If you've never been to a pro-labour political rally, this is a good year to start. Pictured below is a pro-education, pro-teacher rally at Canada's capital Hill in Ottawa. If you don't like what your leaders are doing, make some noise #osstf #cupe #ottawa

Documents like these are insightful because they suggest the government is knowingly acting out of step with public opinion (and many of their own voters):

It's not *just* that interest costs are high; it's that we're getting nothing of value in return. No mass transit. No transformative technological advancements. No life saving medical advancements. No jobs. No sustained economic growth. Just billionaires getting richer.

A trillion dollars in interest expense — in one year. And a 100 basis-point rise across the yield curve would drive up 2027 interest costs by another $310 billion. “A snowballing of debt.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Mail day! I got a Batman, two Street Fighters, some oil drums for the fighters to land on, and a dungeon floor made of mousepad material for my cardboard dungeon walls. Where's all my scale model oil drum fans at?? #actionfigures #dungeons #oildrums

Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

Every dime of that pay goes directly back into the economy. I don’t know what people don’t understand about that. Higher wages allows people to purchase the very things that companies sell. If they all raised wages, they would all sell more shit. How difficult is that to understand? 

"Is that the key for the TLR building?" "No, that's the key for Room 52." Ohh, I crack me up.

We are a very old building. We have lots of keys. We have lots of keys that don’t open anything. Join us for a one off installment of, “Keys of the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall that are pretty but completely useless”. 🔑 🧵

This innocent pic gave me shivers. I mean, the mayor's a good dude and all. But there's this one horror themed RPG, and your first exposure to its cosmic horrors is when your character is "invited to a night at the opera". Before you know it, you're holster-deep in slime and Fish-Men. #DeltaGreen

You find some cool stuff on Bluesky. On Thursday I take this picture (sunflower) and on Saturday I find an entire account of similar things!

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Sometimes if I'm in an eerie mood, the best thing is to sit down to a gothic movie by William Castle. Yessir, a gothic Castle is the best. Especially late at night, when everyone's had a few and is feeling relaxed.

If the people working at Anthropic et al sincerely believe that GenAI will kill 10% of humanity in the next decade, why can't we try them for conspiracy to murder?
