Campus radio stations are the lifeblood of underground music in Canada and elsewhere. The conservative scourge on culture continues apace.

“Dreck” is apparently Yiddish but I still think 100 of the people who use it are Gen Xers.

not a great start to the day… a battlebot got under my feet and flipped me

He looks like he’s trying to stop his dog from leaving him

Are we in a game of chicken to see how far a handful of freaks can push things until we bring back consequences and / or guillotines? How have we hyper-normalized them saying this shit out loud in public?

At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.

I got hit by a car once and bent its windshield pillar with my face. I wrote the car off and all it cost me was my health and mental wellness for the next uhhh. How long has it been? What was I doing?

What if we razed every Data Center to the ground and salted the earth where they stood

Hey.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Oh, so now it’s a crime to bring your whole self to work

Bullying people who like it.

"That's a problem for me. You see, I wanna make my software freely available to everyone in the world except those guys specifically. That very particular bunch of autocratic corpo-states are actively destroying the world I'm trying to pro-socially enrich as a commoner."

Attn: @jonkimball.bsky.social got a bad boy of the week here.

Uhhh, YEAH guys. They’ve got motorcycles.

Can you imagine caring about beards this much? Like press release level caring about beards?

I love that we’ve managed to have powerful computers in our pockets while people are turning to, like, poultices and other medieval trickery. Just the dumbest fucking society. Totally bewildering. I personally blame mark zuckerberg.

One of the things I hate about it is that every time I feel anything, I have to start a little spreadsheet in my mind of which symptoms MIGHT be imaginary. You’re always kind of working backwards.

"My kids know me as this ape"

Librarians told 404 Media they're being inundated with new pitches for AI library tech and catalogs are being flooded with AI slop books. But more broadly, AI maximalism across society is supercharging the ideological war on libraries, schools, government workers, and academics.

Hundreds of students & faculty members in Canada have faced repression for speaking out Israel's crimes against humanity and genocide. @drsabreena.bsky.social and I and several others lost their jobs. And now this U of T. I don't know what to say anymore.

This is 100% right but also it’s not impossible to have a coworker for whom a piping hot bag of hot dogshit isn’t an improvement on their normal productivity, though.

That the James Baldwin typebot exists only tells me that its creators need to be duct-taped to windmill blades. If you think James Baldwin would have liked soulless predictive text based on his works, you certainly haven’t read any fucking James Baldwin.

Steven Pinker should be forced to listen to his own opinions blasted through megaphones directly at his home and workplace 24/7.

I’m so fucking tired.

you might think this is funny but someone out there didn't get their shipment of monkeys today, someone was going to make a big ol' batch of herpes monkey stew for all their friends and now they can't

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

There should be a Hague just for the people who work for ai companies.

That didn’t take long.

Let’s check the ol’ pain machine and see what fills be with despair today…

I beg the pundit economy to consider what free speech is supposed to mean and not just this “people get mad when I say it” strawman stuff. Please. You’ve got a president who has said out loud, “so we took away their freedom of speech” wrt flag burning. Freedom ≠ no consequences.

LMAOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE NEW XBOX HANDHELD COMES WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS AND ONEDRIVE INSTALLED??? this is the fucking goofiest company in games

@pedgehog.bsky.social oh hey it’s Peggy!

It’s so nice that our current choices are a neoliberal, forever-austerity, anti-labour group of blazing centrists or these fucking conservative losers drafting tight against the wake of emergent fascism. Cool stuff. Fucking love that for us.

Love the tough guy act from a group of people on campus who don’t even do their jobs if it’s raining.

At UNB, professors and students were surveilled for Palestine solidarity because, per campus security, the university is the President’s “house.” “If I tell my kids my kids you can’t do this, I don’t need to write it down… He’s the President and he can set the rules.”

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I don’t know what else to expect but this is a good indication that no one needs to listen to the Digital Alliance.

Lmao Jesus fucking Christ. It’s gas leak the regime.

Elbows down.

CNN can fuck all the way off.

trans rights are non negotiable, this man is trash

Incredible evidence that will be summarily ignored by federal, provincial, and municipal governments for, I’m sure, generations while they do things like dump more money into rent-a-cops and harassing the houseless.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.
