imagining a The Ring style thing where you go on the virtual tour of this house and then its cursed ghosts start to haunt you.

this really reflects the way this government think that the people who write laws are just like, a fancy typewriter, and not experts who can advise amateur pols on form and content.

have a good weekend, work hard, rest hard. everyone wants a village and if that includes you, be a good villager out there.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

i am v interested in applying the black book of communism methodologies to capitalism. alot of these "deaths" are based on like, changes in birth rates. and alot of these deaths are nazis during ww2.

an old guy in my good has a moose hoof on his cane instead of a normal grip. the only alternative is theres a 1 legged moose in my hood

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand

a trick of mine when you dont wanna work out is do a little, find out what the least you will do is, don't let it be 0 is all. i find if you keep saying let's make the least i'll do a little more, you'll want to find another set.

you had me at "Adversarial Poetry"

the jurisprudence right now is ~the UCP's use of section 33 is allowed to stand for its duration and turn charter rights off. we could perhaps hope for, argue for, a court to set a limit on section 33 but that's not the law (until it is). but if i were in the federal government, i know what i'd do.

i think conservapedia finally caught the last of my vandalism edits, saw when i wondered if it had a page on grokipedia and what it said

there's an account with a theory that, at the most basic level, the mainstream left/right divide is the urban/rural divide, and sometimes it is hard to avoid concluding this is true

gonna melodeath doom metal. gonna life metal doom metal. call that destiny metal.

getting addicted to outrage is a force divider and frankly a big quality of life hit, but maybe it's the gateway drug to getting addicted to hope? idk. i just know some folks need to get off that sauce.

the big barrier to chat gpt absolutely decimating people over 45 is that it cannot call you on the phone or vice versa. the guy who invents that is gonna be so rich and hopefully have to go to the hague

tapping the sign bsky.app/profile/jack...

like a drop in the bucket of everything wrong with this but "what if the loved ones we've lost could be part of our future", like, motherfucker they are!

decreasing the time between sets from 90 seconds to 80 seconds has had a surprising effect on the overall intensity of my workouts

the NDP "announcement" seems like it's exactly what i feared? it's all vibes, no platform. a more polished, tik-tok ready notley campaign.

gotta say, between the lead in the gasoline and the american education system, these guys were barely literate. i wonder what a society of seething, stupid guys like this, aged 20-50 (1965-1995), was like

Let’s make return to office mandatory tho

thought i couldn't update my version of godot on my work comp because windows defender pop-up says "we stopped unrecognized app from making changes" with a button to leave, but if you click "more info" a new button appears that says "install anyway" lol

If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

the shocking part to me is that if you buy a house with a 50 year mortgage the day you turn 20 (lol), you will be making mortgage payments until you are 70. because most people only earn money through employment, many are going to be de facto locked out of retirement.

chinese ppl are just like you and me, except their cuisine is better. they are our brothers and sisters.

we did it, have a good weekend, unless you have hate in your heart

janice irwin at farrow in front of me getting a grick, no meat. a vegetarian grick, instead of the vegan special. idk how i would explain this if you're not from here, but that's real af. that's as Edmontonian as it gets.

Russia's agricultural output in inflation adjusted dollars, 1961-2020 (there is a global recession in 1981, the soviet union dissolves in 1991, there is a global recession in 2008, are the main 3 line-moving events) monthly food bank visits 2020-2025, Canada, vs food and housing inflation

i think left wing candidates with a strong vision, and messaging translated directly into real folks' material conditions, dont have to compromise on social issues to win. just say "it's none of my business, i love them how they were made", bait reactionaries to harp on minorities instead of housing

Good morning. Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos. But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong. A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Captain Torture

a big way that post-9/11 islamophobia manifests in regular folks is that every hadith some fringe branch of a branch of a branch of islam accepts represents all muslims, when like, judaism and esp. christianity have similarly regressive ultra-orthodox/extremist branches we "no true scotsman" fallacy

searching for the new chatpile album and spotify pushed a pop-up that turned my search into "cha" so the first result was chappell roan, lol sure, close enough.

As socialism gets more popular in the US watch who the capitalists are willing to promote and team with to protect themselves

New season of Fortnite is wild

did my whole workout in jeans without realizing. idk what this means but it must be bad

i am not a serious musician but i am gonna play with an experimental doom/drone band and my main qualification is i have a circuit bent bitcrusher/pitch-shifter with an optic theramic controlling the pitch cycle that was built by a meth head from halifax, so let me in the noise band ok

primitive man in their live sets have been doing these breakdowns where they run drone and feedback through like a bitcrusher and manipulate the inputs to make it bug out, and they put some of that on the new album, fucking, so brutal. the new album really slaps.

this is still a big backslide - this is an annual vote since 1992, and usually the only opposed votes are USA and Israel, sometimes with up to 2 other nations. 7 votes against is the most opposition this resolution has ever had. also up from ~0-3 abstentions to 12.

my favorite thing in the world is the right wing singles on Love Is Blind being like "the dating scene sucks!" and then, when freed from it, they immediately reinvent it with all its worst aspects hyper-magnified and inflict it on themselves and others.

damn, new Agriculture album to start the month and new Primitive Man album to finish it. i know god sees me, know he gives me what i need (the hardest shit anyone has ever heard).

tbf it's a banger, a surreal dream-like (nightmarish) element adds a threatening aura to the american realist he's better known for.

the forever canadian petition, which has a huge popular margin on separatism, is not going to get over the threshold to qualify. so, sorry to be a doomer, but there is no chance your ucp mla who won the popular vote is getting recalled. the law was written so these would be impossible.

honestly whatever gets us to abolish the aristocracy is fine, i'll take it. no more kings baby.

this whole piece is fascinating but this section really stuck out to me as why so many people are the way they are. they project trump himself onto themselves, and he is their identity. an attack on trump is a direct attack on them

lol uh oh. Should I? www.humblebundle.com/software/lea...

update i applied to this job because commuting by car 3 days a week and working from home 2 is still *less* of a pay cut than commuting by transit 5 days a week, if i can buy the car cash (i can, i am successful)
