Wasting away in Hellbertaville. It’s funny, I may seem like an angry person on the surface, but deep down I’m actually angrier.

It will be the three-year anniversary of its investigation of former United Conservative Party justice minister Kaycee Madu for obstruction of justice, despite being a “fairly straightforward case,” according to one former RCMP major crimes investigator. thetyee.ca/News/2025/05...

Good thing we didn’t elect Poilievre. We really dodged a bullet by not choosing his exact same austerity policies.

While people are posting outrage over Pierre Poilievre billing the Canadian taxpayer around $8.9 million just for his living expenses in 2024, I think it's more effective to point out that this equates to over $24,000 per day. Per. Day. $24,000. Every single day, including weekends.

Given that Israel's foundation ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians only 3 years after the end of the Holocaust I think Zionists learned a different lesson

Some cowardly conservative christians found out that US Republicans targeted books they think are icky, found those books here, and ran crying to UCP to protest the books. Of course UCP will help. But if you protest genocide they'll crack your fucking skull. Worst govt in AB history.

But why isn’t proportional representation on that list, @donvdavies.bsky.social? First-past-the-post just decimated your party, and in a minority Parliament, the @ndp.ca could use their leverage to make real progress. It’s time for Pro-PR MPs to start fighting for a better democracy. #cdnpoli

I was reading a thread about Dead Internet this morning, with how it's just bots talking to boys, and someone referred to LLMs slurping up content generated by LLMs as "digital incest". This is it. It's publishing digital incest. Holy cow I'm depressed.

This. You know what was good? Plain HTML pages with text and images and hyperlinks. Maybe a single banner ad at the top to fund it. Not something that loads literally gigabytes of random executable code from hundreds of different domains to show you one three-paragraph article and fifty video ads.

The thing about casually telling people "so I asked chatgpt" is that it is a very, very strong indicator that that wasn't the only interaction you had with it today. Normal people are gonna reasonably assume you spend hours a day talking to wire mother like the miserable schmuck Cait found here.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Look how effectively, creatively even, our beautiful, blue-green, planet is being torn apart. Ecosystems that have likely taken millions of years to develop, all gone in an instant, at inconceivable scale, relentlessly. No words can come close to describing the horror of it.

Disney's whole business model is going "you know that thing you're nostalgic for? Get fucked, here's a version made out of dogshit" Totally unaware that they are eating the seed corn of: transferring nostalgia across generations. No one's getting nostalgic for temu Lilo or Aladdin or whatever.
