Unlike Bluesky, the Fediverse is truly decentralised and not controlled by capitalist Americans. https://jointhefediverse.net Join us today! I prefer quokk.au personally. I'm a potty mouthed leftist from Alberta, but much less active on this platform.

Napoleon furnaces made in Canada are now cheaper than the TRANE brand American equivalent. Seems their manufacturing costs have gone up quite a bit since last year when I started saving up for a replacement. Saving about $400 and not buying American. Good. #boycottUSA #MadeInCanada #tariffs

#comic #capitalism #communism #shitpost as always, fuck every extractive economy no matter what color their fascist movement purports to be.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

bbc.comICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses reportVideos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

The punishment for Atheists is finding out that there actually is a sexually repressed racist homophobic genocidal infanticidal pestilential old white man who is in charge and will never ever die and get the hell out of the way. A truly horrific fate. #atheism #jokes #banter

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

After the last Epstein drop I think maybe it's we the people, not the parties, who are the controlled opposition.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

Ben Mullin@benmullin.bsky.social

Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.” This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

Frankly, more people should be mad at him. Not for creating 4chan but deciding to create a "containment board" for news/political threads and not deleting it when people vocally complained that it was full of Nazis who were always breaking containment.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt" "They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it" Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally. Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

You've perhaps heard "It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a #profoundly #sick #society" before, but what about the full quote? #Jiddu #Krishnamurti well I don't normally think highly of spiritual speakers, but it's a fire #quote and we all have our moments.

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

This ad also lets me know that Shell supports ICE because they are helping them advertise. Guess I will drive all the way across the intersection to make sure I now longer give them my business.
