Haven’t you seen the layoff numbers? That’s pure value for shareholders 🤑🤑🤑

And if you don’t happily accept the risk of electrocution, well you’re just a small-minded enemy of progress

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Just think of the struggling mom-and-pop yacht enthusiasts who were having a hard time making ends meet under that oppressive government tax grab 😞

Zohran Mamdani shows how Democrats can defeat authoritarians like Trump | Isabella Weber Democrats have two choices: fight to make life affordable again for ordinary people or watch voters embrace authoritarians

If guaranteeing essentials sounds radical in 2025, it speaks to how far we’ve drifted from democracy’s core promise. Markets will not save democracy.

My new piece for @theguardian.com:

Aka cut support staff and let players do bug testing after release 👍

No no, this time it’s powered by AI so nothing bad could happen

“People who dare to question the AI revolution” or whatever it was 🙃

Looking forward to MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 2

Are they seriously doing “We’ll be welcomed as liberators” again??

So sad that they’re banning Christmas 😞 oh wait I’m receiving info that they actually only hate foreign religions, not normal ones like Christianity

I don't know why people aren't having more kids. We've tried everything from soaring inflation, suppressing wages, stripping rights, destroying public services, making literally everything more expensive, making literally everything more expensive in a different way, and sending in the marines

“The right never talked like this” - they just didn’t talk like this around YOU

[One year later] “With the midterms only a year off, now’s not the time to get involved in divisive policy debates - our priority has to be staying united through the election.”

It took my about 1000 hours to get “good” at EUIV so yeah, prolly a few years 🙃

What do they think of pancake recipes?

Awesome, age verification definitely works, which we know because no one under 18 can view pornography 👍

Ah so it was economics?

[Guy who’s profiting from the bubble]: “We’re not in a bubble!”

Now that Jordan Peterson’s out of the picture, regular chuds have had to step up and fill the gap

As soon as I saw this, the logdriver song popped into my head (complimentary)

Also speculation, although I guess that’s just gambling too
