PIKER: what if I shot luciano pavarotti with an arrow with a boxing glove on the end of it BlueWaveTodd1975: unbelievable. this could kill someone.

Brianna Wu is mad at me on Threads because I shared her video as "the JK Rowling Pickme fan club."

Most annoying RPG design discussions can be split into reinventing a known thing and insisting you didn't, and asking for advice when you really want a forum to celebrate self-recognized cleverness. I told a guy he could render his question simply and test it. Boy that made him mad.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

Another politically driven case that's falling apart because the bias is no longer fashionable. They were hoping for the tolerated illegality we used to jack up Meng Wanzhou for Trump. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Using AI hallucinations to reiterate the tired argument of "you claim to be a socialist yet you have an iphone" is not the flex you think it is

Ukraine's reward for licking Netanyahu's boots as petty co-belligerents against Iran.

Re-upping in light of this latest report: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Hmmm. For those who don't know, Rosedale is one of the wealthiest postal codes in Canada. It's a mood in there, for sure.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

make sure you choose a password that contains capital letters, numbers, and special symbols so that someday the data broker who purchases your info can go "ooh good password" after your login details are inevitably leaked in a data breach you can do nothing to prevent

“Cleaning up the risk pool” means letting sick people and old people and disabled people die. End of. There is no other meaning here.

Politician’s homes are 💯 % fair game for protests.

Babylon 5 has a very 90s approach to personal boundaries. Sheridan is making inoffensive small talk about work and his sister immediately goes, "You're just doing that because your wife is dead. It's been two years, get over it!"

Why has, while letting Claude do 99% of his job, become entirely unable to deal with normal human interactions. It's flensed his skin to the thickness of any billionaire freak's, completely unable to handle stuff like "this person is disagreeing with me" or "they aren't praising me"

A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them. Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.

Jack completely underestimated the overlap between "people who make the internet run" and "tranny furries".

imagine sitting on a potential challenger to the current bloc of social media platforms people are on but dislike for various reasons and going "no, no I must burn through my userbase's goodwill as fast as possible because I'm too bitter that funny trans women are more popular than AI dweebs"

hello to everyone else included in the "anti-ai ai haters" blocklist the technical advisor of bluesky just followed 🫡 it's an honor just to be nominated

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill. HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

Oh so you want to defund the police? I cannot believe the gall. These brave and women put their lives on the line for you every single day. Well not you specifically, or that democrat lady, or those schoolchildren.

Oil companies are set for $90B in windfall profits while the bottom 40% of Canadians hold just 3% of wealth. I asked the Liberals for a "Yes or No" on a windfall tax & gas price caps to stop the gouging. They gave me a non-answer about "tools." Canadians need relief, not "reviews." #cdnpoli

"Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet" is a Chinese folk saying to describe the behaviour of certain fools. The reactionaries in all countries are fools of this kind. In the final analysis, their persecution of the revolutionary people only serves to accelerate the people's revolutions

The European Court of Justice has ruled that Hungary's Orban-era "anti-LGBTQ propaganda" law breaks EU law and violates the fundamental rights of EU citizens. This clear ruling should help the incoming Tisza party government of Peter Magyar repeal the laws. www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...

🚨 BREAKING: 25+ of Canada's leading rights orgs, privacy scholars, and legal experts just delivered a joint letter to Parliament. The ask? Kill #BillC22. The reason? It would be "the most expansive invasion of Canadian privacy rights in modern history." 🧵 openmedia.org/press/item/c... #cdnpoli 1/

The EU had yet another opportunity to redeem itself of its moral bankruptcy on Israel. And once again it has failed to do so, with Germany and Italy predictably blocking the suspension of the EU-Israel agreement. Shame 🇮🇹 🇩🇪

If British Columbia can make Eby back down on UNDRIP, and Ontarians can make Ford back down on the jet, and Nova Scotia can make Houston back down on the budget, then Albertans can make Smith back down on gerrymandering. Organize, friends. #ableg

Babylon 5 is a nasal fan chat about its era of SF that rises to occasional brilliance mixed with a Yiddish comedy about a Russian aristocratic exile and his excitable Bolshevik neighbor.

Japan on Tuesday scrapped a ban on lethal weapons exports, a major change in its postwar pacifist policy as the country seeks to build up its arms industry amid worries over Chinese and North Korean aggression. https://to.pbs.org/41MNWrm

I mean we ignored that Harper was a member of a pro-Apartheid white supremacist organization and was a liaison between the Reform Party and Nazis in the 90s so I doubt this will stick.

Why hasn’t the @ndp.ca & @avilewis.ca demanded a Canadian investigation?

At least 17 people have died in ICE custody since January.

If we talk about state linked individuals sex trafficking minors then as I mentioned before we'll have to have a chat about how CSIS helped sell children to ISIS as sex slaves and we all blamed the victims. www.bbc.com/news/uk-6272...

Both Iran and the USA want to end the war but the sticky issue is not Hormuz per se. it’s how to get Iran to agree to terms it finds acceptable, given its upper hand, without Trump losing face.

The estheticization of politics is the fancy term. Since fascism is a crisis state within capitalism it doesn't really have any fixed praxis and it needs to be contradictory because it exists to solve a contradiction through disruptive action. It can't do that, and thus (1/2):

When the boys leave the door open as you're dropping racist bars about the Turks.

I do. If you live in the west bank, you are under Israeli control and have no vote. If you live in “Israel proper” as an Arab you have fewer rights as well.

Sad to see this ingratitude towards the Democrats for enabling the killings of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza. Please give credit where it's due.

The brother of federal Industry Minister, Mélanie Joly, is the president and CEO of Intelcom, a courier company that exploits subcontracted delivery drivers for pennies per package. It stands to benefit mightily from the dismantlement and privatization of public postal services in Canada.

For those of you who aren't tuned in, this a call for genocide against disabled people.

Kindred: The Embraced is cheating, of course. Strikeforce: Morituri is the answer that sounds cool but lots of people like it. Hmm.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called for economic reform to address HIGH LABOR COSTS, energy prices, taxes, and SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Merz looked at the billionaires ripping you off, and he decided your Wages, Pensions and Benefits were the problem. Germany vote him OUT.

It's always something when you go, "Hey that's not news, it's propaganda," and you get a response that's, "Well I *like* pretending it's news." Which is sort of the centrist equivalent of moaning "fake news." Being a Leftist in the Marxist sense and needing material evidence is a disadvantage...

The President of Hungary won an election and the process for removal requires an allegation of illegal conduct. Orban was bad, sure his friends are bad, but maybe don't give up on democracy right away eh Europhile cowboys?
