IT IS A SHELTER FOR HOMELESS SENIORS BUILD IT FASTER

Tech Guy: I have attained immortality! Me: Wow, you figured out how to stop aging? Tech Guy: No, I trained an AI on my emails to create a perfect copy of my personality. Then I uploaded it into a robot dog with M3GAN’s face. It will live forever Robot: As a businessman I often schedule meetings

"television promised me i'd be a kickass dude but instead i have a shitty office job that sustains a meaningless consumerist life, lets go burn down civilization" turned out to be a pretty good read of the primary motivation for a bunch of american fash

you're getting your picture taken and one pant leg is draping over the boot with the other stuck behind the tongue of the boot what the hell man.

removing the brakes from my car because they're a cost center and replacing them with a second gas pedal because it's a profit center

i truly, deeply loathe about Toronto politics is how shamelessly politicians twist vulgar-leftist events/language into policies helping millionaire homeowners

This is going to be excruciating to watch (bless matt for doing the play x play) but cars, along with all the other death and destruction, are used as reason to limit housing options often. The city truly is for the car, not people.

the automobile is quite literally adolf hitler

This election separated the wheat (people with sincere views on urban policy reform) from the chaff (people who use urban policy reform as a cudgel against their enemies)

Thread worth following as one of Canada’s most notorious far-right figures is sentenced today. Also follow @petersmith.bsky.social

a big thing about going to school and working during the great recession was it was clear work was where you go to get yelled at while art and life were where you learn how to build skills and tackle meaningful problems. i still dont know how to rate other peoples' work experience to this day

the key difference between edmonton and toronto is, fundamentally, one city has a history of home prices swinging up and down because of oil industry boom-bust cycles and the other is a city by and for land speculators (sorry, homeowners)

I am reminded that some of my clients at work are mentioning the cost to acquire attention for sales is going way up, and i do wonder if the ineffectiveness of money recently is related

this piece absolutely slaps. there are so many parts that I could clip to amplify, but this one made me want to run through the damn wall at 1:20am if a socialist can win power in the world’s biggest city, what’s stopping the rest of us?

The interesting parts of cities generally aren't planned by the cities.

Left YIMBY for the win!

The deskilling machine is doing deskilling machine things.

i think this is one of the most evil things you can do with large language models possible.

YOU CANNOT FOOL ME HAPLOID GROUP A2B469. THE DAYS OF THE PINK SKINNED POTATOES ARE IN TWILIGHT. THE SPIRIT OF AL GUL AND DELUSIONS OF RESTORED GRANDEUR IS ALL THAT SUSTAINS YOUR KIN. THE RULE OF THE HAM SANDWICH RACE IS OVER. REPENT FOR YOUR INFERIOR ARYAN PHYSIOGNOMY.

Yeah ok this stuff might be demonic

Own. Being owned, including P3s is a way to higher cost and lower value. In general, in most cases, P3 costs more, takes longer and is lower value and not worth doing. Very few isolated cases are worth it.

Modern tech industry increasingly just focused on making you pay a lot of money (or attention) to feel like absolute shit about yourself

Pretty """cool""" to see folks excitedly declare they're so productive through self-deskilling.

Strange Scaffold is one of the most exciting companies in gaming/tech right now because they're explicitly doing many small, weir and experimental things as the industry continues to bloat on big bets that always fizzle out

Single out now

I love video games. Must buy!
