The similar values are racism.

Just about have the cover done for LLM issue 2 ( #HamOnt area folks: bonus points if you recognize the design)

Make it stick.

I like it when people wear an N95 mask to avoid spreading disease. I dislike it when people wear balaclavas while assaulting, kidnapping, and murdering people. I'm just weird like that

apropos of nothing

So, Mark Carney's strategy for decreasing Canadian exposure to the US involves increasing trade with authoritarian Gulf states, putting us in a military alliance with them, which could lead to Canada effectively intervening on the US side in its illegal war, drawing Canada closer to the US? Genius.

i'm almost reluctant to give the Liberals this free advice because i'd much prefer to see them wiped out in the next election (and hopefully soon), but: ditch this morally bankrupt banker boy before he turns you all into pariahs and jets off to some nuclear bunker with the rest of his Epstein class

Coming soon, an answer to whether Liberal MPs, after rolling over on climate action, will do the same on joining Trump's Fascist Follies or find their backbones. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I honestly can't believe that anyone is seriously considering this. The only reason to have nukes is if you are willing to vaporize the civilian population of entire cities. Mass murder of human beings is the premise of "deterrence" and no we should absolutely not be playing that lose-lose game.

Wow yeah another "silly edge case" with our perfect protocol, let's solve it at the app level again 🤪

1/ PM Carney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war. Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.

ok but hear me out, what if i'm carrying groceries in both hands and *really* need to use AI to make instant deepfakes of women walking by

Carney just called the US our ally. Several times. Canadian Liberals: is this what you voted for? Fighting WWIII on the side of the fascists?

This video. The level of casual disregard for us from the Lib-Con alliance is pretty striking. All so our banking oligopoly can squeeze a little more profit out of us by shirking their responsibilities.

Uhhh hey #HamOnt we got a AI data centre problem here www.thesteelport.com 1/

He said "Israel has the right to defend itself" in a statement about an unprovoked attack by the US/Israel that killed dozens of schoolchildren, do you think he could have maybe even just not done that, Max?

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.” Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer. Nope.

The Liberals’ budget bill hides a major threat to Canada’s democratic checks and balances. It gives ministers sweeping power to override Parliament by waiving laws for select individuals and corporations. Such extraordinary measures shouldn't be buried in a 600‑page omnibus bill.

Environment Canada has decided to end all emergency alert broadcasting in just two weeks time: www.canada.ca/en/environme...

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus. FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source

carney lied to justify rolling back climate policy and pushing for a new oil pipeline? i’m shocked!

Ah ok so the CPC's opposition was purely performative, as are the amendments. Basically the immense cabinet power grab still happens in C-15, they just have to pretend to ask Canadians for permission first, like they did with the recent AI 'consultation' #CdnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1167987...

After weeks of non stop international vilification of trans people there's evidence of potential AI psychosis or radicalization that was so bad employees at OpenAI wanted to alert the RCMP before the shooting. They were silenced by the company. Why are politicians protecting Sam Altman's empire?

While resisting Trump, Carney is giving corporations a free-hand - rabble.ca rabble.ca/columnists/w...

Yesterday Cory Doctorow argued that refusal to use LLMs was mere "neoliberal purity culture". I think his argument is a strawman, doesn't align with his own actions and delegitimizes important political actions we need to make in order to build a better cyberphysical world.

Just did this. "Rude" is essentially a shadowban and is capriciously applied. "Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose." Dudes, your CEO was shrieking "Waffles!" at people.

One of the first sections of the new "Defence Industrial Strategy" released by the Canadian government describes how private businesses *must* be assured that any potential conflict requiring arms production will last for an extended period. www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

Lol okay buddy

I called my (Liberal) MP's constituency office yesterday and asked the staff member (office manager?) why the Canadian government continues to sign contracts w/ companies working with ICE. They made all kinds of excuses ... 1/2 #CdnPoli

Shooting dozens of rounds of tear gas and using pepper spray and their batons, the SPVM violently pushed back more than a thousand people who showed up this afternoon to send a message to GardaWorld over their contracts with ICE at their offices and training center in Ville Saint-Laurent. (thread)

Heck yeah, this freaking rules #CdnPoli #NDP

$2.5M is 2.8% of the 5 km, $88M Rymal Rd widening. So if we’re “stretching every dollar” and climate change can wait, (even after a summer that saw 30 days over 30 degrees), then Rymal can wait too. #HamOnt @mayorandreahorwath.bsky.social

For many Canadians this may draw a 'meh,' so what, but archives, especially community archives, are a tangible link to collective memory and the past, in the past few years I've witnessed many reserves starting their own archives, photographs and stories, here the cuts will hurt, community...

I dunno man you could try reading the responses instead of pretending that your ignorance is actually some sort of high-minded take

'Canadian protocol requires foreign government flights to seek permission well before entering Canadian airspace... CBC asked Global Affairs if the government of Israel sought permission for the latest flight, but the department declined to answer the question.' www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #CDNpoli

Even if there's, like, a 1 in 10 chance that "fire-breathing space dragons incinerate vast swaths of the habitable biosphere" that's an *enormous* risk to the social order!

I always liked this guys videos, but I never really follow accounts like this. This earned him a follow. Use your large reach for good, and fuck the haters that rant about "staying in your lane". Human rights are EVERYONE'S lane.

I 20000% tagged him and it got untagged 👀 how the fuck?

I’ve been saying for months that how the Carney government jumps on the F-35 will tell us a great deal about whether they truly intend to distance Canada from the US. Carney is still moving Canada toward deeper US integration. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.

Prime Minister Carney, silence is not an option when Trump attacks sovereign nations in the Americas. Canadians expect you to stand up for human rights, international law, and against the bullying of smaller nations by a rampaging superpower.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... this man is a folk hero to Liberal voters yet carney's policies are going to ensure he gets turfed by his rightfully pissed-off constituents at the very first opportunity
