They are obsessed with civility, the problem is, their idea of civility is based on Silicon valley techbros, so they won't let you come out and call somebody an asshole but as long as there is the thinnest veneer of "I'm not saying that" you can tell somebody to die in a ditch

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger. I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca

leave courtney love alone and start asking questions about erika kirk

Fuck it, let's send Cuba aid ourselves. Help establish the flotilla headed for Cuba and stock it full of supplies and much needed help!! act.progressive.international/flotilla/

2016: In 10 years we'll have a man on Mars 2026: In 10 years, we'll have a city on the moon 2036: Today we honor the memory of SpaceX founder who took his own life

Ominous bird valentines.

I am pro worker, pro union, pro maker, pro artist. I am anti boss, anti Nazi, anti fascist, anti billionaire, anti oligarch. I believe in reading, writing, education. I don’t believe in a robot voice coaxing you to kill yourself. So yeah, I guess I don’t want ChatGPT to write a fucking email for me

Amid the scapegoating of the trans community, it seems like no one is talking about how the Tumbler Ridge shooter was a neonazi, watched gore and murder videos constantly, and glorified mass atrocities and school shooters. Online radicalization needs to be addressed. The young people are not okay.

Fucked up, we all know the correct way to watch Ninja Scroll is late at night on an nth generation VHS bootleg, the volume one notch above mute and your finger on the Source button at all times

I don't care if it's useful for bosses. I'm a union man.

Eliminate all border restrictions to the free movement of people. Grant automatic citizenship upon request to all residents regardless of how they came to be in the country. These are serious policy proposals; I am not being hyperbolic. We should do this in Canada.

The blessing of Nicholas Cage is that he will both take basically any job for money and will also deliver about the same amount of effort for any job and so you get wild swings whether it's an indy darling movie like Pig or an amazon/sony slop collab like Spider Noir.

sorry, you guys are gonna have to work this out without me

Probably Loghan Paylor.

He said, very loudly, “don’t worry I got it” with the confidence of a man about to be rushed to the hospital

follow me for more "i went to trade school with a guy" stories that include: serious personal injury, fellas being banned from places that sell cheap chicken wings, and getting a classmate invited onto Jerry Springer.

Transphobia is an early warning indicator of incipient Naziism.

The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch are the first group of legally licensed sex workers to unionize in U.S. history (!!!). Their new union website states their demands as “safety on the job, better working conditions, and control over their own futures.” unitedbworkers.com

Another day, another round of cuts due to austerity forced on us by Prime Minister Goldman-Sachs, a real man of the people.

Found one of the folks involved with the CWA and unionizing of Sherri’s Ranch. The demand that they own the workers IP is insane. We saw this over the summer in LA landlords saying they own all content made in an apartment. This is that but escalated All power to the workers including SEX WORKERS

Candace Owens is a remarkable case study in patterns of brain rot. Resentment and antisemitism pushed her to the far right only for her to discover they're a gang of disloyal vipers whose response to the death of her (only) friend was to extract all the money from his corpse and then forget him.

Read a book or play Doom, I don't give a shit what feelings you think a spreadsheet has

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

This is the first thing I learned about Highguard. Obviously I will not be buying it. I hope the Wildlight developers unionize.

This last Saturday I started doing push-ups each morning right after I get out of bed. It really annoys my hungry cat so that's incentive to stick with it.

The financially strapped city of Toronto can save $100,000,000 by scrapping the $94,000,000, police budget increase and clawing back and additional $6 million

Yes, the amount of e.g. "lit fiction is old white men writing about sleeping with their students!" comments certainly has no bearing to the contemporary literary world to anyone who has even glanced at like what wins awards or is published in 2026 bsky.app/profile/gran...

This is a "Charlie Brown had hoes" style of post.

Betty, you're supposed to take TURNS.

#Canada we know where the rhetoric around mass shootings will go; we've seen it here and next door. The anti-Trans bigotry is constant, but expect it to get worse in the wake of this shooting. Look out for your friends and push back at hate wherever and whenever it's encountered.

Replaced it with a plaque that seems to be designed to look like a scroll. LOLOLOLOL

I've mentioned elsewhere that genre authors who question free will aren't even asking the right question. Here's a couple of more interesting questions for them: * What is will? * How is the experience of free action affected if will is constrained by a biological or chemical facticity?

Unsurprisingly the MLA who released the transphobic statement is a member of a fringe party of freaks too conservative for the Conservatives. It's CHUD town.

I finally got a post labeled as rude. I was calling out a racist statement a person made as racist. @moderation.bsky.app I'd rather be a rude anti-racist than a polite racist. FYI.

Big Booze is astroturfing this “smoking marijuana WILL make you schizophrenic” stuff because people are drinking alcohol less now that weed is more common. I get that, as a known marijuana user, it’s not exactly beating the psychosis allegations to claim there’s a conspiracy, but

no.

Every single person I've argued with on here about antisemitism has been a BE fan. Every. Single. One.

ROTFLMFAO

Or, indeed, ha, the oeuvre of Gene Wolfe.

The older I get the clearer it is that "intelligence" is an animal thing that requires a body. Reducing it to language games or mathematics was always a mistake. Language games and mathematics are products of intelligence, not their definition.

READ IT, GODDAMMIT.

With those dumb little spiraling arrows pointing out from the tombstone to various fan fiction tropes

Sick of everyone pretending there’s “intelligence” here. We have no idea how intelligence works, we have no concept of how to recreate it, but we know damn well that it doesn’t just come into existence when a typewriter has pounded out enough words in a chain.

This is just nonsense, the New Yorker helping Anthropic out with some marketing. An LLM cannot plan, it doesn’t think, it’s not reasoning, it generates a sentence in a moment.

sigh

I swear they're trying to build up casus belli to invade Mexico next.

I have to wonder if contemporary sci-fi is so unpopular because the current mode is a kind of centrist liberalism that hardly anyone (except I guess Chuck Schumer) wants. It is an ideology that has failed to meet the needs of the current moment and most of us are leaving it behind.

Over the last couple of years the foundational claims of the impending AI revolution have honed in on “It can create new software apps autonomously” and I’m sorry but I remain skeptical that the creation of new software apps is the bottleneck on total social transformation.

watching hundreds of democrats on here SUDDENLY shocked by the thermobaric bombs dropped in Gaza, things that Palestinians have told us were happening for 2 YEARS, and immediately use that shock to blame people for “not voting for Harris“ because this “wouldn’t have happened under her”
