This is very troubling. When Alberta's chief electoral officer takes the unprecedented step of telling every MLA that the Justice Minister's proposed Election Act changes will undermine elections, he's clearly calling out anti-democratic behaviour. 1 www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

y’know when you see bad people talk about the “social contagion” of being trans? what they’re talking about is closeted trans people and eggs seeing us out and joyous trans people and knowing they can do it too it’s about wanting us to disappear and we need you to shut that shit down 💫

there are way too many companies and whole industries that would not exist without porn and sex workers for everyone to suddenly hate porn and sex workers is all I am saying

Most people grow up and realize their parents were right, but one of the most soul-crushing things about having truly bad parents is growing up and realizing YOU were right. That you've been flying solo your entire life. Should feel like vindication, but tastes like ultimate defeat.

if i constantly only like your posts/replies without replying please just know i am terrible at putting words together 80% of the time and im trying to communicate by sagely nodding at everything you say

hi, its year 3 of job search, im so stressed & anxious i can't write, bills and months of rent are unpaid, our medicaid is in jeopardy, we are not in a stable situation and are not ok, sorry to ask, sorry to bother, sorry to be here, i'm sorry. please donate if you have it to spare

What kind of world will today’s five-year-olds grow up in? A new @nature.com study warns over 90% of children born in 2020 will face extreme heat in their lifetime if emissions stay high. We must end fossil fuels & shift to clean energy! ☀️⚡ 👉 Read more: dub.sh/3lKT6TJ

I wish Blaseball was still here so I could watch the Firefighters react to Chicago Pope

At least we can smile knowing JD converted to Catholicism only to be PERSONALLY disliked by not one but TWO popes

crazy choice for the new pope but I'll roll with the hauntifex

Can we have a referendum on the existence of the UCP? They didn't run on this platform. I am so tired.

More info on Bill 55 #ableg #abpoli #canpoli #healthcare www.una.ca/1660/hidden-...

While we are all focused on separation, the UCP has introduced the final puzzle piece of private health care in Alberta. They changed the rules of debate in the Leg so "That means Albertans only have until Wednesday or Thursday of next week to organize." #ableg #abpoli afl.org/ucp-is-flood...

Dealing with student loan things is always fun. What do you mean I don't really know account numbers if my eyes are open, how does that have any bearing on whether or not I *know* those numbers. It's like turning down the radio to see addresses better i guess.

Forget ChatGPT, I can also answer your questions but sometimes lie to you while wasting water and electricity.

this is INCREDIBLE

This would be good news if scientists were developing a technology to harness the power of cringe. Talk about renewable energy.

Support The Onion, where they're producing real, genuine, artisanal satire, painstakingly by hand.

"Worldcon used LLMs to vet panelists" is so cursed - apart from the other ethical issues, imagine bringing "your manager wants to fire you and automate your job" energy to . . . A volunteer position people do for fun

If you don't want to write, don't write. It's not like there isn't enough perfectly dreadful, pointless writing written by people who are doing it all by themselves. (And I don't necessarily mean Ross Douthat, though of course I don't not mean him either.)

Green smoke above the Sistine Chapel means they are smoking weed. There is no joke here it's actually real

This tech accelerationism is training people to just do the appearance of work: a headline, art that looks almost normal from a distance, to complete things as fast as possible and move onto the next... it's dissolving humanity and culture at large

Spring Again. 🌺

This is such a heartbreaking thread. Starvation does not have to be and should not be the option facing the people of Gaza.

I know everybody is stretched, but if there are any sugar settlers looking to help out the foundation has $7300 worth of needs this month (mostly housing, also dental care) and $1500 available to do it. We appreciate our donors so much. Do what you can. payyourrent.ca/relearning-t...

Worth a watch, fellow Canadians. Gen AI deepfakes of Carney. Reporting via France’s @france24.com . #cdnpoli

I don’t care what it says. Gen ai bots are a stupid scam that erode your ability to use your brain, pushed on us by Amway-pilled weirdos who spent billions and are wrecking the planet even faster than before because the whole world owes them a chance to make up their losses. It’s giant hogweed.

“Premier Danielle Smith will send Speaker Nathan Cooper to Washington as the provincial representative” And there it is! Nathan Cooper is out as an MLA and is being sent to DC. (Dreeshen must be SO jealous!) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Looking forward to sharing lots of fun stuff with you all!

Sometimes you wake up, get dressed, go to work - and then some dude with a black eye and one arm in a sling holds up the checkout line. You don't get paid enough for this. #KeepingTime 🎸 keepingtimecomic.com 🎸Start from the beginning

people don't see artists (musicians, writers, crafters, etc) as laborers and that's the entire problem right there people are inclined to see creativity as a hobby or downtime activity, you can't make it actual real work, what rights do you possibly want when you're being a slacker with no ambition

If you stop collecting weather & climate data it does not have an impact on rising GHGs. They will still continue to grow if we continue to burn fossil fuels. And it certainly won't end droughts, floods, or extreme weather events. It will just make us less prepared for those disasters. 🧪🌊🔌💡☀️💨🔋

I will always repost the exploding whale in Oregon story. Read up in comments for other (gross) story of a beached whale in Oregon

living through 2025 and having to wake up, go to work, handle responsibilities etc feels like this

This is a such a lovely comic and it's great and I think it's a pretty good mother's day/may long weekend read (if you're looking for one)

Bass 2024 #MarshallMay One of the first pieces I did of Marshall, fun to see how differently I tackle drawing him now. Still fond of his dramatic stage getup. [ #MD #Drawing #Artsky ]

Ducks is available in the US in paperback today!! The job on the paperback by D&Q is just beautiful, expect nothing less from them! www.instagram.com/p/DICaWiqP-z...

GenAI enthusiasts could learn a lot from the myth of Echo and Narcissus, for example how to fall into a pond and die
