A good strategy is to Demand Everything, and compromise to Some Things. A bad strategy is to demand Almost Nothing, then compromise to Even Worse Than Before.

Please let me save alt text as a preset in my gallery for my favorite memes

I am increasingly convinced that AI people hate the human condition

Am I good at alt text? No Does it mean I post less pictures? Yes Do I have any right to bitch about my accommodation needs when it would make it less accessible for others? Maybe its complicated this world is hell Conclusion we need better tools

more to the point imo, purposefully isolating youth & cutting them off from the vital safety of support systems that can build is flatly abusive. it's all but openly about preventing kids from finding out what is being done to them by authority figures in their lives is wrong and violent

So when they promised us all that they could comply with Quebec's Law 25 they were lying? THAT IS SHOCKING I'M SHOCKED THIS IS MY SHOCKED.. no I can't even bother.

I still dont understand the people that think its easier to change the behavior of tens of millions of voters rather than party strategy

white cis men have declared themselves the ruling authorities on women's healthcare, an epistemic power they built on the backs of rape victims and enslaved children. the violence this epistemic authority has enabled ever since is genuinely incalculable, but includes the entire field of sexology too

Anyway example 900 of how the liberals really fucking resent the disabled

@liberalca.bsky.social you all really are gross enough to gag a maggot.

I keep tapping this sign.

The Canadian government has, as far as I know, yet to even acknowledge that the fascist Trump admin is detaining Canadians in its gestapo prisons.

following a thread chain sucks so here's the post bsky.app/profile/mara...

I actually think everyone who enabled this should be mounted on a spike outside the senate as a warning

[headbutts you]

Someone explain to me how this in functionally different than a ghetto

Can we talk about how fundamentally undemocratic this is?

Im so sorry there isnt a universe that canada wins a conventional war against the Americans Expensive occupation? Sure But we arent winning a straight fight

Oh good the plan to fix the economy is industrial murder rather than any other manufacturing capacity

One of my classics

Hey maybe we should have actually dismantled the cages in 2020

The shift from “art” to “content” really has been the tech industry’s greatest contribution to the downfall of humanity. God I’m so relieved that we don’t have art anymore. We just have content and content distribution systems. You know, like a trough for barnyard animals. Yum yum.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

I think the "the curtains are just blue" aproach to art analysis is a big part of why people think AI has any value

The world is not ready for cognitive warfare that is indistinguishable from reality in any way. This is going to become the norm for nation states as well as individuals and groups to cause full scale disruption of everything they can

did… did the dog write this recipe

What in the centralization of power is happening here

@davidebybc.bsky.social what the fuck dude. I know you're a liberal dressed as progressive, but what the fuck.

Im putting on weight for the first time -good But have to buy new pants -bad

Give canada like 9 months

Elbows up eh?

Is my entire career based on tourism? Yes Also GO THE FUCK HOME YALL there are simply too many bodies in banff

When I criticize the Liberal government in any way at all, no matter how reasonable, my free and paid subscribers on Substack go down. This dynamic creates a perverse incentive, which I refuse to give in to. But this is a major problem.

Ya i think we just need to quickly restart society cause...... what the actual fuck

This is moral cowardice pf the highest order and makes you a collaborator

The Spearhead Huts Society made a change to their booking policy that will encourage less experienced people to travel during High avalanche hazard because they cannot cancel and get a refund. The previous policy allowed less experienced parties to bow out without a cost.

it's so agonizing because TFA is kind of this really weak set up, then TLJ takes it and "yes, ands" the story into something new and exciting, and then fascism happened

Hello again. We didn't make November's goal, so I'm afraid I still need the same goal in December. Heating fuel, bills, feed, and groceries, still. I'm sorry I have to ask. Still an immediate $500 goal, and $2000 for the month. Apologies. Venmo, cashapp, Paypal: BurdockAndBramble

I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier. Désirée needs our help more than ever. Please *follow*, donate, boost. The last thing grief needs is to be fed by loneliness. Please be here, now.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Forever confused by people like this. You can't be 8 forever. You can't be 12 forever. You can't be 18 forever.

Under no circumstances do you have to give it to trump.jfc how are they this bad at the game

I enjoy licking at raw salt to the point where I wonder if im deficienct in something

the thing about the way people talk about disability accommodations when they don't have skin in the game is that i think it should be legal for me to break their legs

How the fuck are liberals still convinced "we arent fascists" is a long term electoral strategy The Canadian liberals are about a year from imploding over it The uk went full fascist And ya know .... america

nah i have been beating this drum for many years and i will continue beating it for many years to come it seems; *this modern wave of transphobia, especially in the UK, was championed and led through "left wing" party members, organisations and affiliates.* and that's why they won't fight back.

As I posted earlier, this campaign is similar to panic about "boys in girls' sports" and, as commenters pointed out, "welfare queens"—and refugees! And DEI! Conservatives try to use outlier scenarios to stoke resentment and suspicion about any system that extends benefits to marginalized people.

The democratic electoral strategy is predicated upon maintaining fascism as a viable threat to their electorate. No positive policy positions are required as long as the other choice is actively evil. There is no incentive to ever fix anything, move the Overton window leftwards — it weakens them

votersoftomorrow.org/issue/projec... Notice that the page on trans issues is just listing project 2025's goals and then asking for a donation. From before the election It does not actually propose anything in response, and it doesn't list any accomplishments such as "we fought to defend ____" etc.

If we are gonna do real politics with this. Then you must grapple with the harm the system has made you complict in.
