Lady Death Becomes Her

Did-did-did-did you see the frightened ones?
Did-did-did-did you hear the falling bombs?

(Probably not, if you let valley VC techno-libertarian fascist Zionist freaks control your information)

Goodbye, Bluesky
Goodbye, Bluesky
Goodbye
Goodbye

The only reason I eventually decided to try this place out is the supposedly "algorithm"-free nature. I don't allow my mind to be programmed by big tech fascists, I haven't for a long time, and I'm sure as hell not about to start now

Ugh, I keep coming across posts and replies I would've liked to see, from people I'm following, that just weren't in my following feed. Not just bullying or whatever either, journalists and so on. I don't follow very many people, so it's very obvious that this is happening

Yep bsky.app/profile/denn...

I bet I could be a big account if I said "fuck" less, that's definitely the main thing holding me back.

Anyway, as always, Death To America

Oh for sure, it's much better, but people have to fight to defend it, even in countries where this is an expectation established for at least a generation

Propaganda is very, very powerful, and people are very, very dumb

Even in a country where the horror show that is America is right next door, people happily gulp down the propaganda slop and think that private health care will fix things. Looking across the border at people gunning down health care CEOs in the streets and thinking "great system, let's do that!"

I could walk maybe 5 minutes to any number of clinics from where I'm sitting and pay at point of care for all sorts of things where it's literally criminal to do so. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares

This is completely divorced from reality, but it doesn't matter. It's hardly like conservatives in the neoliberal era are shy about wanting to destroy public services. It's their favourite thing! Openly! They ARE doing it! (The Liberals are, too, but that's a different conversation)

If you've had it for a while, like here in Canada, there's a few different ways that people tolerate it. One is simply taking it for granted and thinking "they would never!" like in the post I quoted. I've had people incredulously say things like "the Conservatives wouldn't do that!" to my face

Well, no. How that actually works is that they boil the frog by slowly defunding and sabotaging it more and more until it becomes a manufactured crisis that they propose to fix with privatization. Pretty standard neoliberal playbook

I'm an extremely avoidant borderline shut-in with a very curated technology life, so I haven't really had to deal with this "AI" nonsense except for reading posts about it. I didn't even consider that I'd call a small business on the phone and have a robot answer and I'm not handling it super well

Morning web searches, tab 1: how to get a chat bot phone receptionist to connect you to a human

Morning web searches, tab 2: how to kill yourself in the messiest way possible

Yeah, they're all terrible. Still, it says a lot that even within the context of this sham of a democracy, there's such overwhelming support for the most right-wing option. Can't even pretend that it's about "fiscal responsibility" or whatever since Ford's PCs are egregiously corrupt

I don't know, the first and second element were good, but I feel like they dropped the ball after that

You'll feel like an entrepreneur!

You know, hemorrhaging and desperate

I'm torn between this and being pro any and all separatism

Real ones (revised) know what time it grew dark

The people with the most massive annoyingly hangey balls I know don't sit like this. It's entirely bullshit, the only thing these people need space for is their shitty personality

Imagine posting "showed Dem unity!" on November 10, 2025. They don't even make mules that kick this hard

Admittedly there is a minor downside here of definitely dying in a camp, but let's be honest, you were going to do that anyway

Canadian military will rely on an army of public servants to boost its ranks by 300,000 Federal public servants would be trained to shoot guns, drive trucks and fly drones, according to a defence department directive.

Not getting drafted life hack: be a communist, and openly state on the internet that the instant you're given a live weapon, every commanding officer in range dies, and the instant you know any tactically useful information, so does China

Only Ontario could have produced Doug Ford, who (especially now that Poilievre's downfall looks ever more likely) is likely to be the figurehead of full-blown Canadian mask-off fascism once he cruises into power on the highway paved for him by Carney

Good evidence for why Canadian liberals who point to the US or Alberta as where all the bad people are need to shut the fuck up now and forever. Ontario is fascist backwater shithole full of racist mouth-breathing treatlerites, just like the rest of Canada

Yeah, and it's freezing in here, and I don't control my own heat. This is not giving me any feelings about landlords, honest

This reply did violence to me specifically how dare you

I just stumbled across this one, checked out who quoted it, and was surprised to see it was you over a half hour ago since it wasn't in my feed. Is the new post hiding bullshit transitive (so quotes of hidden replies are also hidden), or is the following feed just a full-on fascist algorithm now?

Unfortunately I can't find that article that compared photos of the hull when it was built to later ones like this, but once you see it, you can never unsee how obviously doomed this ship was. It was really profitable to ignore that, right up until it wasn't

What are you talking about, the hull of American "democracy" looks great! Definitely no signs of disaster here!
