yeah hasan has done a great job tracking this and showing how Candance’s wild conspiracies have neutered any potential unifying that could have been from Kirk’s murder this could have genuinely been a Reischtag moment but instead it’s just another case of posting worms bsky.app/profile/noam...

live your life in a way that your supposed friends and loved ones aren't tearing other to shreds over how best to exploit you before your body is cold

The devastation I feel about this attack on science in particular is hard to cope with. It’s like watching my dad die all over again. I would do anything to spare someone a death via pancreatic cancer.

We're completely screwed if our response to measles is going to be asking antivaxxers - the most selfish and stupid people in our society - to voluntarily self-report and quarantine for 21 days each every time they get exposed

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.

Hope orgs like this spread across the country: "The program offers monthly produce baskets to members that contain different kinds of fruits & vegetables for $15. It also offers meat baskets ... for $20, according to the organization’s website." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Egale and Skipping Stone, in a statement Thursday, said since it’s likely the law can no longer be struck down on Charter grounds, they’re looking to argue it as a criminal law issue, because doctors who don’t comply with it could face fines or even imprisonment." www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

"Katherine Morgan, the owner of Grand Gesture Books in Portland, Ore., says she’s losing hundreds of dollars a day in sales due to not having copies of Heated Rivalry, which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money."

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.

my most hated "christmas song" taken down lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nIk...

hideous post nasal drip making me sooooo nauseous I wish I was a normal person whose runny nose came out their nostrils

Just really sucks that so many of us are barely getting by (if that), and the people who stole from us are rewarded with billions. It's hard to put into words how demoralising that is.

When I’ve written about Elsa chatbots and Marvel actress deepfakes, people always eagerly respond that Disney will surely sue the AI companies. Didn’t happen. Instead, they joined forces with them. You can’t trust corporate America to do what’s right, not even for them, once they smell money

After ChatGPT appeared to validate a man's suspicion that his 83-year-old mother may have been part of a conspiracy against him, he killed her. OpenAI bears responsibility for her death because the company rushed out “a defective product that validated a user’s paranoid delusions,” a lawsuit says.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children. They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

you'll spend your entire life thinking "that's not her, not really" and pushing the thought away. you'll never truly grieve. you'll become attached to a simulacrum, something that isn't your grandmother & never was; it will eventually replace her in your memory. you will live in hell before you die

how is this surprising if you've ever read a history book

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant. Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

The premier wasn't even there for the vote to eradicate rights for trans children using the notwithstanding clause for a fourth time. Marlaina is evil and cowardly, the worst kind of evil.

thank god for David's Tea Cold 911 I have no idea how I'd be surviving today otherwise

"Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan. The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter." www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

Um yes I have a question: WHAT THE FUCK???? LEAVE ME ALONE??????

“Smith, and her chief of staff, Rob Anderson, directly intervened with Alberta’s Advanced Education Ministry in an attempt to help Peterson’s higher-education business venture.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

Guillermo del Toro says he loved 'Superman' “I really enjoy the way James Gunn is viewing the universe ... when I saw ‘Superman’, you feel the healing power of goodness from someone that believes in it" 🎙️ Happy Sad Confused

I just... why is nobody talking about www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

"chatgpt my baby is crying what should I do?" "kill yourself"

So my shower head just rocketed off at warp speed and beaned me in the head and then I got hosed with a turbo jet of water coming out of the broken faucet in case you’re wondering how my morning is going

The truly depressing part of this ad is how misanthropic and miserable it is. "The holidays suck, wouldn't you rather just go to Mcdonalds?" To have a village, you must be a villager. But our society is controlled by losers who can't even handle the mild inconveniences of having people who love you

The number of icons is giving me anxiety lmfao

I'd take it up with the disability minister, but carney got rid of that too

cool just let me know when they're all dead

I love how when you ask the Amazon AI to transfer you to an agent it asks you THREE FUCKING MORE TIMES if you wouldn’t rather talk to the AI. No, I wouldn’t! That’s why I said agent. Jesus Christ.

🙏🏾I worry too. I'm an engineer because of École Polytechnique and December 6. I was 16 years old on that day, the day a murderer walked into an engineering class saying he hated women & killed our brightest and best in cold blood. His manifesto had items that sound like the hate I receive today. 1/

Roisin at 10 is FINALLY getting into Barbies thanks to her lil bestie and look at these super cute dolls i got them both for Christmas!

And the only people facing consequences for this excessive blunder will be the workers laid off. None of the decision makers will. Zuckerberg trashed enough money on an obviously stupid idea, that it could have solved so many of humanities problems. He'll remain rich and powerful.

tis the season

Just an absolute shit morning. I’m so tired.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

It is Saturday, Dec. 6, and there are multiple signature collecting events happening today for #OperationTotalRecall. So many different recall petitions are happening now that I cannot fit them in one post. Visit the link below to learn more. Albertans *will* make our voices heard. #ableg #abpoli

We have seriously got to move out of Alberta because what do you mean I can’t book vaccines online for my kids and also the phone booking system isn’t open on the weekend?

i can't believe it's 2025 and SPARTACUS IS BACK AHHHHHHHHHHHHH and they're doing a Gladiatrix plotline AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I create art that explores Black, queer futures through speculative ritual and the erotic. How do you think my work is going to be classified? I stand on the shoulders of queer pornographers and sex workers. We have to be in this together.

If you only fight censorship right up to the line where it becomes your definition of porn, refusing to have solidarity with pornographers, I can't find it in me to care about your problems. You've shown you don't care about mine and will bounce the moment you get what benefits you.

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

As a pornographer myself, I feel... weird about creators who make distinctions between porn and other adult/sexual content. If you defend porn, your work will ALSO be defended. Don't be afraid to get down in the mud with us. You're gonna end up here anyway.
