"it's not a bubble" i say as i liquidate my IPs to feed the money burning machine

I will use every opportunity to post this:

Consultant brain

A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead. There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere. This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying 🧵

Do you notice how basically nothing in British politics makes sense, unless key players and major commentators are absolutely deranged? And then it makes *way too much* sense, everything slots together just fine. Because it’s elite radicalisation, they have driven themselves and each other crazy.

Yeah giving conservatives everything they want in exchange for nothing is not convincing me he's good at politics.

i have EXTREMELY bad news about what the US Military actually does

but like, this would be a war crime during a war also. the issue isn't if it's technically a war crime or not, the issue is that innocent people got killed for no reason.

a bold new healthcare vision: what if we cherry-pick specific examples to frame all disabled people as liars and cheats this has never once been done before

I love Super Robot Wars

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

is there a name for the very specific range of cold inside the house where you instinctively do a shitty It's Cold Dance while rubbing your hands together

from the guy revamping the economy to cater to US tech interests and who was just begging Trump's forgiveness because a conservative was mean to him

septuagenarian silent sociopaths with skin of weathered leather & blurry profile pics of ugly tabby cats & bios that begin “my dad killed Nazis” invariably relish in dehumanizing Muslims & trans ppl et al.

posts like this always make me think of this evergreen dril tweet

It's also worth noting that romanticizing the rule of law means adopting a wholly false perspective around what the law is, who it targets, who it privileges, and how it functions—or I suppose it could just be an embrace of that hierarchy, which is also... a problem.

Both Liberals and Conservatives right now are like "fuck yeah our leader is playing 4d chess" and neither will ever admit their leader is being a fucking idiot.

I think it’s bad, actually, to play political chess with Indigenous rights.

i'm starting to think this carney guy isn't actually some kind of genius financial guru but is, in fact, just a greedy dipshit crook

Desperately clung-to hypothesis: Carney is acting purely in the interest of average Canadians and is a 4D chess playing genius. Alternative hypothesis: Carney is a banker and just here to enrich extractive, tech, and defense industries. Which is consistent with basically all observation to date? 🤔

PSA: do not give Mark Kelly your money. I know he's the "good guy" of the current controversy and has an innate aura of Respectability due to military propaganda but he is a big ol Zionist who sucks. Taking AIPAC cash, championing the Iron Dome, the works.

Also, Mark Kelly gave Netanyahu a standing ovation and condemned the ICC. Fuck him.

Has anyone bothered asking Ukrainians what they want?

If you're keeping score this week, Carney is: * Negotiating backroom deals on pipelines with Alberta and without BC or Indigenous folks. * Undermining anti-greenwashing laws. * Making deals with the UAE despite their role in Sudan. * Cutting funding for infectious disease work in Africa.

the liberal Chosen One

because it's cool op

The thing about the government bailing out genAI when the bubble pops, is it can't. It's almost half the US stock market. It is bigger than consumer spending. The government would have to spend like half its entire budget, on something that loses billions of dollars a month, forever.

post something random or you'll have an awful december

This is a good idea in general - the World Cup is a big scam in terms of what a country gets out of hosting it.

Nicely summarizes how the Carney government’s thoughtless, reckless AI strategy will reduce government capacity while making government more dependent on foreign tech firms. As with a lot of things with this government, it comes down to a refusal to think about long-term governance issues.

you can practically smell the grift

it never ends memorizing the specific age of consent laws in every state like a normal person

seriously they all just come out of the woodwork, each having convinced themselves that their desires are cool and normal and slam head-first into the reality of No.

I've noticed, from this happening every single time, that pedophiles have an overwhelming obsession with having their desires seen as "normal". so if you manage to take one down inevitably other pedophiles will come out of the woodwork to defend them. basically, get ready for a fuckin storm of this

financial genius immediately dives head-first into every possible tech scam

I don't blame anyone who got tricked into signing up but being a veteran is not something to be proud of.

As always, Chuck Schumer masterfully positions himself so as to piss off absolutely everyone involved and gain as little as possible in the process. An all-time centrism all-star in his element.

Please stop saying things like "We had to vote for Carney, it was the only alternative to PP". It's just not true. In fact, that kind of thinking made and continues to make things worse. 🧵

even in the throes of "all is lost" some American Exceptionalism sneaks it's way in. the white house is not the center of global democracy

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

is legit insane to me how many americans are convinced the more life sucks the more “realistic” and beneficial it is. They call anything better a fantasy but the idea that you have to make everything as shit as possible on purpose cuz “that’s life” is more of a fantasy

there is the unfortunate asterisk here of "if the dems don't agree with them" though

Brilliant financial guru Carney reveals his stunning economic plan: strip-mine everything to feed the yawning void of the on-it's-last-legs AI bubble this must be the leadership that put the bank of england on the map

New awareness campaign

Mark Carney: To protect Canadian society we must destroy it through austerity. To ensure Canadians sovereignty, I will impose corporate and state sovereignty over people, resources, and territory in Canada. If you disagree, we have policing legislation to keep you in line.

going to say it again: everything clicks into place when you understand that these people, the Trumps, the Musks, the Millers, the Schumers, the Jeffries, hell, even the Pritzkers and the Platners, they don't see anybody below their income bracket or clout level as human
