My polite and effective way of saying this is this screenshot and a heavy handed but gentle stare at…quite a few of you.

“This is the time where we need to strengthen Canada’s sovereignty, not weaken it by forcing Canadians to rely more on international corporations to receive vital goods.”

this is the same woman who went crying to the police when someone knocked her phone out of her hand because she wouldn’t stop filming the bleeding victims of the charlottesville car attack. on the scene of a mass casualty incident, feet away from a woman’s dead body, it was all about her.

I had a dream that I dropped my iPhone and the back cracked open to show 4 AA batteries and an iPod nano, I don't know what my subconscious is trying to tell me

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

I’d prefer that Wired, and journalists generally, not normalize facial recognition search. This added little to the story and just teaches people to go out and use these tools, which Wired is well aware can have harmful consequences. From: www.wired.com/story/califo...

hello can I interest you in the most beautiful cat in the world

all day long I‘d biddy biddy bum

knock-off javert-ass motherfucker

every 24 hours Donald Trump activates The Substance and the withered old hag who loves starting wars goes to sleep, while the beautiful young lad who only cares about the Kennedy Center and redecorating the White House awakens

Happy anniversary of this not happening

I forget where I first read this take but SV really did invent a machine that can write software, the thing that makes them feel like the smartest boys, and concluded that therefore the machine must be a super genius, as opposed to that writing software isn’t that special

good evening to the basque fishermen of 1609 who liberated their female relations from the witch hunt and I do mean only to the basque fishermen of 1609 who liberated their female relations from the witch hunt

The Doug Ford gov't has passed its 2026 budget bill, which officially removes Ontario's right to know. How he governs, why decisions get made—we'll never know. The same bill consolidates conservation authorities. That's your democracy & your drinking water being impacted #onpoli

the fact that we live in the sam altman timeline instead of the aaron schwartz timeline is a not insignificant part of how and why everything sucks rn

this is devastating www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

there are many reasons Canadians who obsess about US politics annoy me, as a Canadian who was formerly obsessed about US politics, and chief among them is OUR GUYS ARE SO FUCKING BAD FUCK THIS DOLLARAMA DICTATOR ASSHOLE

Ford’s PCs vote to end access to political officials’ records

I’ve been a @showuptoronto.ca subscriber for aaaages, and I’d recommend it to just about anyone. Even if you’re not in Toronto! I think Jenny’s writing is invaluable for activists and organizers, regardless of where you find yourselves showing up.

This week’s @showuptoronto.ca is in your inbox! Some thoughts on distractions and gravy planes and paying attention to freedom of information act changes, plus a bevy of earth day events this weekend buttondown.com/showup/archi... #toronto

Amazing that anyone’s brain is infantile enough to believe that tech overlords who would burn the world down before they would pay taxes and who don’t even want you to have healthcare or mail delivery really want to see you get a big check every month for nothing.

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist. Embarassing.

last reskeet: not the point but all those whiny baby complaining about “bsky doesn’t have the juice” when AOC gets 2k likes in 10 min at 11pm on a tuesday night…….

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Anand when a Canadian woman is killed by a random gunman in Mexico: I will move mountains to discover everything related. Anand when a Canadian man is killed by Israel in Lebanon: Damn this sucks. Let's make sure we all stay cool in the future.

if your huge all-maga audience doesn’t understand they’re being “scammed” by your openly right wing content, that means they’re enjoying it, and you’re just a maga influencer now, great job!!

Inspiring: Guy Uses Al Slop To Help Spread Racist Xenophobic Transphobic Propaganda But It's Okay Because He's Making Money Off It And That Means He's "Tricking" MAGA Maybe there's a stick up my ass but I think this shit sucks and it’s not funny at all. There’s no “trick” if you’re just doing it

It is important to keep in mind that a lot of the natalist panic in the West is in response to a successful feminist push to reduce the rates of child rape. (Teenage girls are statistically most often knocked up by adult men. I think the average age is around 23.)

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

On April 4, TPS entered the lobby of Comedy Bar moments before the start of a fundraising event for Gaza. That same night, cops entered a theatre at TIFF Lightbox midway through a screening of 'Palestine 36.' I dug into this concerning trend for @thegrindto.bsky.social.

An issue that's coming up often in organizations, in both group and one-on-one meetings, are norms around the use of AI note-taking tools. While there isn't one right way to use these tools, *if and how* we do warrants attention. I'm holding a short session on the topic Fri May 29 luma.com/eclgzpj1

BREAKING: Claude Mythos discovers 60-year old computing bug, PEBCAK, that's been silently plagued the tech industry for years. It suggests resolving it by eliminating the entity in the middle and replacing it with a more efficient model.

petition to rename the toronto raptors (named for a movie craze with no relation to canada, dumb mascot isn’t even a raptor it’s a t-rex) to the toronto raptors (the bird of prey, many of which are native to ontario, the mascot could be a great horned owl which is fucking beautiful, go birds)

organizing goals

What a lot of centrist dad types like in the nested quote screenshot mean by "non-violence" is really "non-disruption". They mean a bland A to B match, cordoned off and permit-approved, where no-one does anything challenging or forcing anyone to notice them.

sure my cottage is flooding for the second time in 12 months and the basement is under seven feet of water imminently threatening to drown the electrical and burst into the main level BUT I figured out my slack integration bug (it was an incredibly stupid env var mistake) so who's really out ahead

me: can I have a 64 bit int js: no. you can have a 64 bit float that pretends to be a 32 bit int or an infinitely big number that performs like ass. do you like this

3 white men in their 20s attempted to lynch 3 Black men for....fishing last Friday. The only reason it's an attempted murder charge is one of the Black men was armed and a better shot. It's not about the year someone was born, it's about the racism www.wcia.com/news/edgar-c...
