No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

CBC News headline: “Stephen Harper says Canada must urgently reduce its dependence on the US Former prime minister says Canada should consider hitting US goods with tariffs as trade war drags on”

Screenshot of article text: “Former prime minister Stephen Harper said late Wednesday that Canada must urgently pivot in the face of an erratic U.S. president and reduce its dependence on the American market to protect its sovereignty and the continued functioning of the economy. Speaking at a gala in Ottawa to mark the 20 years since he formed a Conservative govern-ment, Harper said while he has "largely stayed silent" on U.S. aggression up until now, he teels compelled to speak out about what he described as an existential threat. He said the U.S. has become "hostile" and its leader, President Donald Trump, is openly questioning Canadian sovereignty, launching threats and betraying trade deals, which poses a "serious challenge" that demands a muscular response. While Canadians are "understandingly shocked, bewildered and angry" by what Trump and his enablers have done in recent months, Harper said the country must put emotion aside and focus on policy.”

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

Canada's role in the imperial machine has often been to provide the window-dressing. It dragged the UN into the Korean War. It legitimized the Vietnam War by sitting on the Geneva Convention's ICC. It tirelessly demonized imperial enemies during the war on terror. But empire cares less these days.

empire wants a war,
drop those elbows to the floor

LA Times: Elon Musk company bot apologizes

Newsweek: Elon Musk's Grok Apologizes

International Business Times: Grok Issues Apologies

The Hill: Musk's AI chatbot Grok apologizes

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes."

This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.

Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

you’re absolutely right

it's literally an authoritarian project to ruthlessly stamp out all human kindness

Opposing fascism with centrism is like suggesting cutting the baby in half—it gives fascists the ability to appeal to legitimate grievances (like how nobody can afford anything) by offering false solutions to real problems. Full-throated struggle for liberation is the only coherent alternative.
