory. Two dog owners are chatting while their dogs play. We will rebuild.

Proud to announce the project I've been working on 🏳️‍⚧️🧬 Had hoped to have more ready, but the events of the last week stressed the importance of speaking up against fascism NOW I'd appreciate your support in spreading the word, esp if you work in life sciences research, healthcare, or biotech

In the news: Deeply stupid people have bought EA Games.

“Well, there’s nothing better than a fart. Except Pete Hegseth getting hit in the beans by a skateboard, maybe. Fuck, I could watch MAGAs get sacktapped all day, I don’t give a shit about your balls.”

A reminder that adults who are obsessed with being the ones who get to control what's going on in the underpants of children are creepy perverts and should be treated as creepy perverts. This obsession is profoundly abnormal.

Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that benefits families. Just a couple of weeks ago Congressional Republicans voted to make ICE richer than most of world’s militaries.

A billionaire, a cisgender worker, and a trans kid sit at a table which has 15 cookies on it. The billionaire takes 14 cookies, then leans over to the worker and says "Watch out! I think that trans kid wants to take your cookie!"

We live in the most insane timeline.
