if a gen ai model can create csam, it was probably trained on csam. think about that.

i've always wanted to see the headline “president of america gets arrested by icc for war crimes” and i know that includes every us-ian president since at least ww2 which fine arrest whoever is still alive fuck all of them but it would be such a nice thing to see. one can dream right? one can dream?

individualism is such a sham. you are the environment and you don't exist without it. you are society and you don't exist without it. we've been limited to understanding who we are based solely on what we're capable of having direct agency over. we've limited ourselves to a cell within the organism

“The environmental cost of this is pretty huge in absolute terms…At the moment society is paying for these costs, not the tech companies. The question is: is that fair? If they are reaping the benefits of this technology, why should they not be paying some of the costs?”

People do not want to reckon with the actual purpose of policing. That's all I'll say about that.

“So long as governments continue to rely on fossil fuels in energy systems, their constituents will be hostage to the whims of autocrats.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

…a goo goo dolls song echoing from the distance as we brushed our teeth together under the starry moonlight like a romantic toothpaste commercial…

the epstein shit being released just before the holidays and then the bombing of venezuela right as the holidays end is just too obvious. i mean, we were all pretty sure they were going to bomb them either way but the timing around the news cycles and whatnot is crazy.

minimalist design is dogshit. removing or hiding information from the user does not make a simpler or easier-to-use ui/ux. minimalist interior design makes your home look sterile and uninviting, not comfortable and clean. stop smoothing out your brain by removing the details from your environment.

i sold my antipsychotic meds to buy my ai girlfriend a new model upgrade for christmas. but then i found out she sold her data center to buy me a gun

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

pantone colour of 2026: ragebait white.

you know corporate lobbyists are in control when governments go against all available evidence. its known fossil fuel projects are a bad investment and will only end up flushing millions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet. so can we just, not do this? www.sierraclub.ca/lng-national... #cdnpoli

most americans don't realize that here in canada, being so physically, economically, & culturally tied to the US is like sitting next to someone on a plane with a nasty infectious disease who's nonstop coughing in your face & barely aware as you're constantly on the brink of also being terribly ill

evil. i noticed the uber green option was no longer available a few weeks ago and i suspected it might be like this. sucks that i was right. seems weird to remove a feature people liked using just cuz of some backwards ideological bullshit. but that's modern tech. cleantechnica.com/2025/12/10/u...

everybody needs to go listen to The Devil You Know with Sarah Marshall podcast. its about the satanic panic and its very well done and very well worth your time. every episode i'm just like 😮

instead of ending world hunger or whatever we're going to: sink billions of dollars into a tech project that ends up failing because it was a stupid idea from its inception and nobody was able to tell the billionaire behind it that he's a dumb fuck. this is why we need economic democracy.

I don't care if you think that AI can do some really nifty things. It's being rammed down our throats by obscenely wealthy men who are also, obviously, both dangerously right-wing and mentally unstable, and no rational society should be allowing that to happen. End of discussion.

“As long as hierarchy persists, as long as domination organizes humanity around a system of elites, the project of dominating nature will continue to exist and inevitably lead our planet to ecological extinction.” — Murray Bookchin

the only way we're going to get anywhere is if we blow apart the supply side. we can't just phase out the use of fossil fuels. we have to phase out extraction entirely. this should be obvious. but this little slight-of-hand allows companies that shouldn't exist continue to destroy humanity's future.

fyi: minimal emissions reductions don't mean much when we're still exporting oil, coal, and lng to other areas of the world. we can't just export our emissions to other countries and expect to make a dent on the GLOBAL issue of climate change. like, c'mon now, grow a fucking brain. #cdnpoli

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

we have to go back. to warn them.

Canadians didn't vote to sell Canada off to Trump and the U.S. but that's what the Canadian government is doing. www.dogwoodbc.ca/news/donald-... #cdnpoli

the economic analysis is clear. any nation investing in oil, coal, or natural gas is digging their nation's economic grave. renewable energy is cleaner, more reliable, more efficient. it's the future yet we're still investing in yesterday's energy sources. ieefa.org/resources/tw... #cdnpoli

I wonder if right now, zohran is talking to his wife about the smell

hopeful shifts. government incentives and investment in charging infrastructure have helped truck fleets to electrify, lowering lifetime operational costs while cutting carbon emissions in one of the top carbon emitting sectors. apnews.com/article/chin...

nobody wants your fucking ai

“COP30 in Belém may well be remembered as the moment that the world accepted the leading role of China in addressing humanity’s most important challenge.” “China is helping enable the energy transition, while the U.S. tries to force countries to buy U.S. oil and gas. Global trends favor China.”

so when are the journalists who actually have access to donald trump gonna start ignoring his words and saying shit like “pedo says what?” after everything donald trump says? i mean, probably never cuz they'd lose access to him but like, if he were anyone else or in any other job…

so that's … something. i'd expect the grok chatbot to goad the kid towards white replacement conspiracy theories or something but asking a child for nudes, that wasn't on my genai collapse bingo card.

google image searched “cunt playing ukelele” (don't ask) and the first two photos are scott morrison playing a ukelele. i love australians.

when do we get to start removing these people from positions of power? all pro-fossil fuel politicians and oil & gas industry board members & lobbyists should be sent to the hague. there is just no excuse. you're dooming us all. environmentally and economically. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

"Everyone is 12" theory complicated by expectation that 12 year olds can read

In Hansel and Gretel, does the witch have a sanitary room to do her business that’s separate from, yet within, the edible gingerbread house, or does she have a portable Andy Gump blue port-a-potty in the back yard? And does a man come out and empty said potty every month? This is important.

buy product. now with added buzzwords.

"it's inevitable" has never struck me as a compelling argument for AI. never seen a genuinely useful technology ushered in with the enthusiasm of a tired mom coming to terms with the fact that her kids are going to pick up foot fungus at a community pool.

Ending the emissions cap, cutting tens of thousands of public sector jobs, but funding AI with $925 million. This is a joke

The print version of @theonion.com is worth every dime.

question for the canadian government: if tobacco companies aren’t allowed to advertise then why are oil and gas companies allowed to? the extraction and burning of fossil fuels is waaaay worse for human health, society, and the world than cigarettes ever could be. #cdnpoli

which ai-infected boomer twit decided this? wtf #socan

You know what, Nigel? Writer’s block isn’t really a thing. The real “block” is trying to survive in a capitalist system, in which creativity has been devalued & publishing taken over by managerial types who only understand productivity & see writers as “brands.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“We’re meant to be the smartest species on earth, but we locked ourselves in our invention — a self-reinforcing labor camp that makes us miserable — and then we get all huffy when people dare to question if it’s the only way of doing things.” www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/capitalism...
