Thought set in ink. Manual labour. Ink and type and presses. Freedom. A voice, manifest. Small quantities. Distinct and original. From my brain. Based on my experience, view, interests, and skills. All my work arrives to me this way. A.I. is the dark heart of late stage Capitalism.

Feel like you are screaming into the void? Don't scream alone. Come for the music, stay for the slick graphics, and a newsletter that will help you navigate the capitalist apocalypse. Tell 'em the Trout sent you.

If you want to buy a vacuum here, good luck finding one that isn't going to disintegrate after 10 uses, demand an app / subscription service, can't be repaired etc. Our consumer protections are failing us and the environment. We need a serious right to repair movement, backed by policy with teeth.

I don't know why @cityptbo.bsky.social doesn't just take over every arms length org that gets funding? Sounds like staff have serious sector skills. Ugh. They're coming for you next, Arts and culture orgs. Staff should focus on the issues at hand. There are plenty that actually fall in your yard.

New from me! The GE property at 107 Park Street generates more than $500,000 in property taxes for the city each year. That number stands to decrease if a proposal to demolish many of the buildings on the 50-acre site goes ahead. peterboroughcurrents.ca/analysis/ge-...
