Anyone else entering a stage 2 drought as every major politicians and corporation are celebrating the mass AI data centers they're about to build that will consume the water we don't have to spare?

>"But the stock market is up-" And that means absolutely jack to me when you can juice the value of a stock through buybacks. So long as that persists, then the Stock Market is completely divorced from anything resembling the economic health of the country, and may in fact indicate the opposite.

“AI is here whether you like it or not so you need to get used to it.” No lmao Fuck you. According to who? This dogshit talking point is what people who stand to profit billions off it tell you. I don’t need to do shit, no one is forcing me to deepthroat something, if i don’t like it I spit it out.

"The about-face came down to text messages that the Ministry [...] had been ordered to disclose, but didn’t." Funny how that keeps happening around here. The Crown's allowed to know whatever they want about you, but if you want to know their reasoning behind a decision, Radio Silence and censure.

BusPatrol plans to scan the license plates of all vehicles the school buses drive past, and then let law enforcement search that data—turning the buses into roaming surveillance vehicles. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Read @josephcox.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/buspatrol-pu...

When you are getting the hard sell for anything, you are usually in the process of getting ripped off. Keep that in mind re: AI.

Imagine how those like myself who worked with Canada's Ministry of Natural Resources on actual climate mitigation programs as far back as 2004, only to see successive govts tear down most of our efforts. Myself and others quit in droves in protest.

gianmarco soresi is a gift but we cannot allow public perception of furries to merely shift from “we accept them because it’s not a sex thing” to “we accept them because they have a lot of money”. uninhibited self-expression must be regarded as unilaterally permissible

when they do this, then any LGTBQ content can be rated obscene and thus not available in bookstores, games, websites, except in porn with an age gate. it means pride flags are illegal. it was in project 2025, a document that everyone said was hyperbolic and unlikely but is being done to the letter

Thinking about how Marsha P. Johnson, whose body was found with a wound to the back of the head, was immediately deemed a case of suicide by the NYPD. Her murder has never been investigated as such, to this day, over 35 years later.

#OtD 23 May 1908 Annemarie Schwarzenbach, bisexual Swiss German photographer, writer, anti-fascist and androgynous style icon was born. Annemarie rejected her pro-Nazi family and began financing anti-fascist media and photographing the rise of fascism stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9587...

"The Alabama Solution." Prisoners are used for cheap labor in Alabama. This is not reeducation or rehabilitation, which they deserve. Instead, they are paid less than min, they take half their pay, and they replace workers. Judges and courts are incentivized to give long sentences and deny appeals

from the moment it was founded activists and human rights watchdogs have warned that DHS was constructed to be an almost unaccountable private paramilitary force at the president's sole disposal.

Working in social analytics for many years (before I quit for reasons JUST like this) this was the start of the end in 2016. Less and less did clients want to know about how to make something organic and sincere, that spread on its merits... But instead "how do we brute force this into being viral?"

saw this image and i now want to draw a grumpy lion... so cute lol

This is a newly processed view of the largest volcano in the Solar System, Olympus Mons. It's 21 km tall. It's as wide as Arizona. Metropolitan LA fits inside its summit caldera. Its basal cliff is 7 km high. And it started to grow ~3.5 billion years ago but has lavas only 2 million years old.

Racists need to push a story that Indigenous people are stealing white people's houses. Sound familiar? It's one of the leading causes of the growth of the far right movement. The final boss of projection. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Things that happen IRL while people focus on creating callouts about other people for things much less evil like shipping weird things or having a differing opinion once.

people who pretend to be moderates in 2026 are just too cowardly to admit they're conservative or they want the social benefits of being liberal while maintaining their shit politics

Last Reskeet: Dude, I'm so tired of being told by folks that it's unreasonable to believe that conservatives should be ostracized from queer and kinky spaces. Being one of these people shows a deep and severe failure of character. God damn.

There’s a man on threads who implied that MS FRIZZLE is straight. Do people not know the lore?!? She was voiced by two lesbians & it was heavily implied in a 1997 episode that Ms. Frizzle used to be in a relationship with Molly Cule. Gal pals, lived together, she still has their joint portrait, etc.

I don't normally get so serious on BlueSky. And I don't normally share fundraisers. But if I am, you can be sure it's something that means something to me, or because it's important. #Fundraiser #GoFundMe #GenderAffirmingCare www.gofundme.com/f/bk425q-hel...

And what they "inadvertently" left out was evidence of collusion between the ministry and the cops. Whoops! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mark Carney thinks the Habs in the Playoff is going to distract us from his bullshit If the Super Bowl is cover for empire The Stanley Cup is no different We see you, Mark

Upston claims $1k a week in parliamentary accommodation allowance – $52k a year on top of her $320k salary – while jointly owning a Wellington apartment with no recorded mortgage debt. She declined to answer whether she would meet the 40% threshold she is seeking to enforce for other NZers. #nzpol

I must once again repeat this: Most people are on social media for hobbies, to be goofy and enjoy talking to friends. They do not need to be challenged or jolted out of their bubble or engage with fascists. Pundits desperately need to interact with normal people because they how no idea

Oh cool my LG TV got a software update that occasionally shows ads from Instacart unprompted so while I’m playing with my Switch hooked up it’s asking me if I want deals on pizza. Smart TVs are a mistake.

before today, there were very, very few people, if anyone, that people would rank as the greatest living jazz musician higher than Sonny Rollins. there will never be another one quite like him. RIP and thank you so much.

It’s especially wild when you consider that international students are a multi-billion l-dollar export industry. If you’re worried about balance of trade … (Yeah, they’re not actually worried about balance of trade …)

In the UK, US, and Canada the demonization of international students has been going on for a while: Liberals in Canada, Labour in the UK nor the Democrats seem to care or want to pretend to care. I mean, they can't be arsed to protect higher education in general, let alone international students.

On yet another issue: As in the US under Trump, in Canada under Carney. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Nearly every single creator involved in the Tenet scandal is more popular and has more access to the US government than before
