Who needs coffee, a Nello handshake will certainly wake you up

A devastating loss. Nello Altomare truly was a one-of-a-kid individual 😭

Oh you mean the technology that seeks to replace workers and make billionaires more money while stealing from artists? Yeah we should be against that.

The left should be more anti-generative AI, and advocate more strongly for legislation against it, and the fact they’re not is wild to me.

I never said I was a conservative??? You're running through your talking points at 2x speed even when that's not what I'm arguing.

I never said right-wing media owned by American billionaires wasn't a threat to Canadian democracy, it obviously is, but Trudeau isn't all sunshine and rainbows and claiming that *everyone* who doesn't like him only doesn't like him because of said billionaires is insane.

He's unpopular for a whole host of reasons, but it's not the media's job to save or sink a politician's career. I'd argue choosing a new leader is, by definition, democratic, especially when the alternative is staying in when members of his own party didn't want him in.

Arcane is the best series I have ever seen. Full stop. Massive shoutout to all the folks who worked on it. Go see it if you haven’t.

Gold Banner on Red Background: Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING! Nobody Asked For It; Everyone Hates It

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.

All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Trudeau is next imo

Listing things on FB marketplace and immediately getting hit with two scams is so fun.🤩

I for one would support a pan-Arctic confederation

So, are we getting a Spotify wrapped this year orr

The GST cut is flawed, but sales taxes are the worst kind of taxes as they don't scale to income. If the Liberals throught ahead they would have done it Nov 1-Dec 31 so that people can actually use the savings during the holidays. Poor planning.

The cheques are jus transparent vote-buying imo.

J.K. Rowling attacks another Black cis female athlete with anti-trans hate The ​Harry Potter​ author said that Barbra Banda winning BBC Women's Footballer of the Year is spitting in the face of women.

J.K. Rowling attacks another POC cis female athlete with anti-trans hate. She's as racist as she is transphobic.

Conspiracy theorists are wild. They’ll watch as several billionaires bought an election in the most powerful country in the world, in the most blatant way possible for all to see, and then claim that actually the world is run by Jewish people or whatever.

Imagine if they invented job applications that didn’t make you want to rip your hair and eyes out!

In 2023, The Alberta NDP dominated the UCP in the city of Edmonton proper. Winning all but six polls and even gaining a seat relative to 2019, the NDP won the city by a 29-point margin and won every single seat in the city.

Text reads: A government doesn't announce that they have become fascist, they announce anti-fascists are enemies of the state.

And funny enough, trans people represent a similar proportion of the population that Jewish people did in 1930s Germany. And where was the first Nazi book banning?

It’s retreading a dangerous set of steps.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Also like, if you’re *that* fem-presenting, and have been openly trans for that long, decent chance you’ve had bottom surgery. Not that that matters to anyone in this conversation but like, come on.
