By both of us supporting Trump's illegal war.

Love this album dearly. Totally transports me, despite and also because of the lo-fi recording of quality. For those unfamiliar with Martin Newell/The Cleaners From Venus and his anarchist-leaning DIY pop music from the 80s, this is a great introduction. Really happy to be able to have it on CD.

Right now, you can relatively easily create a somewhat-anonymous account on platforms like bluesky, reddit, etc. and post information that's critical of the government in relative safety. Forcing everyone to submit to a face scan or associate their government ID with all their posts? nightmare.

the worlds not over keep taking your meds keep taking your HRT keep scheduling surgeries keep talking to friends keep eating keep sleeping the worlds not over you're still needed

Our next game is Verminsteel! You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

"Oh, Well"ness.

late night

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Pleasantly surprised this morning to find an accurate discussion of RSD in a major newspaper! 🙌 #ADHD (Although I'd prefer it wasn't titled a 'rise' lol, it's always been here). www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff. For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2069...

A short film about endometriosis has won a BAFTA, bringing much needed visibility to the disabling condition. Endometriosis and adenomyosis robbed me of years of my life. Countless surgeries, blood transfusions and hospital stays. Doctors saying it was “no big deal”. It’s a very big deal:

The “AI boom” makes more sense when you recognize that it was just when oligarchs decided to recklessly, dangerously expand the use of predicative algorithms into every facet of society in order to further control our lives, and rebranded them as “AI” because they needed gullible investors to do it.

Canada does not just have a housing crisis. We have an incentive crisis. First-past-the-post shapes who politicians need to please to win. And that distorts housing policy from the start. Here is how the electoral system makes reform harder. 1/10

With all of the mogging and the maxing I don't want to hear anything about how unrealistic slang is in science fiction media ever again.

Being pressured to “move on” when you’ve never truly healed from abuse is to know your life is a crime scene others are trying to cover up.

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

As Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly focuses on US president Donald Trump, behind the scenes he is doing big favours for corporations by easing safeguards and other regulations. #cdnpoli @lindamcquaig.bsky.social rabble.ca/columnists/w...

People who fashion themselves as tech geniuses have a disturbing predilection for a "thought experiment" called Roko's Basilisk. All they've done is reformulate the notion of God's final judgment into something that sounds technological but is in fact fundamentally theological.

The world order is in good hands, the rising socialist power is uhhhhh going directly after labour organisers and unions in other countries www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

Every time someone describes Schumer or Jeffries as "confused" or "spineless" is to frame Dem politicians as a real source of resistance to Trump rather than as enablers, normalizers and force multipliers. This gives cover to Dems' gleeful participation in fascism

Anyway, the reason Stancil and liberals like him are being lifted up by the establishment is because they do not represent a threat to power - as the wheels fall off this ramshackle fascist movement you're going to see a lot of pressure to ensure that Nothing Fundamentally Changes.

Strictly speaking, you don't need to be in prison to make toilet wine

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Came on this in researching next book. Theory: people who assume parents used to love their kids less ‘because they might die’ have had easy lives. Never assume something can’t be true just because it would be unbearable. ‘Bearable’ and ‘possible’ have no relationship. youtu.be/I13SqLXssFU?...

calling people “AI skeptics” is like calling the people who exposed 18th century snake oil salesmen “Medicine Skeptics”

this is true for every city and town in canada. and including the RCMP. seems like a problem

Bill 137 "forces teachers in Saskatchewan to tell parents if a student under 16 asks to go by a new name or pronoun." "Saskatchewan Coalition to Repeal Bill 137 [..] is gaining momentum. The event in November had a packed venue." #Saskatchewan #Canada #Education #Labour

It's easy to be concerned about vaccines when you stop being concerned about viruses. You can only stop being concerned about viruses in a world with vaccines.

There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded" Continue to cancel Nitro and migrate elsewhere

"Police arrested at least one demonstrator Friday outside the office of Montreal-based private security giant GardaWorld, which is reportedly helping staff the Florida detention site known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”"

"If the only way to identify concentration camps and name them, if the qualifying criteria must be that they have already lain at the heart of a genocide, what good are these conversations at all? Are we really honoring the memory of the dead by sacrificing the living?"

Me and another car were trapped inside of a car wash bay for about 45 minutes. Why, you might ask…because it’s run by AI and it got confused when we both braked at the same time and it shut the entrance and exit doors. No panic/alarm buttons, but another customer alerted someone to let us out

Many comparisons have been drawn b/t Israel's Apartheid regime & Homeland Security's immigration blitzes. I found a direct tie: the second-in-command for the LA, Chicago & Minneapolis surges served as CBP's FIRST liaison to Israel Only at Bleeding Edge ($$) bleeding-edge.ghost.io/operation-me...

Pay attention to the Prairieland case. By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.

We've prepared a zine version of our text "Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities," describing the dynamic and resilient system that people in the Twin Cities have developed to keep the pressure on ICE. Please print and distribute! crimethinc.com/zines/rapid-...

Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was. For example 🧵

The UN released a scathing report criticizing Canada’s treatment of disabled people and expansion of assisted suicide. What did Canada have to say for itself? Not much. @spichaksimon.bsky.social reports on Canada’s silence in the face of criticism from the UN and disability advocates.
