This fuzzy criminal's government name is Flip Elizabeth Flop. Flipperton J. Flops the Third, Esq-Why-Are-You-Like-This is his longest and most ridiculous nickname.

brb calling my dad to ask if this is what it's like to have a stroke--

FYI - AI is now auto-enabled in gmail by default. Here's how to turn it off: www.tumblr.com/imonthemooni... #fuckai #allmyhomieshateai #googlewtf

"People are mad that BlueSky won't allow them to make death threats." No! People are mad that BlueSky's AI automod regularly gets it wrong, moderation decisions/ penalties are seemingly arbitrary, and the moderation team has terrible comms.

if your moderation team bans someone for a harmless unactionable exclamation of disgust, but permits a govt account to say stuff like this, you need a new moderation team.

Me: I'm not that tired, I could write Also me: picks up tube of toothpaste to use as soap

As someone who enjoys the original, can we fucking find new stories instead of wringing every drop of nostalgia and dopamine from the ones that were fine on their own? Please?

Bluesky suspended a journalist/author who deals in facts and research about authoritarianism, but Jesse Singal is still on here with a content warning when you click on his page. ... Yeah, I'm sure that's fine.

For everyone who needs to hear this today: dogs still exist.

Having seen people in my workplace try to use AI to translate text into a language I speak.... Jesus titty fucking Christ, this is a bad idea.

Any week that sucks for Poilievre is a good week for meeee

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

As a Canadian, I feel like telling New Yorkers what to do probably works about as well as telling Quebecers what to do up here.

the horrors are, indeed, horrible but eating butter chicken helps

I was just becoming more politically aware when he died and MAN, do I wonder what my twenties what've looked like if he'd lived.

Let's make sure we understand something, that billion dollars on AI is just a write-off. Because AI is going to go tits up, and then Carney will have to find a new basket to put all his eggs in. It doesn't create jobs. The only labour it creates is the work of cleaning up after it.

Cannot express enough how much I do not give a single solitary fuck whether we get to be part of Eurovision. What's our way in? A monarchy that protects predators? PASS.

MISSING: The NDP's spine and morals. If found, return to Jack Layton's gravesite, no questions asked. #cdnpoli

ding dong, the dick is dead

i cant believe theres still a whole month until hockey is back

A last picture of my derpy pumpkin, as it’s starting to decay. Soon it’ll be gone forever. RIP. #kpopdemonhunters

don't be like me, kids. if you have a headache at 5pm, don't wait several hours to take painkillers for it 😅

look, i have neither read tolkien nor watched the movies and i STILL KNOW there's no way in this life or any other that he'd be on the same side as the masked assholes deporting people.

some people might do paganism seriously, but i do things like refer to Big Deal Deities as "Father, Not Daddy Gods" and y'know what, i stand by it

hadn't bought concert tickets in a while. fixed that. can now confirm ticketbastard is still the worst part of buying concert tickets. if you can survive that you're golden!

I'm 35. Came out as bi at 23 (because that's how long it took me to realize it was an option), and I was 28ish when I figured out the gender fuckery enough to say I wasn't cis. Still haven't really put a more specific label on that, though agender works. Figure yourself out in your own time.

'try Copilot in Teams today!' I hope you choke

It is extremely exhausting that this works. Fuck Doug Ford and his inability to be a decent human being on the first try.

Less shocked by the ignorance of Irish political history than by the clear implication they never read @seamas.bsky.social's seminal "accidentally taking ket in front of the president" thread.

To capture an oaf, you have to be able to think like an oaf. Doug Ford was born for this

I miss the days of early Bluesky when we all agreed that putting screenshots of ragebait losers from other websites on each other's feeds was totally Bad and Uncool and behavior Best Left Behind

Doug Ford’s office has already received over ten thousand emails in the last 24 hours, saying no Bill 60, which would enable landlords to renegotiate leases every year, and refuse to renew without cause. Acorn Ontario is calling this proposal “Ford’s most dangerous act” and they’re right #onpoli

For Canadians living in Ontario... Doug Ford, the Premier, is planning to shred tenant protections. Do fill this out as it'll email Ford, your MPP, Associate Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing, and the Attorney General for you! acorncanada.org/news/doug-fo... #Canada #Ontario #Tenant

If your values don't apply to everyone, they're not your values. They're just a favor you do for people that you like.

A great many of the (wonderful) stories about Ireland's (wonderful) UBI plan for artists tend to bury if not duck completely the hard cold fact that it was funded largely by Google's billion-euro settlement of tax-evasion charges. TAX BILLIONAIRES RUN THEM DOWN LOOT THEM IT WORKS

what if.. i wrote a hocus pocus inspired spicy romance between a long dead witch and the lonely human who brings her back to life? what then?

.. would y'all believe me if i said i didn't realize until now that my new name lends itself well to halloween names

Hey Niagara, far be it from me to tell y'all what to do, but... Maybe don't elect this guy. Not that libertarians are known for winning elections, mind. (Thankfully.)

CANADIANS! Tell the government you don't want them to replace 30% of the government workforce with AI that will only make backlogs longer and outcomes worse and more racist! Link to survey 👇😤👇

Derry Girls did a whole thing on accepting a queer friend and then Saoirse-Monica Jackson does this. Come the fuck on, y'all. You accept all of us and put us above a pay cheque, or you accept none of us and admit money matters more to you. You don't get to do both.

we can't get back the men we've 'lost' to these horrific ideologies because we never had them in the first place. it's been 84 years but dorothy thompson still says it best at the end of 'who goes nazi," which you should read if you haven't. the link: harpers.org/archive/1941... . the quote:

It's Diwali proper, so I'm going to use this opportunity to port over one of my favorite threads from the Other Place to tell the story of why this holiday matters so much and why i get choked up every time.

Preaching to the choir here, I think, but it bears repeating:

every now and then people with no experience of divorce ask if i wanted my parents to stay together and sure, maybe, for a while, when i was a kid, because that was what i knew but they are SO MUCH HEALTHIER apart and i have seen so many miserable kids because people won't split up

Got my filthy little gremlin hands on a copy of NETTLE & BONE yesterday and now I'm excited 😁
