So lemme get this straight. Defunding important social services, privatizing public assets, building data centers, more soldiers more cops, obligatory census and they're trying to track us online. Thank GOD for the liberals can you imagine if there were fascists in charge.

Always, ALWAYS listen to John Waters.

Managed to get the scouting top from the raid finally :D Lotta snack pouches... #Hrothgal

building a society that lets you starve in the gutter but i'll be goddamned if you make fun of a white man online

the thing that's so frustrating about modern isekai is that isekais used to kick so much ass it used to be like, "Hitomi has been transported to Earth's SECRET SECOND MOON where there are beastmen and transforming steampunk robots" and now it's like "what if Wizardry was about fuckslaves"

Rapidly.

The position that billionaires “provide” for workers is misaligned. Billionaires -take from- workers. Labor creates; capital extracts. If billionaires disappeared tomorrow workers would self-organize and continue to produce. If workers all vanished, billionaires would have no labor value to steal.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is a Liberal for people who listen to what he says. He is a conservative to people who pay attention to what he does. And he is a fascist to people who read the legislation he writes. #cdnpoli

In less annoying news, got a walking cane today. Had persistent pain when walking or standing too long for a while. Used to be seasonal after the winter when I first moved in the sticks, buuut it's nigh permanent now. Cane helped keep walking through the pain, so pretty happy about that!

Seen a few useless boys (30yr+ boys) defending AI tonight and they were all the dumbest creatures on the planet. Y'know what, I don't think I'm ever forgiving anyone about this. They knew, they all knew. When they "oops, have egg on their faces" I will balefully drag their nose in it forever.

Le gouvernement Carney a fait le virage techno-fasciste à une vitesse que je n’avais pas anticipé. Personne ne veut de tes centres de données de 💩 #CdnPoli #stopAI #stopdatacenters

Sony's 'underperformance' is Bungie's miracle: aftermath.site/bungie-maratho...

It's true

Le Front Antifasciste Populaire vous invite à Faire du Bruit Contre la Haine !

it was a truly eldritch time. so much revolutionary potential in the george floyd uprisings, the socialist mobilization of the bernie campaign, peak hatred of trump. no wonder the liberals begged for brunch. they're the only ones who'd prefer this world over the one waiting on the other side

Happy 30th anniversary to the Internet Archive (launched on May 10, 1996). A staggering piece of history and technology that must be preserved.

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

Hell fucking yeah. I'm not gonna respect any fool who bitched about the guillotine, but rather see it as terrified squawking of those who know themselves guilty, in the event a real one is rolled out. All but declaring themselves conspirators of our robber barons.

Brings to mind the quote attributed to Thatcher as to what she thought was her greatest achivement: “Tony Blair and New Labour. We forced our opponents to change their minds.” Not an exact analogue, mind you, but still

Althia Raj is doing some of the most important reporting out there right now, exposing how Carney is dismantling any semblance of Canada’s progressive values. Pharmacare, child care, now the environment… Please, pay attention. He’s eviscerating environmental laws worse than Harper. Than HARPER!!!

Earlier today PM Carney proposed changes to major project decision-making which would put Canada’s environment, waters and most vulnerable species at risk in order to bulldoze through projects -- like pipelines -- without proper process environmentaldefence.ca/2026/05/08/s...

OpenAI was found to have violated Canadian privacy laws. But don’t worry: it won’t face any consequences because the commissioner says the company has changed its ways. 🫠

given the recent posting of the official strikes rules, I'd like to copy-paste my own version from a tumblr post I made the other day: Social media is simple: everyone gets three strikes before you're banned, you don't know how many strikes you're on, and trans women start with two strikes.

> No account is suspended or removed without human oversight. there you have it. every trans woman banned by staff was manual and not automated. someone on the team decided that a woman complaining about being harassed for her rape was worth being banned for and sent that out as an email

Hmm.

I don't really care WHAT you use AI for, what excuses you have, what allowances you make yourself. Nothing is going to magically get you over the hurdle of data centers ruining the planet and poisoning communities.

The Liberals wants to sell off Canada's ports and airports — strategic assets that will end up in the hands of foreign buyers. When the UK privatized Heathrow, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and China took major stakes. Will PM Carney protect our sovereignty — or sell it to the highest bidder?

Notre valeureux gouvernement fédéral utilise de la slop IA pour l'en-tête du recensement en ligne. Our valiant federal government is using AI slop to illustrate the online census page #resistAI #artishuman #AIslop #CndPoli

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer: “Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

In 1995 Tyra Hunter, a trans woman, was severely injured in a car accident. When the EMTs discovered she was trans they stopped administering care. The surgeons who were supposed to save her went around the hospital to grab friends to point and laugh at her as she laid dying in the OR. Tyra died.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

#TransRights #StarFox

Carney's the worst prime minister I've had in my adult life and I've had Harper! Fuck-ass capitulating spineless banker piece of shit. May his doom find him.

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

if ai ever works as it’s been sold to us, the most easily replaced employee of every company would be ceo and as far as i can tell theres never been a single article written about that

Its important to note we wouldn't be on this point so much if he didn't immediately ban the developer of a bot account that tracked his likes for it, and then only unbanned her after sufficient outcry. Its not like it was 'yeah, oopsy, my bad' and we're all being mean.

SO TRUE

What I keep coming back to with Musk and his fellow billionaire scum is that, even if they weren't actively killing people which they are, their individual wealth would be enough to solve world hunger which kills 9 million people per annum. They should be remembered as history's greatest monsters.

A message from Mary, a 72-year-old Amazon worker from North Carolina projected onto Jeff Bezos’s $120 million penthouse before tonight’s #MetGala, chaired by Bezos.

A polite way for trans women to say they are never going to do a thing: "ah yeah, I will do it after voice training..."

Alan Moore in the Observer Q&A today

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Past a certain point you really have to wonder exactly why politicians are so scared of people having access to the internet and talking to each other anonymously.

ça prendrait une loi d'expropriation contre ces propriétaires voyous que les municipalités reprennent les immeubles pour des logements hors marché mais des lois coups de poing, il n'y en a que pour favoriser les grands projets de grandes entreprises polluantes et riches qui nous coutent cher
