The future is unwritten and we should act like it.

. @mark-carney.bsky.social has been disappointing on several fronts but this rush to sell off public goods is particularly upsetting.

I liked it

I really resonated with this Murderbot book because Murderbot keeps having to walk extremely far distances due to annoying urban design choices.

Happy May Day! Remember Covid is a worker’s rights issue. It’s a social justice issue. If you want to fight fascism, you need to invest in public health and protecting your community. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Fight for paid time off.

I am convinced this is why so many bros are so into chatbots

Happy May Day!

The single most important thing to understand about tech futurism is that, when Anthropic’s predictions turn out to be wrong, they don’t have to give the money back.

The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute. Here's how he repays them. This is what happens when you think you're using bigots. They're always using you.

Canada Post lost $2B last year. For comparison: - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs lost $9B - The RCMP and Correctional Services Canada jointly lost $10B - The Department of Employment and Social Development lost $100B - The Department of Finance lost $150B

PUBLIC 👏 SERVICES 👏 COST 👏 MONEY 👏

How much did the police make?

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

On first dose of ADHD meds and I'm sorry have you people been walking around just able to "concentrate" and "do things" your whole lives you sons of bitches why was I not informed

I am old enough to remember when teens _having_ babies was the moral panic

You just never realize how stupid living through the formation of the Church of England would have been

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

why is there a doge bro ass man child on my space boat livestream

IMPORTANT ARTEMIS II HOT SAUCE UPDATE Thanks to Carlie Kollath Wells’ reporting out of Axios New Orleans (which I confirmed via email since there are two versions of the article out) …. WE HAVE OUR LIST. It’s these 4 pictured, plus Heinz Hot Taco Sauce! www.axios.com/local/new-or...

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

Like I mean, look at it. We get to _live_ there! All the time! We're there right now!

oh no the toilet is no go

So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it: International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.

all those who fetishize growing up in the 80s/90s seem to forget all the awesome emotional suppression, deep trauma and mental health devastation.

i haven't been a windows/outlook user since 2011 and i get the shakes even remembering it. ETs are gonna pick up on the signal of NASA troubleshooting outlook in space and conclude rightly that our planet must be destroyed before we can deposit that pathogen on any other astral bodies

learning that astronauts have to use microsoft outlook in space is unspeakably depressing. we have set microsoft outlook free from the bounds of earth. polluting the stars with that janky piece of shit

if i am honest, striving for technically correct hasn't really paid off for me sure enough you can fend off the most pedantic mastodon reply guy in advance but then you're left with the reply guys who don't read

i'm so sorry we've sent these souls to the moon and they're using outlook?

If I were on a mission whose computer system required me to deal with Microsoft Outlook in space, I’d give up and go back to the slide rule

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

If a job requires more than 50 hrs/week to do, it is in fact more than 1 job

The only conclusion you can take at this time is that Doug Ford loves kids (and adults) getting hit by cars

it’s too late to make any improvements now

Javert realized that being a good person was incompatible with being a cop and immediately threw himself off a bridge, an inspiration to law enforcement everywhere

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact

Absolutely essential* watching from @theabigailthorn.bsky.social. Educational, entertaining, heartbreaking - and through it all, a powerful call to informed action.

it's hard not to keep coming back to the fact that they could simply have Not Done This they could have not bombed Iran! the strait would be open! we wouldn't be staring down a massive global economic crisis! none of this had to happen!

Antizionist Jew here to say explicitly: they're gonna kill Jews over this. American Jews who have no ties to Israel. And some of that blood will be on the hands of Jewish zionists who allowed themselves to be used as shields by Christian Nationalist Zionists.

Poppers

Are you also impacted by the brightness of motor vehicles lights at night? Transport Canada wants to learn more. Have your say and provide feedback here. #VisionZero tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...

I think you probably can't understand modern America and recent elections without understanding that: 1. evangelicals have more kids 2. they vote 3. they sincerely believe that all the Jews have to be in the Holy Land in order to trigger a big war & all convert/die so that Jesus will return

“Spring in Canada is so beautiful” says woman about to experience months of grimy dirt snow on the side of roads

They're good oils, bront

8/8 The fact that Platner is obviously a guy who has a Nazi-adjacent past--tattoos, Blackwater, history of racism--and is now running as a leftist is a BONUS for these guys. To them, it's not a red flag, it's proof of concept. They can't tell you that, though, because they know how that sounds.
