the only reason jordan peterson is still alive is because his parasite needs him alive

"Keeping streets safe" is BS language politicians and cops use to cover up what they really mean which is "I don't want my bougie voters having to see the poors."

Inspiring demotivational found at the end of my mail tray today ✊📮

solar is so cool man. I climbed up on my shed roof last week and installed a panel to charge my yard tools and now I’m mowing my lawn with power I stole from a fucking star

The conservatives are mailing this racist dog-whistle disinformation out. This claim has been debunked by @breachmedia.ca already months ago youtu.be/PS2F6Be0huo?...

Andor is the closest thing we have to a historically accurate account of the Rebellion. Movies are Jedi propaganda. Luke never existed; Leia did, but not as she's shown. Han Solo is a composite dirtbag. Chewbacca was a more important leader than them all but sidelined by humanocentric racism.

ENGAGEMENT BAIT! What is your MOST CONTROVERSIAL Star Wars opinion? And I don't want embarrassingly lukewarm takes like "Jabba The Hutt was actually a good employer". I need opinions that could land you in jail. GO!

I'm glad an increasing number of writers, activists, and people I admire are leaving twitter, closing the comments on their articles/vids, and coming over to Bluesky so I can finally just say nice things to them where they'll hear it.

Quite possibly the best poorly-translated safety warning I've seen in years

Hey, if you're feeling like life has passed you by and you're too old to start something new, remember that John Brown was 55 before he killed his first pro-slavery settler in the Kansas Territory. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

Folks talking about how Gen Z and younger folks in general aren't equipped for the violent collapse of the violent western empire need to give this based rant a listen

Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting. She had some things she needed to get off her chest

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

My mom reminded me that milk safety was foundational to why the Women's Institute was formed. Pasteurization has always been a feminist issue!

Here is my latest. Sylvain Charlebois, Canada's beloved commentator on the food industry, thinks that not giving us access to raw milk is communism. noraloreto.substack.com/p/canadas-fo...

Had a nice convo with an old lady while delivering her parcel. I explained to her why her mail is late this winter (Canada post is delaying it by denying overtime and then refusing to staff). Then she started going off about "nazi-communists" and chemtrails. Ooooh boy 😆

Fantastic stuff as always by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger. I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca

Convinced Taco and his flock to leave the heated coop and venture out into the run. Looking forward to putting a roof over this during the spring

Decades later, Michael Parenti’s "Inventing Reality" remains one of the best-written critiques of mainstream media. It’s a masterclass in how news is shaped to serve power. A must-read for anyone seeking the clarity to cut through the mainstream media’s manufactured narratives.

Outstanding 👏

Every winter I'll deliver mail to residents who'll chat about how rough it must be to do my job in the winter. I really don't mind! What's the worst is the summers where your truck is over 50 C and not all the trucks have AC but have illegal tracking devices instead

I think I need to start listening to this. The reading of JRR Tolkien's take on aircraft is fantastic. I knew Tolkien's work was informed by an anti-war sentiment but didn't know this dude went so hard on it. Is Tolkien based?

austin_walker@austinwalker.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Ever wonder “what did Tolkien think of the plane?” Or “what if goblins were played by the Beastie Boys?” Well, I’ve got the show for you.

"For three decades, the goal of tech development has not been to improve our lives or to serve the public good, but rather to maximize shareholder value and to increase the power of the companies that control it...We need to recognize that was a choice, and we can choose to take a different path."

For decades, Canadians eagerly rushed onto US tech platforms and services. But now the drawbacks of that dependence are on full display. For @policyalternatives.ca, I explain the economic and political consequences of a US-dominated internet — and why digital sovereignty is imperative.

The lawlessness of the US government provides even further justification for collective efforts to boycott the United States, to make it feel some degree of consequences for its illegal and destabilizing behaviour globally. That means avoiding travel, boycotting its companies, and similar actions.

🎯 This US jingoism is about oil and imperialism. Don't buy the old line about "freedom and democracy." If the US cared about democracy they'd have one that functioned and wouldn't have a reputation of coups, assassinations, and installing monarchs and dictators (see: Shah of Iran). Solidarity with🇻🇪

wild to see every news outlet use the term "capture" to describe what happened. we're not at war with venezuela! this is *objectively* an illegal kidnapping of a sovereign country's leader

There’s no getting around the fact that generative AI resides on a foundation of theft and counterfeiting on a previously unimaginable scale.

I mean when they put it that way it's pretty convincing. So when are we smashing up data centres?
