Thanks to @sarobertson.bsky.social for clipping this. The purported manifesto is an incel critique of capitalism with calls for a revolution to remake society into a misogynist hell. It takes ideas from the left and right but the common thread is a hatred of how women live their lives in the West.
Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · last mo.Carvin: If this is the manifesto, it is what I would describe as an incel critique of capitalism. And he's really coming at a variety of different topics in here. You do have ideas, I would say, from the extreme left and the extreme right. But the continuing thread throughout is a hatred of women.
Everyone is so used to products being from either a top 100 global company trying to establish a new market monopoly, or a startup trying to go x1000, that they can't understand that sometimes it's possible for someone to just release something that a few people will buy and get value out of it

Today’s Canadian painting is “Delphiniums” painted by Claude A Simard in 1996.
“The CAQ government’s version of laïcité has led to documented systemic discrimination and has consequently cast religion as suspicious and undesired in public spaces, with some Quebecers now naturally concluding that it’s not even welcome in private spaces.”
“Banning Muslim women who wear the hijab or a Jewish educator who wears the kippah from teaching runs the risk of creating generations of adults who’ll look upon cultural & religious difference as “strange,” “suspicious” or “unfitting of authority positions.” It perpetuates stereotypes & prejudice.”

If you forget to soften butter, you can just run it through a cheese grater. The greatly increased surface area gets you the same effect of having softened the butter for nearly all use cases that ask for softened but not melted butter.
Ada Palmer@adapalmer.bsky.social · 2mo agoLet's do a TIME SAVING COOKING TIPS thread! 🥗🥞🍚🧅🔥🍲🥫👨🍳 Share your tips for saving time/effort. I'll start: Caramelized onion freezes! When caramelizing onion do 2x, 3x, 4x & freeze some in a ziploc pressed flat in a thin sheet so it's easy to break chunks off. Or bulk caramelize in crockpot & freeze.
Perched quietly above the shoreline, this purple martin looked almost unreal in the soft coastal light tonight. Its feathers shifted between deep violet, cobalt, and midnight blue depending on how the light hit them.
My favourite time of year in Montreal is around now, when "Montrealhenge" is happening: The sun sets due north (according to the orientation of the streets)
Rich Lafferty@rich.lafferty.ca · 2mo agothe best part about montreal directions is that while it's understandable that an offset street grid would develop a local idea of north and south, montreal's is greater than 45 degrees off -- "north" is roughly northwest, but it's closer to west than it is to north!
