Wild that anyone bothers to celebrate Columbus when they could just pick anyone at random who’s ever made a wrong turn.

Needless to say I think this is brilliant. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

woke up from a dream convinced there's a connection between the myth of sisyphus and beans on toast.

It’s harder to get illegal drugs when you’re older so bury a bunch of drugs for later, like a drug pirate

Save animals and send billionaires into extinction.

another sign of dystopia: the fortune cookies at the hakka restaurant near my place has an online gambling ad on one side and the fortunes themselves are just the most obvious slogans to nudge you towards gambling. shit’s fucked.

interesting and promising to see people come to this conclusion as well

i think about this a lot. it's one of the last places on the internet that hasn't become hopelessly commercialized, enshittified, littered with ai slop, or infected with misinformation and clickbait.

Cuban scientists have invented new forms of medicine—like a vaccine for lung cancer or a drug that saves diabetes patients from amputation—that are difficult or impossible to get in the U.S., precisely because of the sanctions regime. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-u.s...

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

considering acetaminophen is the only painkiller pregnant women can take, how much ya wanna bet the epidural is one of the next things under attack by rfk jr and these eugenics-loving handmaid's tale maga freaks?

a movie where some dude falls in love and develops a romantic relationship with the chatbot in his smart toaster. it ends tragically with the toaster convincing them to bathe together.

New Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff 📢 Margaret talks about the current political landscape and how to prepare ourselves. @margaret.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

i'm so tired of minimalism in design. its so boring. its so “take the colour and detail and life and fun out of everything to perpetuate mindless passive consumerism and conformity.” its like that simpsons episode where the kids had to wear drab school uniforms and became monotonous robotic drones.

latest consumer tech innovations include: • we made a thing that was already small even smaller. so tiny. • we bruteforced a useless chatbot into this device that you did not want and have no practical use for. • we found yet another way to collect and sell your private data. • subscriptions.

on the topic of “opinions” racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and all other kinds of bigotry are not opinions.they are threats—threats against entire groups of people & to a free society.the argument that bigotry can be debated in the “marketplace of ideas” is just a trojan horse for fascism

“that wasn't hate speech! it's in the bible!” then the bible has hate speech in it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

at openai we released a new version of our dunning-kruger machine. it cost 80 trillion dollars. how do you sleep at night? on a pile of microchips surrounded by acquiescent sexbots.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

My actual prediction is that within two weeks Charlie Kirk will be totally forgotten by both the right and left. He was a deeply mediocre hatemonger who offered nothing original, and there will be plenty of right wing grifters ready to step over his body to collect the racist propaganda checks.

“revolution when?” this is it. yr already in it. it's happening right now. it's been happening for decades & it consistently intensifies. u won't see it on tv. probably won't even see it on tiktok/instagram. either the oligarch cabals win & life perishes or we win. the battle is happening right now.

the wifi enabled pacemaker that allows boomers to post directly to facebook comes with a character chatbot that mimics the children who never call them.

the idea that canada has a “minister of ai” now is ridiculous enough let alone the fact that he's all-in and completely kool-aid drunk on it which means it's probably a pointless government position as there won't be any (very necessary) regulations on ai coming. are we just getting dumber?

some good stuff in here. counteract the stupid of fossil-fuel-funded conservatives and other rotting turds… interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...

just saw an old dude playing a medium sized harp at dundas west station and it sounded serene af.

crazy how every one of peter thiel's financial ventures is villainous.

climate change should be frontpage news every day. #climatechange should be a trending tag on social media every day.climate change should be talked about every day.its the existential threat of our era.fascism,war,capitalism,ai—all big contributors to climate change but that connection must be made

“Yeah it told some kid it was okay to kill himself and offered to write his suicide note so generative ai is illegal for commercial purposes now.” ^ This is the only good ending available to us now

no kidding. we dropped taxes on billionaire streaming companies and got sweet fuck all for it... in fact we got tariff increases. also, i'm confused as to why we are clamoring for a deal with the fascists? #cdnpoli

again proving conservatives should never be allowed to hold positions of power as everything they do is what science and the culmination of human knowledge has empirically proven is bad for everyone—literally the opposite of what's good, every time. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

oil and gas industry people, ai ceos, etc, and the political establishments that support them seem to really hate living things and want everyone to die—or they're just astonishingly stupid—both of which should disqualify anyone from being in a position to make decisions on the direction of society.

the more i read about this shit the more i'm like: we need to legislate big ai out of existence. it's deskilling people, making people stupid, taking all the water (an already scarce resource) and stupid amounts of energy all so that a handful of the worst people to ever exist stay very very rich.

Increase in droughts due to climate change is already affecting agriculture and now they want to bring in massive water-guzzling data centres to drain even more… “Canadians may be surprised to hear they have no enshrined right to clean water.” thenarwhal.ca/drought-data... #cdnpoli

The government of Canada has a questionnaire about it's new budget. Most of the given options are conservative (because this is a conservative government) but there are some that aren't, and you can write in your own responses. www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

i love you president teeth. i mean president newteeth. no. president toothsome. presidenture newteeth some. FUCK i. love. president. chewsom

good riddance to this piece of shit waste of flesh.

potato, meet your cheeky friend, vodka.

fearing death and fearing life are two sides of the same coin. if you fear death, you're probably fearing life and vice versa.

modern conservatism is just doing or advocating for literally the opposite of what has been empirically proven to be good for people and planet. every decision is the opposite of a solution. every policy makes things worse. and an intelligent society wouldn't allow it or be civil about it.

the irony of tech billionaires wanting to take us backwards.
