"Cognitive surrender" is a fascinating concept to think about the impact of AI as it exists under reactionary tech Preventing people from thinking for themselves and imagining different worlds is a godsend for authoritarians thenextweb.com/news/wharton...

I don’t want to send emails, I want to be happy

We need to audit the VPD.

i’ve just learned that thora birch came out as bi this year. all my famous lady crushes (especially of my youth) keep coming out as bi. i can’t stop winning.

Capitalism is a waste of human life and consciousness

People who keep pointing out that golf courses use as much water as data centres as some sort of defence of data centres drastically underestimate the amount we also hate golf.

people love to say "agree to disagree" in discussions they're objectively, measurably in the wrong about

haha i like how whenever there’s a big lightening flash or extra boomy thunder i can hear people in the distance go “woooo!”

saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again

The insanity of the world summarised in two headlines on Canadian wildfires whose smoke is billowing across continent into the lungs of 100 million plus ppl: "Wildfires threaten Canadian oil sands" "Three major US cities top world’s worst air quality rankings" phenomenalworld.org/analysis/glo...

hell yes! but i'm also actually shocked abc didn't just automatically vote it down for being 1) for the arts 2) put forward by a non-abc councillor and 3) actually good

These photos of FNs community members fleeing their homes by boat are genuinely apocalyptic (Photo via Wayne Wastaken of Collins, Ontario, who says his “hometown is gone”) www.facebook.com/share/r/1ArN...

wildfires have become typical every summer and our governments want to axe climate protections, build pipelines and data centres, and allow old growth to be logged they do not care about us or the land, they care about profit

worms (wip) 🪱🪱🪱🪱 this piece is for a show i'm doing this summer about decay

i let out a bisexual gasp when i found this thrifting

Reboots are growing stale. How about a double reboot?

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

(big thread I recommend reading before switching clients just so you are informed about things) witchsky.app/profile/phos...

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

Councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social has a motion to regulate AI data centres! Read the motion here: council.vancouver.ca/20260715/doc... And if you have concerns about data centres in our community, sign up to speak at City Hall below! #vancouver #vanpoli #NoAI #DataCentres #BigTech

“Lineart” (2024)

i’m convinced that the only reason sim was for pedestrian granville was so he could shovel the pd a bunch of money to let cops stand around in groups of 4-6 doing absolutely fuck all. meanwhile, city staff layoffs continue and city facilities that need maintenance/upgrades get nothing.

Dude I saw you autosave before walking up to me whats up man we cool

Heat waves. Thanks to @climateadam.bsky.social's most recent video, which helped inform this comic and gave me the kick I needed to make it.

17/20, and the ones that got me were the ones i was wavering on. this is a good quiz, and you get some tips out of it too if this is something you struggle with!

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

In 5 days, our federal petition to reign in the corporate push for AI has already reached over 3400 signatures! Please share it widely, and sign if you haven't yet. We need to put power back in the hands of communities and democracy. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #vanpoli #canada #NoAI #DataCentres #BigTech

i realize there are bigger fish to fry, but i wish they would re-engineer bananas that taste like the extinct ones that artificial banana flavouring is based on

humans have known how to construct a shoulder seam for thousands of years, but with AI, we are unlocking untold new ways to fuck it up

If you think Jaws is scary for not really showing the shark, you should check out spielberg's other films. they don't show the shark at all

i haven’t touched any of my film cameras in so long and they all have partially used rolls in them and i have no idea what kind or when from 😬

had never seen this one and it's killing me

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

i was on emily st. john mandel's wikipeda page, noticed she's married to someone new, looked it up and came across this article from a few years ago about not being able to update her own wikipedia page. hilarious way to address it, 10/10. www.businessinsider.com/emily-st-joh...

I consider it a violation of my personal human rights to have to look at an ad at basically any time
