there are two types of fans of things- those who treat it like a hobby and understand it's ok to laugh at things you enjoy and those who use it to replace church or whatever in their lives and are very vigilant against Blasphemy

One of the worst things MS has done is make my future uncertain. Healthy people can plan for fun things to do when they retire but for me it's like well I'd LIKE to do this but... and I get that realistically it's like that for everyone because things happen but it's more likely for me

Remember when "zombies" used to be a metaphor for people who were brainwashed by greed to fully submit to capitalism instead of a way to dehumanize people who are suffering?

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris

This is the last bipartisan consensus in America; basically everybody agrees that if you murder someone with your car it should be legal.

this guy (doomloop dispatch) literally killed a biker with his car… and he’s posting on twitter how it just made him even more anti-bike lane. The NIMBYs are not OK.

"As Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei Asia found in a recent investigation, just five US tech giants — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle — are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets. futurism.com/artificial-i...

AI Companies Are Trying to Hide a Staggering Amount of Debt

AI companies are pouring tens of billions of dollars into enormous data centers. They're being built on top of a mountain of hidden debt.

For everyone in Canada who thinks privatizing healthcare is a good idea: Let's do roads first. We'll sell all our roads to private corporations for maintenance/upgrades and then pay user fees to access them. If in 10 years we find this has worked well, we can consider moving to healthcare.

O Brother Where Art Thou? An adaptation of the Odyssey Star Trek? The Odyssey. Star Wars? Odyssey Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle? Believe it or not, the Odyssey.

One takeaway that sticks with me is that the cost of giving every citizen everything they need for accessibility was outweighed by the gain to GDP from productivity by something like a trillion dollars.

I would love to go back to being able to just wiggle some antenna on the top of my TV around and watching shows for free That sounds awesome.

Husted: "We have created the demand for these data centers bc we use all these digital products, and if we don't want them, then don't use them. I mean, you can go back to the bunny ear antenna on your TV, you don't need a data center ... understand, when we look in the mirror, we are the problem."

my mom was abusive so it's a low bar to be better than her but let me assure you that Trump has limboed under that bar

my husband bought me an iPad for my birthday so I could doodle. I am trying to teach myself how to use it and also how to do textures and stuff. I drew a grumpy piece of toast (I spent so much time on that peanut butter omg) and a grumpy gull. Apparently all the things I doodle look annoyed with me.

This is disgusting. VicPD 100% does NOT have the ability, skills or even the desire to handle homicide investigations. My husband's coworker was murdered and VicPD did absolutely nothing. This is egotistical and reckless and will cause a lot of harm.

Susan Kim 김수잔@susankimyyj.bsky.social · 2w ago

Chief: Now in a position where we have skills, abilities, resources to handle those homicide investigation ourselves. We intend to bring those members back to VicPD. Files with VIMCU right now is a discussion and process right now, with number of considerations.

maybe sometimes we prove love just by showing up and watching the timeline change around us. maybe it doesnt have to make sense

I love how drivers blame cyclists for their emissions You see, cyclists = bike lanes bike lanes = less room for personal vehicles less room for personal vehicles = more idling more idling = more emissions you'd think this would mean they'd switch to an EV but no the only solution is no bike lanes

This is a great deal. I got two commissions from Joe and they are so fantastic. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

In case you’re a bit struck and overwhelmed by how many announcements Carney has been making, here’s him talking about something he said he learned from Trump: Carney sees “the effectiveness, the value” of “flooding the zone.”

there is a dude who rides a motorbike up and down the bike lane near my house on weekends. Possibly daily - I'm only ever out on the weekends. Goes up then comes back a couple minutes later. Today there was a bicycle so he had to go on the road, poor muffin tl;dr painted bike lanes are bs
