This woman contracted polio as a child about two years before a vaccine became available and spent much of her life in and out of an iron lung to survive. I truly can't fathom anti-vaxxers who seem happy to resurrect these diseases. people.com/the-last-us-...

"bluesky is so empty" bro I posted on a message board for a whole decade until there was like 4 of us left you can't scare me

Solar energy just provided more electricity in the US than coal for the 1st time on record. So, spending $700 million to bail out the coal industry is like throwing a lifeline to a ship that has already sunk. All the president’s men might not be able to put the coal industry back together again.

I'm sorry but I just don't understand how this is supposed to be worth a bazillion dollars

"lite-rape" was not a phrase I ever expected or wanted to read brb, going to the woods to find some bears

Sometimes I’m like I can’t run for office because of the shitty books I wrote when I was ten and this guy’s like hi, I’m a serial killer

When I was 10 years old I navigated my mom through Edmonton at night using a paper map to a family member’s house. I had never been to the city before that.

Ok got my article ready about how Google sucks and is killing the internet with its AI policy, all I need now is a header image that won’t immediately make me look like a chump

I met Stephanie on Twitter, and she recognized me when she did a site tour of our workplace. She was a great leader.

Not only did Grok help create CSAM of an 11 year old girl, but it protected her predator, her stepfather who trafficked her images to other predators.

BREAKING: Meta says it plans to build its first Canadian data centre in Alberta, investing more than $13B

funny how the cutting edge of the far right is just regurgitated slaveholder agitprop from 1850.

Jason Kenney, a man who once bragged about his role in ensuring gay men couldn’t see their dying partners in hospices during the AIDS epidemic, is trying to tell me how to help families desperate for healthcare improvements: privatization. Lol. Lmao, even.

This is pure rape culture. Even in Grim's description, Platner's conduct is indefensible and nonconsensual. She said she "needed her glute massaged," not that she wanted Platner to do it. And she specifically "[told] him not to [come over]." That's the opposite of consent.

One thing I miss about old Twitter was being able to say "AR stands for Assault Rifle" and having a bunch of gun nuts look up your home address because they were so mad

The Conservative Party of Canada spent $100 million trying to convince Canadians to vote for Pierre Poilievre last year They lost the election and ended the year with a $14 million deficit

Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition. Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how. In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification #EV

Google recently sent out "Terms and Conditions Updates" emails for every single gmail account and hooooo boy - I got emails from throw away accounts I completely forgot I had. I just recovered emails from 2007. Most of it is spam, but found a couple forgotten attachments.

It's ok to not post about things sometimes.

“Innocent until proven guilty” is an ideal (not always met) for the government not being able to arrest and incarcerate people in one fell swoop. It’s not for your day to day life. You see a red flag from a politician running for national office? You can and should bail. The earlier the better.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Tamara Lich wasn’t the only one at Pete Hoekstra’s Fourth of July bash I did a head count: Over a dozen Canadian far-right activists and right-wing alternative media personalities, (including from the Juno and Rebel media outlets) got invites to the US ambassador’s official residence

What kind of sociopath has EVER looked at a PDF document and said to themselves, "This could be a podcast?"

apparently there's slang on the chinese internet that means "black person question mark face" because of this one meme

Police officers with the Victoria, BC, police department appear to be asking a new, internal AI chatbot for legal advice and policing information.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

But still no Taylor Bridge.
