Joshua "the Crypt" Keep(er)

Probably my favourite work of ours. And it's spawned a dozen more followups in my mind I need to finish writing out!

Keep in mind the US dropped more bombs on Korea than used in all of World War II. They slaughtered more than one in five Koreans. Ordered death squads to exterminate whole communities if a single communist was suspected. And ever since our own veterans have fought for recognition of our crimes.

"American steel makes up more than half of Canada’s imports of galvanized and coated steel, complicating Cleveland-Cliffs’ argument that an influx of cheap overseas steel is one of the top causes of Stelco layoffs." Funny way of saying he's lying to get us to protect his American steel imports.

Just look at this marvelous poster! Shit, go see this thing!

This is from 2014 btw.

Matt Yglesias: If you were a child I can see why you would walk away from Omelas but it doesn’t make sense that so many people would willingly leave Omelas

"A Face In The Crowd" blew my mind to watch! Grew up with the Andy Griffith Show, and watching Matlock with my grandfather. So to see him play this uncannily on-point, sleazy, duplicitous villain is WILD. Amazing breadth in his acting chops! The film is intensely, uncomfortably relevant too.

The other day I saw someone say ai is good because it's the most revolutionary tool the working class has ever had access to because apparently they forgot that it's a subscription to a tool owned by the capitalist class and will never be able to be used as a tool of the revolution.

At my last job, we had interns. I was 30 and they were 22 and just finishing their bachelors and I felt like I was babysitting. I once had to tell one not to put binders all over the floor because it was a tripping hazard and he laughed at me and I had to say "No, it's an OSHA violation. Stop."

If only you, personally, had harassed more people on bluesky to vote strategically, this would all have been avoided. 😔

Sweet Jesus. I'm about the same age now and cannot imagine *wanting* to date someone that young. And if I had such intense loser energy as to be unappealing to women my own age? I would take that to the grave with me.

Same thinking goes into business as politics. Wonder why all the big box stores that should be competing end up near eachother? Because they figure setting up shop next to their competitor would get them all the customers on one side still, but edge on the pool of customers the other shop draws in.

"Washington claims Cuba poses a national security threat to the United States." Why does media keep repeating this? The US only said this obvious, absurd lie, after smugly declaring the real reason: they want to conquer Cuba and exploit it again. There is no good reason to help the lie!

imagine going "mass unrest in France? just another trick up Putin's sleeve, don't be fooled"

The US is murdering Cubans. The only country that is a threat is the US. And Israel.

There is no national security threat from Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico It’s all imperialist bullshit

Cuba si, Yanqui no!

Due diligence? No I said "dude ill-igence," I was talking about the Beastie Boys!

Should have burned it down in 1945 (if not before).

To those in the US who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. Overthrow your villainous government. Form a resistance movement to topple the evil regime that is slaughtering people across the globe in your name. Save Cuba from a return to despotic American imperial rule.

Hear hear. Criminal to let American companies gobble up and destroy Canadian businesses.

The billionaire class is just so openly evil now. Cartoon villains.

After our flu/COVID shots, @jmkeep.bsky.social and I are both floored today. Neither of our brains are working. But she keeps insisting on trying to explain complex publishing topics to me. While routinely using the exact opposite word of what she means. It's all going great here.

"British banks are required by law to make most of their customers whole when money is lost to a scam, often returning the sum within days of making a claim. In contrast, Canadian banks have no such legal obligation, leaving scam victims here largely unprotected."

"Three years after the program was introduced, we are seeing more communities depend on the virtual platform to keep their emergency departments open. That is not a sign of success, and it’s not the standard patients should expect in a modern health-care system," said a representative for NL doctors

I've been thinking about this all day because I don't consider myself an expert, but I run a bunch of websites and you essentially can't do anything without seeing PHP mentions the second you run a website. It'd be like saying you've never heard of Javascript or CSS or HTML.

We keep getting these reminders that journalists don't know what the hell they're talking about. Like Politico doing a piece on their discovering FDR existed. The endless string of tech journalists who understand nothing, they just worship tech and tech billionaires.

handsy grandparents should learn to be more resilient to being told no, how about that

My abuser, a close family member, would force gratuitous hugs and kisses on me in front of others. And they'd all laugh at my discomfort and think it was so cute. This taught me as a little child to accept sexual abuse in silence. Because nobody cares if I'm touched against my will.

Demanding that children get used to being touched against their will by relatives is heinous. The vast majority of abuse is within families! You're teaching children to be silent and accept sexual abuse.

This is the rational stance based on material reality.

New Cronenberg interview you say...?

BMO CEO says don't give AI agents your banking info On Tuesday, RBC's CEO said his bank may block Meta's popular Muse AI assistant www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

EA is a developer slaughterhouse. And this is a tragedy for gaming. BioWare was a great Canadian studio. I've never forgotten what they did to Maxis and others.

"The Heedless Horseman" was his original name. Which explains how he became headless.

This is the optimistic appraisal of the situation in the US of A.

Pyrography. Making art by burning images into wood. It was therapeutic. You had to move at a slow, consistent speed to do things properly. Forced you to find some calm and inner peace. Also took me back to how I used to sketch, before nerve issues ruined my ability to do so.

Reading some posts here makes me suspect people think any issue can be solved with a big enough bake sale.
