I'm wondering if the film will acknowledge Maureen Sweeney at all. BBC News - Irish woman whose forecast saved D-Day dies at 100 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

This is intentional destruction of spaces of freedom of expression and gathering, of local businesses supporting each other, and of an industry that refuses genAI & occupies the knowledge & creative spaces that the auto-correct machine wants to take over.

Indigenous people from the Lower Tapajós have been occupying the Cargill port in Santarém, Brazil for almost a month. 1,200+ Indigenous people are protesting the destructive agribusiness’ planned river dredging that threatens their land, water, health, and way of life instagram.com/reel/DU8fdO7DW28

Reminder to Canadians interested in such things that the NDP leadership debate is in a couple of hours.

Virginia Guiffre didn’t live to see her rapist and abuser arrested. For years it was her word against “Prince” Andrew. She never backed down. She never stopped fighting for all survivors. Thank you Virginia for your courage. May we get every last one of these predators.

Gang. GANG. LLM DETECTORS ARE ALSO LLMs AND PRONE TO THE EXACT SAME ERRORS. STOP USING THEM.

Narrator: it will, in fact, work, and is completely right in principal and practice.

Every single time.

This "why does the left hate AI?" thing is like when the right believes protests are paid for by George Soros; they need a SECRET CONSPIRATORIAL AGENT because they refuse to believe that, actually, a lot of people are independently looking at what AI is being made to be and saying "ok that sucks?"

I know liberals see this as "Yay! Building up that majority! Bleeding Poilievre dry!" But for the rest of us, this is a huge red flag. These people ran on a platform of hate, xenophobia and fear mongering. What does it say that they feel seen by the Liberals right now? Yikes.

It’s annoying how Silicon Valley tech lords have swindled the public into associating “technology” with the surveillance and IP theft driven spyware they insist constitutes the real innovation economy. Their gadgets and LLMs pale in the face of mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, solar, wind power, EVs, etc

His name is NAZGUL!

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS WEIRD MEDIA NARRATIVE PIVOT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT A.I. IS DOING TO CODERS I WILL NEVER USE THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT TECHNOLOGY WILLINGLY WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I TRUST ANY OF YOU WHEN YOU TELL ME "THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT"

My colleague Tobias Wiggins is holding this amazing seminar series on trans methodologies at McGill! Please spread the word!

Watching my country speed run a military industrial complex claiming it’s to fight fascism instead bostering profits to arms companies and imperialism, has been an enlightening process.

Swiss Olympic bobsled commentator broke a century of neutrality and spent the entire run of the Israeli bobsled team recounting all the pro-genocide remarks and social media posts by Adam Edelman, one of the apartheid state athletes. Absolute legend. More of this in sports please!

I show this in almost every single class I teach to demonstrate the simple values behind the dignity of all people and how at odds our culture's norms are to the idea. I have cried over how hard it is to believe myself when I repeat after Rev. Jackson, "even if I make a mistake, I am somebody." RIP.

Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting. You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻‍♀️

except it won't stay in our accounts, since we'll need it to pay for groceries. So this is just an indirect way to give our tax money to wealthy corporations. Meanwhile, important jobs and services are cut.

10/10 no notes. 100% correct.

RIP Robert Duvall, thank you for teaching me at a very young age how terrible rich people are for workers

This is so real. Writers: Take note! These scammers are everywhere & getting better at seeming legit. I've received similar messages & yes, AI is to blame but so is the publishing industry which puts more & more pressure on authors to do all the promo themselves.

Spike Lee showing up to the All Star Game supporting Palestine when an IDF soldier is playing on the court is exactly the energy we need

From Hamdan Ballal, co-director of last year’s Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.” This is happening now.

Let’s talk about the COVID pandemic. Canada has greater social cohesion than the United States. More Canadians were willing to adopt public health measures than Americans. The net result was fewer excess deaths – more Canadians are alive today because we look out for each other.

the Black Panthers were right

This is terrible. The vast majority of urgent asks from Palestinians I see now are medical. And this will make it worse

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign.... funded by automakers because their cars were killing pedestrians So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

It made NO blip on this godforsaken site, but a few days ago numerous news sources broke that the Gaza Civil Defense had reported that around 3,000 Palestinians had partially or completely evaporated from US-manufactured bombs. Well, today, they adjusted that number to 7,820. #Gaza

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

I rarely share messages like this one, but this is true info (that I didn't know) and important. 📞9-8-8 is a phone number (in Canada) that helps people get help in a mental health crisis. Similar to 911, this line is dedicated to anyone in need of mental health assistance of any kind.

The failure of states to grapple with constantly increasing socio-economic inequality is the root cause of the turbulence and violence we are seeing. Authoritarians & populists prey on those who have been hurt most by growing disparities of wealth, claiming they'll help while just stealing more.

In regards to what’s going on at the Berlinale film festival, here is footage of Godard & Truffaut shutting down the 1968 Cannes Film Festival in solidarity with students workers & protestors getting brutalized by police in the streets, & probably Godard’s best line about film criticism ever

I really need Quebec to find a holiday between January and easter because this place is too cold not to have a long weekend during that time.

Wim Wenders in 1988 vs Wim Wenders in 2026 (when asked about Palestine)

“The fact that this tragic event in #TumblerRidge immediately inspired calls for restrictions on gender-affirming care and trans rights at large in Canada should raise huge alarm bells for trans people and our allies.”

Um so any queer Indigenous language nerds want to have a discussion about ways to modify Algonquian pronouns for use in English? Because I have increasingly been using wiya, but as you already know, our possessives are attached to verbs and nouns and aren't stand-alone. So like...wiya's?

not all heroes wear capes

Please check on the trans people in your life today. The anti trans rhetoric is everywhere. Those on the right are purposefully stoking fear and division in an attempt to destroy an entire marginalized group. We can’t let them get away with it. Trans rights are human rights.

Please sign this petition. If Canada truly respects human rights and the sovereignty of every nation, we must put our words into action. We must provide aid to Cuba. We must uphold the right of self-determination of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

When Steven Harper brought in multiple damaging legislation hidden within the Omnibus bills people were outraged. But when they elected the Liberals next, the Liberals didn’t reverse any of the legislation that they campaigned on and that people had taken to the streets on.

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

More people should listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

you have to be looking at LA last summer, Chicago in the fall, Charlotte in the winter, and Minneapolis now if you are worried about ICE. You need to know what they’ve already been able to get away with, and how they are escalating

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

this is why I will never hear an ill word spoken about this magnificent instrument

For those following the Red Ogre Review saga, he has made good on his promise to change his licensing terms...by doubling down. On left: the original (awful) license. On right: the new license, mostly the same as the old license, but with some additions that I've circled in red.
