Oops all fash

Whoever thought this was a good idea should be keel-hauled. I didn't appreciate fascist Yankee jets flying over my home. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

This is literally the setup that allowed Jim Crow to be a decades long racist regime of apartheid while modern moderates lament the lost comity of the Senate. This is literally a politics of white reconciliation which we’ve already seen.

I don’t think a label will do it, you have to have critical thinking skills already, the labeling system is itself biased and doesn’t address the issue and can lead to a narrowing of sources

An article about how we shouldn’t demonize immigrants would be marked as “left” or “centre left” because I guess the fair treatment of your fellow human has a built in political bias right?

@gandersocial.ca mediabiasfactcheck is basically some American's blog. It is not reliable for assessing media bias. At minimum its left-right orientation is centered around the distorted American Overton window that positions everything to the left of Margaret Thatcher as far-left.

I hate the entire idea of marking news sources for having “ideological bias” because first off, Says Who? Calling the CBC “left” at this point is a dated perception based on conservative whiners and not a fact, and it lets the hard right media in this country (which is legion) off easy

2025: We can’t elect Poilievre! He’ll just copy Donald Trump!!! 2026: Mark Carney discusses how he’s copying Donald Trump 🫤

Fireworks technicians have an extremely stressful and complex job, good thing the trump administration isn't known for constantly picking the absolutely least qualified guy for literally every single task

So this is interesting because, before NAFTA, the idea that Mexican manufacturing was principally for Mexican consumers was... normal.

So anybody feeling some regret over stanning this conservative banker so hard because he showed up in a hockey jersey to say orangemanbad before he was elected?

New form of corporate sabotage: uploading massive multi-page PDFs and converting them to .pptx.

Spider inside a wild rose.

The reason why racists have such a hatred for "race traitors" is because white people who adopt explicitly anti-racist stances put lie to their whole mythos. They need it to seem like "white" is a monolith or none of their bullshit makes even a lick of sense.

Science fiction authors: banks hire teams of genius mathematicians to develop next generation trading algorithms. Reality: trading bots watch Reddit for keywords and then buy Palantir based on Onion articles

ROTFL

The sun works everywhere. You don't have to propose idiotic ideas.

Here's my deranged One Piece take of the week: Hody Jones is a pretty open stand-in for Narendra Modi.

There are two voices in your head. One is singing this sign to "Closer," the other to "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me." A third voice off in the distance has begun overlapping them with "Eraser." The walls of reality are bleeding. The universe begins to lose all meaning. There is only bear.

We’re going to see more and more of this and it will be tempting to mock such customers as suckers and fools but this both a corruption of commerce itself and a cruelty towards people who hope for things new and delightful. Literally punishing people for dreaming 😡

I am once again begging people to just fucking block Will Stancil.

In the CONTEXT of having misgendered a trans woman and refusing to apologize, claiming she's using her pronouns to trap you is transphobic. And ADDITIONALLY it is generally transphobic to claim trans people use their gender/pronouns as a means to trap/deceive you. Like transphobia 101.

Smash these nuisance bots.

Some Wikipedia editors, upon hearing that they might face social pressure to show solidarity with WWU should a call for protest actions come down from the union, have taken to being loud and proud scabby the scab rat.

I rewatched this movie recently and, of course, the best gag in the whole film is that Michelle Yeoh's character is, in fact, the eponymous supercop while Jackie Chan plays, as is his way, an affable clown with a tendency to accidentally catch falling women directly on the breasts.

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

See the only cinema in their hometown is a 1970s era porno theater that has managed to stay open as a money laundering front for the Gay Mafia.

So much of what makes a movie like Possession great is the erotic faffing about that has almost nothing to do with the plot and has everything to do with a pervasive aura of sexuality that underpins the psychosexual elements of the theme.

I just saw somebody refer to Thunderbolts as "surprisingly great". I would call it "surprisingly adequate" myself. I haven't seen a "great" superhero in many years. Some good ones (Superman and Supergirl) and some decent ones (GotG 3, Thunderbolts) but great? Nobody is out here making Burton Batman.

This narrative during Pride month was absolutely intentional. The corporate media is fully in for fascism and desperate for you to agree.

All these batshit book takes: if you write bad things, you support bad things! If you write sad stuff, you are bad for infecting readers with sadness! Skip prologues! Read only dialogue! 3rd person too harrrd! I refuse to believe any of this is real. These are not readers, they are rage farmers.

Boy, I wish we could all just ignore this sort of cyclical thing. It’s never in good faith.

Tell me that The Matrix Revolutions works without the sex scene / dance party orgy. Just try it. I will fucking go nuts.

Anyone have a boat? PEI is in a pretty good location to raid New England for Yankee treasure.

Canadian sci-fi: How dare you call this sci-fi? Do you see rocket ships? There are no rocket ships therefore this is can-lit, not sci-fi. Don't you forget it. Not sci-fi. But, yes, I will be panelling at Toronto Sci-Fi Literature Con this year.

The filthy scabs sure are getting loud about Wikipedia editors announcing solidarity with the WWU.

Es chistoso porque es verdad.

Yo quiero jugar el juego de mesa Viticulture y bebo vino rojo y comer hamburguesa.

He refuses to enforce the Canada Health Act to protect trans children in Alberta and queer people promoting him are endorsing that.

Why are all the CHUDs camping for Fujimori so hard?

Whatever is on the speaker I just improv lyrics to make it about my cats and how much they want breakfast

Letter of marque never goes outta style.

Class action lawsuit or just return to the old ways?

i wrote about this once in the context of people being racist to the chinese but it’s crazy how much of social media is unpaid uncritical propagandists

Just what nobody wanted: an even longer version of Avengers Endgame. The Russo Brothers must be stopped. They are bringing shame to the sibling-director niche.
