The CIA was establishing multiple horrifying dictatorships in the third world at that time. Those regimes perpetuated MASSIVE amounts of sexual violence against women and children. I tried looking into the history of human rights abuses in Brazil at the time and I had to stop. It was depraved.

"Gloria Steinem spoke openly about her work as a CIA agent in the 1950s and ’60s after a magazine revealed it.. She defended her work, saying: “In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable.” RIP🌺 but Rest in Power is inappropriate.

techno-optimists befuddled by declining popular support for “the robot that tells you to kill yourself”, “the pervert glasses“, and “the camera network that stalks you”

RIP Tim Curry, who had the range to star in the two greatest movies about a mutiny in the middle of a transatlantic sea voyage, and also the crew occasionally breaks into song

Tim Curry as Dr. Petrov in The Hunt for Red OctoberTim Curry as Long John silver in Muppet Treasure Island, and also Sweetums

I'm not gonna sit here & pretend I'm an expert on economics or trade because I am definitely not. But to everyone saying "Canada has to give up XYZ or else we'll be at war the US"? Baby, we *are* at war with the US. We have long crossed the Rubicon.

every once in a while i will feel a great pressure to exist, but then i just have to sit back and relax and remind myself 'oh wait, you already exist without even trying. GOOD JOB.' i think this realization can be a huge relief

I know some of y'all are going to call this a reach but the fervour for AI is directly tied to rape culture. A world that says "If you didn't want your art stolen, you should have never shared it with the world" is such a blatant consent violation.

Yeah, a reminder that I am aggressively anti Generative AI because I'm a consent educator. I know how consent works. And a world that says "You wrote a book? Cool, let me guzzle a lake's worth of water to steal that and repackage it" is a world I don't want to participate in.

Not a single word about protecting or compensating Canadian artists whose work has been stolen by tech companies and spit out again in a slightly altered form.

At the start of my terrorism studies course, I ask students what most terrorists have in common. They always say: 1- Mental illness 2- Religion. They are, of course, wrong. The two most common traits of violent extremists are: 1- Gender 2- History of domestic violence and online mysogyny.
