She lost the plot later on but Shania Twain was clairvoyant and cooking when she said "OK, so you're Brad Pitt. That don't impress me much!"
I remember during Covid you pointed out that people were feeling their actual economic position rather than the one that cheap goods and services had made them feel. The corruption, climate crisis and lack of cheap money have heightened that even further.
And they’re going to do the same with looking to restrict immigration and asylum seekers, and union busting and antitrust rollbacks and every time they’ll swear it’s just this one thing.

STORY: I booted up the spreadsheet machine and researched all 63 new Conservative MLAs to figure out how much wiggle room Lorne Doerkson has — and how much power his party's hard-right might still wield thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...
Meanwhile Canada's government getting ready to rip us from the clouds of woke joy with an even more neoliberal budget than you can possibly imagine
My indoor cat of a partner whenever I'm heading out to do gay shit and be in community: "Bye baby, have fun with the she/they's!"
Regardless of the money Elon dumped into this election it turns out that putting Grok in unhinged mode to do a vulgar roast doesn't create a galvanizing political message.

New pet peeve: cis men who take up a craft that was historically gendered labour performed by women and acting like victims of misandrist prejudice when not immediately praised for being very special boys. You're not unwelcome you're just incapable of reading a room and matching the vibe.
Women can be assholes now! It's like, in the Equal Rights Amendment or something
The kids hating AI and the gen pop hating data centers, I can promise you that this literally never happened when Silicon Valley was making big leaps and bounds in the 90s tech scene. Email worked. Search worked. Message boards worked. It wasn't some nebulous snake oil looking for a purpose.

Most innovations in information technology got adopted by young people first, by their own choice, then older folks get on board later, after the tech was established. This is the first I can think of where older, more powerful people embraced a new tech innovation and had to force it on the youth.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 6d agoThe Daily Princetonian has published some student reactions to the announcement that the university is giving them all ChatGPT access and -- as most teachers will tell you -- none of the students actually want this garbage. www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2026...
covid reminded us that work is about 70% about control. The boss wants to see you, be seen by you, be in long meetings — productivity be damned. for a worker to deploy an llm or an agent they have to have nominal control of the tool.
![KABAS: Did you stay for the rest of the event after that?
HOYLE: No, a few minutes later, the Secret Service came up and said they wanted to talk to me, and I said, about what? And they didn't identify themselves as Secret Service, and I'm the type of guy—I don't know who you are. Go away from me, dude. I got stuff to do here. So anyway, they said, can we talk to you for a minute? I said yeah, you're talking. Go right ahead. And the guy said, we want to talk over here. I said, well I don't want to go over there. And then the guy said, well, we do. I said, who's we? And they were all—you know, I'm not a small person. That video probably doesn't relay it, but I'm probably about 6’2”, 210 pounds. And I said, well, I don't want to go anywhere with you. Then the guy said he's with Secret Service, and I said, oh, is this about the concession stand? and he said, what'd you do at the concession stand? I said nothing, but it was closed super early and I'm starving. And uh, he didn't like that. And then they walked me out.
And then the gentleman [at the front door] who tried to weed me out on the way in the door by asking me some questions—I talked him out of keeping me out of the event just by talking in circles about heavy metal and about my shirt—well, that guy was walking in as I was walking out after I was ejected, and I said, “Hey man, you didn't vet me too well,” and I kept walking. So they may not have him do their security in the future.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreia7vkkho4lkcfoba6kg6wbnk3lnda4itwohktup4bg446hxlyz23q)
NEW — I spoke to Tom, the guy at the South Carolina Trump rally who compared the president's supporters to the Jonestown Massacre. We talked about his loathing for Trump, his love of death metal, and where he learned his impeccable comedic timing. Read our full chat here:

He planned to make good trouble. But he didn't expect to be handed a Fox News mic.

the reality is that we've been primed for slop for a long time, and betting against it is more a matter of faith than reason (which I am more than fine with, by the way, it is admirable to believe in a better future against all the odds)
More seriously, there are more trillionaires in romance’s fictional worlds than there are dollar stores. That says something about the limits of our political imagination. We think poor people can’t desire without class aspiration.
"We're born alone" is the kind of shit only someone pickled in generations of misogyny could even think to say
Going to start going to AI booster talks and shouting, “but Lieutenant Dan you ain’t got no legs!” And that will be my question that’s really more of a comment.
Why did Canadians elect Mark Carney, British Columbians elect Lorne Doerkson, and Vancouverites elect Pete Fry and a bunch of COPE candidates? Allow me, the pundit, to explain that it's coincidentally due to my own beliefs about political strategy that I talk about all the time.
Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!
Since I tabled my @ndp.ca Bill C-247 to repeal Section 107 and uphold the right to strike, the Liberals have escalated their attacks on workers in Bill C-39. Unions across the country have opposed these new attacks on workers’ Charter protected collective bargaining rights and right to strike.
Man there is nothing on earth that can prepare you for that Megan Thee Stallion video. Lifechanging.
Men need pilates, non-sexual hugs, long walks in the woods and a chill pill. Let's give them personalized porn, retail gambling and mail-order testosterone instead.
Have you advocated for proportional representation? Because anyone making vote splitting arguments, which are only relevant only in First Past the Post, needs to get on the Pro Rep bandwagon and pressure the NDP to stop thwarting electoral reform the way it did in its deliberately opaque referendum
