Killing Wikipedia is a huge target of the plot to enslave America, as it's a popular source of knowledge that the slavers cannot find a way to purchase or take over

AAA really spent 4 years with access to an entire planet of remote talent and said "nah", huh?

Donate to Wikipedia so it can't be bought.

Canadians, please vote these awful transphobic hateful bigoted incompetents out, leave them humiliated by their failure, force them back from the far end of the spectrum by sheer embarrassment. We can do it. We can vote against them so hard they never try this shit again in living memory.

We never thought he was joking. I don't understand why American media keeps trying to say we're just mad about the tariffs. We're mad about THIS. No matter their trade policy, I suspect Canadians will *never* see America as a true ally again.

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

This is one of the best dogs I have ever seen.

This is what I try to get through to students and organizations considering enterprise deals. The big tech companies want to get you hooked on their LLMs via penetrative pricing so they can jack up the prices later and MAYBE have a shot at sustainability.

In Vietnam, the war is called "the American War." The Verge's package commemorating the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon is now fully live: www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Where did @nexusmods.com's spine go? Why try to ignore that this mod is a (noxious) political expression? Absolutely shameful place to land. Gonna age like milk and make you look like morons. Nice job. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ne...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

the arrest of a judge by ICE and FBI for such bullshit reasons is a Rubicon crossing moment. not the last, but a major one.

I have somebody who does my decks, all stock or found, no AI, but I want to see this become normalized so I’m getting Bryan out there.

The NDP cares about making the world a better place, and our MPs work hard to make it happen. The CPC cares about being rich, and they do jack shit for anyone but their rich buddies.

Not hard at all. I may be biased. I have a lot of friends in English. But the AI admin push feels really targeted at how much English courses bedevil their funding models. They’re inefficient, they cannot shuttle it to professional schools, & weirdly students want it.

“Pierre Poilievre has a long history of being anti-choice over his 20-year career. Given the Conservative Party’s anti-abortion stance and Poilievre’s previous actions, I’m not sure I want a far-right government anywhere near my biological clock or my uterus.”

I love my horribly accented people.

"The Agriculture Department will not require poultry companies to limit salmonella bacteria in their products, halting a Biden Administration effort to prevent food poisoning from contaminated meat." www.seattletimes.com/business/usd...

Sure the same way everything in Project 2025 wasn't real and was just a joke or whatever. I don't believe a single word coming out of the federal government unless this administration is purged, top to bottom.

he’s right and he’s right to say it

fun fact this pulled medical textbook with AI came from Springer a company that went international thanks to Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell, and also father of the entire deeply abusive scientific publishing industry that exists today

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

TIL Katy Perry has financially manipulated so many old people out of their homes for her own benefit that she's got a law named after her www.forbes.com/sites/hughmc...

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Ai is a tool for digital State capture nothing else. AI is being forced into all of our lives because it is not a feature to help you learn it is a tool to control you and knowledge while also neutering your ability to know anything. It’s knowledge killing technology

I hate video games, so when I say one is good you have my guarantee that it is in fact good (for a game). If you don't hate games you can't be trusted to say if a game is good because you're predisposed to broadly like them. The best food critics hate food and mostly live off meal replacement drinks

This just in: Gamergate 2 has been defeated. We're now onto Gamergate 3.

"Some officials say U.S. citizens who criticize administration policies could be charged with crimes" I always wondered how mainstream journalism would cover an impending dictatorship here. Now we know.

“The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children after the government **posted their home address** to social media.” 4/23/25 newrepublic.com/post/194289/...

Yesterday was yet another amazing day on the trail! 🧡 We hit doors across Edmonton Manning, then capped it off with an amazing rally at the Art Gallery. People are fired up about healthcare, affordability, and real leadership. The momentum is real—let’s keep it going! 💪 #NDP #EdmontonManning #yeg

death cult

Don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, an important annual event for people doing REAL work. Also, SURPRISE I'm working on opening a book/gamestore buy books from ME: bookshop.org/shop/PlotTwi...

The only problem with this view is that there's no evidence for it whatsoever. Right-wing attacks on higher education, government and marginalized outgroups go back at least 70 years. They have been making up culture-war boogeymen to justify crackdowns as long as I have been alive.

The US Constitution guarantees due process. Donald Trump is eroding it in real time – we must fight back to restore the balance of power. Today, I’m announcing a series of measures against El Salvador for aiding his unconstitutional deportation scheme.

Anyone who is in or knows people in Edmonton - even if you want Carney as PM, don't vote for the Liberals if the NDP have historically beaten them! Which they very likely did! We can't let the Conservatives take any seats from split votes.

Canadians: we're smart enough to know what this means. The Conservative party fully wants to repeat everything the American authoritarian government is doing. Vote strategically. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

TLDR: the administration wants to remove habitat loss from the definition of "harm" for endangered species, which will effectively gut the ESA. I just commented. If you're in any way interested in ecology, nature, and the protection of endangered species, you should, too. Free daily action!

My friend's student asks me to share: The administration is trying to destroy the Endangered Species Act from within. Public commenting is basically the only way to thwart this rule before getting to court. If you have a few minutes to comment: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FW...

I spoke to dozens of Blue Prince players about how they are taking notes in the game and learned a whoooooole bunch about how people are taking notes in the game. Here's what I got 👇🏼https://www.polygon.com/blue-prince-guides/558988/best-notes-tips
