Doing everything in his power to smite his invisible enemies.

I know I’ve been posting a lot about this, but it’s telling of how this government looks at society that at the very moment Mark Carney can’t stop talking about nation-building projects, he’s throwing the biggest nationwide service-delivery network on the scrap heap because it doesn’t make money.

The more I watch myopic growth goblin neoliberals take the austerity axe to everything good for society, the more I realize they’ve chosen to scaffold the infrastructure driving many to embrace fascism. Why support people when you can fast track discontent with trivial profit gains?

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada. "Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Lol we made a discovery layer that lies to you, it's a learning experience "the team has worked hard to minimize such results, but they can and will surface. Importantly, these moments are opportunities to learn more about both the technology and user expectations."

Extremely excited to kick-off a new webinar series on “AI” with guests Chris Gilliard & Christa Albrecht-Crane. This session won’t be recorded so sign up now & join us for a deep dive into what we’re really talking about. Happening Thursday!!! #edusky #academicsky #skybrarians 📚

If you’re looking for a Halloween costume here’s a free idea and you can just have it. Walton Goblin.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

It’s criminal that the word “blasts” has taken up such prominence in modern journalism but no one has seen fit to bring back “boffo”.

Here is the deleted report in it's entirety: web.archive.org/web/20250911...

I've seen trans ppl promoting this piece several times today, but I haven't seen a single cis person linking or praising it. It's the same old thing, an article is written FOR cis ppl but ABOUT trans ppl and yet for some reason the cis folks to whom it's addressed seem to not notice the piece.

It’s simple: - News bloopers - unlikely animal friendships Everything else fuckin SUCKS

Side effect here is that it would also be illegal to be a bouncer.

say it all plainly. it shouldn't be hard or controversial. this is this man's legacy www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Political violence has long been normalized in America. To think that America is somehow above it is goofy behavior.

Everyone is all, “this is a Franz Ferdinand situation that’s going to make it all pop off”, and I’ll remind you that this vitriol has existed for literal decades for as little as “a woman talks about video games.” They’ve already been violent. The escalation was already happening.

I don’t know how you can bring yourself to say something like this and not realize you’re a villain. I guess it’s just generations of being conditioned to hate? Just like. Jesus fucking christ.

wazzzaaaa dude happy birthday lol 😝 hope you’re having a good one wish i was there Also we all know the secret we share. Into the depths of darkness men like us tread. The hunger that drives us away from the light.

My latest newsletter is about how a credulous media and a trusting society emboldened Big Tech to do serious harm. And it’s about why these companies don’t deserve our trust or our forgiveness. whatwelost.substack.com/p/the-benefi...

Remember when record labels bankrupted teenagers for downloading Metallica?

It’s nice as a person with anxiety to be offered up so many new and different reasons to be worried. Worry opportunities. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY VARIETY IS A SPICY GUY.

the more you learn about genAI, the less likely you're to use it!!! www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-a... I've repeatedly said in the past that meaningful change to the current disastrous reality is via combating big tech narrative & rhetoric and critical public awareness, which enables refusal/resistance

And, is he related to Constable Big Mac? Are they the same species? And do either of them feels especially menaced by the hamburgler?

Neoliberals are just a runway for fascism.

It’s all bad, I think.

One thing that is so dispiriting about our present moment is how so much is going to just keep getting worse and new students and faculty won’t know what they are missing only the misery of shitty AI and overworked people trying to hold things together with nails and duct tape

Our data stewards have started recommending that we no longer use US-based infrastructure for #openscience practices, given the risk of (near-future) censorship, from pre-print and data hosting to preregistration and more. That includes OSF.

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

I think 182 year old research articles should be free I want to read about the man

oh

It is deeply selfish to settle this case, as surely most of the AI copyright lawsuits are going to be settled. The fact that the vast majority of lawsuits in this country are settled before tech giants face any real or consequences is such a travesty www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Lmao “new”

You can’t be pro-Union and also shill for ai in schools. It’s just not coherent. We all know how dangerous ai is to people’s brains, the environment, and to the artists whose work was stolen to train it. Shilling for ai makes you a SCAB

wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.

I refuse to say “skeet” because, where I grew up, “skeet” is a cum word.

This thread is really worth a read. Matthew has done the hard work not only of diagnosing the problem but of providing a potential solution in "detokenizing" the classroom. Suspect this would involve a period of loss and mourning if implemented, but it might save learning.

lol. Lmfao, even. In a shocking twist, the latest NB government also doesn’t know what libraries are and library workers do.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

If I could take a shit on the desks of the Springer c-suite, I’d fucking do it.

In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.

Imagine not knowing who does labour.
