Running Swyvers at the FLGS convinced the owner to get a bulk Melsonian Arts Council order. So keep an eye out for The Hobby Corner in IC to finally get some troika stuff.

Five Uncomfortable Truths About War with Iran Alongside many others, I predicted the US would bomb Iran again, unleashing hell from the skies, and yet I’m finding it hard to process.

"The root source of imperial decline is a crisis of capitalism that gets managed through zero-sum patches, improvisational fixes that sacrifice others…and that aim at sustaining oligarchy."

Far be it from me to advise on how effective an attack ad is, but Kat literally talked about being raised Republican and then becoming progressive in her comic book mailers

Opinion: OpenAI has shown it cannot be trusted. Canada needs nationalized, public AI OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, lobbied Ottawa for business. All the while it hid its knowledge of Tumbler Ridge shooter

We don't have a nationalized public cloud, we don't have a national public internet provider, we don't have a public social media siteβ€”all things most Canadians actually use and need on a daily basisβ€”but sure, let's spend billions in public funds making a public AI first.

Everyone else is dunking on this guy for the pretty standard reason of β€œlots of people live on the American continent who aren’t from the United States” but I also want to point out that like…it’s not even a social justice thing? USian is a literal translation of…either Spanish or Portuguese term

For such a good title, I'm not crazy about the first track, "Make America Fuk Again," but the rest of the album gets better and better. 80s guitar filter funk riffs. Couple songs made me think "Mark Knopfler"

Real grooving smooth vibes, complimentary.

been on this for awhile but its neat to see actual journalists just come out and say β€œwe are epistemic nihilists who’s greatest aspiration is to propagate the ideas of the powerful”

Amanda, in the business, speaking the truth. Always happy to see this. Lots of people in our industry circle the wagons whenever legit criticism from readers comes to a head, and pretending there isn't an agenda coming from ownership/EIC/ME to all parts of the paper is disingenuous. At best.

karl marx's criticism of social unfreedoms obfuscated behind formal political and marketplace freedoms continues to be the most effective criticism of liberalism and its failures in history tbh. history will only see the nytimes cheerleading for war in west asia, as it remembers w/ iraq

you have given nothing of value to the world, you believe in nothing of worth, you worship prevarication and debate club technicalities as children burn alive and our newspapers hem and haw about who is allowed to do the burning, and when, and why. quit, and reflect on your failure as a human being.

I work in this business, too, and what makes me so livid is this kind of crap insulting the readers intelligence. The editors at the paper understand the marching orders. Pretending op-ed is just one persons opinion and not part of a larger agenda is silly and disingenuous.
