Elon Musk thinks he can threaten Canadian workers? Poilievre is a billionaire bootlicker who won’t stand up to him. I will. New Democrats will hit him hard with a 100% Tariff on Tesla – intended to hit him where it hurts.

Wow that's crazy i can't believe an AI created by a chinese company would have weird shit to say about tiananmen square and Taiwan. Thankfully we have intrepid tech journalists on the most obvious beat of all time.

The spectacle of cruelty gets more shares the policies of cruelty. The latter tends to implicate far, far more people.

"Speaking truth to power" always implied that "power didn't know" and that "power cared." Both are incredibly daft assumptions.

The typical individual at the top of the income scale puts as much CO2 into the atmosphere as all those from the bottom 9 income groups combined. We can't survive the very rich. Report here: autonomy.work/portfolio/cl...

The world’s richest burned through their entire share of the 2025 carbon budget in just 10 days. Meanwhile, people across the globe struggle with rising costs of living and climate breakdown they didn’t cause.

You can easily have socialist policies without socialist taxes. Even the actually existing Communist countries didn't have high taxes because they could just allocate resources via planning.

We could have a proportional voting system today that would make this result impossible, but Trudeau had to put party interest above improving Canadian democracy.

Single payer does not somehow promise to eliminate claims denials, it promises to allocate them in a rational and democratic way, unlike the current system which prioritizes wealth and profit.

Postal banking is such a no brainer that solves 2 big problems (helps pay for the post office, basically eliminates the issue of Canadians being unbanked) that the only possible explanation for why it hasn't happened yet is the big banks said "don't you dare" and the politicians simply rolled over.

After having and using my M3 MacBook Air for over a year (I think?), I can say that it's a beautiful machine that's begging for Arch Linux.

amused by the implicit general principle here that it is unnatural for any animal to do anything that no other animal does

Said this elsewhere, but this assassination is kind of like a market correction. It’s supposed to be high risk/high reward, and for too long CEO has been a low risk/high reward profession. It’s unnatural.

conservative whining about foreign aid is great because they think we’re just handing money out like a charity when in reality most of this money is strategically propping up American interests across the globe

"If the American people alone redistributed Elon Musks entire international net worth it would be about 1k per person. However if we divided up the assets of blackrock we would each get $31772. Don't over emphasize individual agency when it comes to understanding what guides capitalism." -Andy Frey

Man, the AI voices in Flight Sim 2024 are awful. Doesn't know to pause after a comma, and I guess the generated voice version of a hallucination is mispronouncing basic English vocabulary words not even Brooklyn podcasters would mispronounce.

This, so much this I try to be specific when I talk about the current hype wave as LLMs and image models because that is what they are (also because I'm an AI researcher) It annoys me to no end that the useful umbrella term has been hollowed out by capitalist shitheads

NEW: Now that Trump has won Democrats have decided that the economy is bad and Republicans that the economy is good. Does this mean that material conditions have no bearing on public opinion? Nope.
