"You're surrendering your agency in ways you don't realize." this new opinion video essay about Algorithmic Complacency, by Alec Watson of Technology Connections, is excellent and worth your time

"AI" is sea monkeys and a lotta kids didn't get scammed at a developmentally appropriate age, and now we're here

"Did you consider the people who don't like chili? The people who are vegetarians? The people without tastebuds? The people who don't know how to turn on stoves? What about all those folks?"

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Anyone who doesn’t think AT MINIMUM the Overton window gets shifted through repetition of bullshit online is fooling themselves

America now being scripted by a high school creative writing class

Shit.

I’m fine with the idea of excluding anyone like this from society

Someone on Reddit searched for (the non-existent) John Wick 5, and Google spared no expense to lie to them.

My most read article of 2024 The United States of America has a child marriage epidemic—and it's even worse than you think. www.qasimrashid.com/p/america-ha...

Without downloading any new pics what’s your energy going into 2025

It’s hard to dunk on cyber truck owners any worse than what they regularly do to themselves

Can the hot frosty be killed by conventional means?

This photo is screaming out for a single, Harrison Ford style hoop earring.

the cybertruck isn’t just a death machine for everyone surrounding it, but those inside too

As the only birder the family I will be performing my annual duty of relaying the 12 days of Christmas “all birds” theory and in painful detail

Best part of family gatherings is that my side of the family is (at least outwardly) apolitical. I didn’t even realize holiday gatherings were such a contentious time of year until I was an adult. All I had to do was ignore people gossiping in Portuguese.

I already have a dismal operational success rate so I’m not sure what else they can teach me

Elon Musk is a lot like if Henry Ford had inherited 100x as much wealth, leaned further into the rightwing extremism instead of walking it back, then installed himself as shadow president - and had never actually invented anything, only purchasing and ruining the work of others.

TikTok will make you believe most straight couples are made up of two very selfish people who can barely stand each other

I knew generally about KN and about Shopify's support for and facilitation of the far-right, but I swear sometimes you can't lift up a single slimy rock in the Cdn right without finding that someone involved put in their time in Stephen Harper's government. ik this is how politics works but jfc

Oh wow it turns out the eugenical selective and instrumentalist mentality that drives parents to have children through egg/sperm donor selection (and genetic embryo selection) is psychologically damaging to those children. Who'd have thought?

Did you see the new footage of the suspect

My standup special “PATH OF MOST RESISTANCE” is still up with over 100k views on youtube! No network, publicist or botnet backing it … youtu.be/pJ5DFrdOyig

I played some VR games last week at a Zero Latency location (which I really enjoyed) and it made me want this tech at home even less. Unless you have a massive empty space in your home to move around, I don’t see this shit being enjoyable.

I normally shit on the Canadian habit of doing a lamer version of American politics but, but I hope Galen is nervous.

Fuck em all

iPhone updated and all these dark icons look like shit

Would love a movie with a main character that’s like the ‘down and out’ vampire just trying to scratch out an existence somewhere in the rust belt. The song in the trailer has to be either Sundown or Night Moves.

A character in a novel I’m reading is in a trail separation because they asked their partner for one hoping they would fight for them. These people exist and deserve to be alone.

‘From’ does not have a single likeable character
