it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

This is a really good and accessible write up of what the recent bluesky drama is all about

CEO: we're all trying to improve this place You: so you're gonna kick out the guy who keeps trying to kill me, right CEO: You: You're gonna kick out the guy who has literally helped kiwifarms target me personally, right CEO: WAFFLES

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Launching The Orb Party for Canada.

Looking EXTREMELY Cool and Good!

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

While the Carney government sweeps aside Indigenous rights for "nation-building projects," it's worth remembering what the law actually says. Reconciliation can't be performance while communities lack basic safety and justice.

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

nobody on earth wishes you more harm than the people in power and their financial backers

"I haven't been a scumbag in years Mr Garda"

A message from Liam Óg....

It’s absolutely right that workers walk off the job in response to the government taking a chainsaw to Canada Post. If we lose the unique national infrastructure the postal service has, it will never be rebuilt. We should be using it to expand services to the public, not nickel and diming it.

hear me out, government of canada, you could just FUND THE FUCKING POST OFFICE YOU ABSOLUTE GHOULS www.thestar.com/business/pos...

Fuck this shit and fuck the Neocon Carney government. Postal services are essential PUBLIC infrastructure. It doesn’t need to make money. We pay for these things because society needs them to function. Very frightened about what this means for the future of public health. @liberalca.bsky.social

Comedian Zach Woods calls out comedians who are performing in Saudi Arabia’s comedy festival

Canada’s government is focused on what matters: making sure an Irish rap group with a history of controversial commentary can’t play their music in Canada. Meanwhile, our government still refuses to address the actual genocide that band Kneecap has been vocally opposing:

Austin Lunn/Panopticon dropped a killer new EP in support of immigrants' legal defence funds. Good tunes, even better cause: thetruepanopticon.bandcamp.com/album/the-po... #music #metalsky

This politician is remaining silent on Bluesky about this but he just posted a video explaining how he's banning the Irish band Kneecap from entering Canada. If you're an IDF soldier and you've killed a Palestinian child you can vacation in the country but if you say genocide is bad you can't.

Shame on @vgasparro.bsky.social and the entire @liberalca.bsky.social government for your bad-faith slander of @kneecapceol.bsky.social. Banning Kneecap from performing while continuing to materially support the Netanyahu regime is unconscionable.

Right-wing propaganda has been so effective in leading notionally centre-left parties the world over to WILLINGLY self destruct by abandoning LGBT rights, refugees/immigrants, taxing the rich, funding social services, etc. It's the defining political theme of our time.

MEATBOMB!

Now this is actually a good thing! With an unabashed NeoLib in power, it would be a REALLY great time for the NDP to find a real identity as the workers' party

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

The Canadian federal parliament just valourized a white supremacist who hated Canada. Great job all round, members...

This is also the exact vibe of Charlie Kirk obituaries. Nary a mention of how he said he’d hypothetically force his daughter to deliver her rapist’s baby at age 10

one fact that consistently elides the centrist mind is that Democrats tried flanking Trump on immigration policy, to literally zero political benefit.

We need communism

NEW: The Carney government invited President of The Heritage Foundation, those behind Project 2025 to address cabinet. Though the ostensible reason was to gain insight on approaching US trade talks, a deeper look reveals far more. Carney's policies uncomfortably echo Project 2025. #cdnpoli

Absolutely shameful decisions by the Carney govt.

starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:

Here's the clip! youtu.be/ZGVKZQQSJkg

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

"We've created one of the most anti human, pro capital nations on earth. What gives? Why are ppl dying earlier???"

"Whether it be in a fire, flood or hurricane, humans tend to respond with altruism, ingenuity and camaraderie during a crisis. Gun-toting loners also don’t tend to handle catastrophes very well: instead, the survivors of crises tend to be those with lots of social connections"

The Liberals heavy-handed and completely out of touch handling of this strike is so emblematic of their fundamental lack of respect for most Canadians. They clearly don't respect people who have to work for a living and don't think they deserve fair wages and decent working conditions.

If the Liberals hadn't trained Canada's corporations to think they could treat workers like shit and not bargain in good faith because the government would always swoop in to crush the union, no matter how reasonable their demands, Air Canada might be making money right now instead of losing it.

Bill C-5 will let the Carney government sidestep Indigenous rights and environmental checks for “nation-building” projects of its choosing. It’s a sharp turn toward authoritarianism—and a breaking point for Canadian liberalism.

Sam Altman has got to the point where he doesn't even bother to describe stuff anymore. "Uhh yeah sometime you'll have a thingy that will do stuff. And wow will it be good!"

In the latest SFF Bestiary, Judith Tarr asks the question: When did whales turn around and walk back into the sea? (And your temporary social media human would like to know: Is that still an option? Who do I talk to about this?) reactormag.com/evolution-in...

For those curious about who and what is driving the bait-and-switch of the Carney government, this is some interesting insight into who's got the PM's ear...

Very concise analysis of why doubling down on oil production is going to be absolutely ruinous for Alberta (and the wider country if Carney’s Libs dump a bunch of cash into pipeline projects)

Today I opened Linkedin. Then I closed it. Why? Because the site is poop from my ass. Most people don't like poop from their ass. But unlike the uninformed skeptics, I know poop contains nutrients that I can then reintegrate into my body. So why did I close LinkedIn? Because I use AI t
