Why can’t we rely on Canada, did our government do something that alienated them

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

The black line marks city boundaries.

The red lines show how the UCP aims to weaken your vote by gerrymandering Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Red Deer into pieces to rig the election.

We can't let Danielle Smith get away with it.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

The fun thing about any automation is that it is *most* tempting to use in situations with tight deadlines and cognitive fatigue & *most* impactful for people who don't know how to do it the manual way.

What this means is that when it fails, the operator is structurally *guaranteed* to be fucked.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay @KerryLynneFindl Parents of British Columbia it’s time to fight back! SOGI 123 is NOT education, it’s radical gender ideology pushed into our classrooms. It tells our kids their bodies are “assigned,” gender is whatever they feel, and confuses them with sexual topics far too young, ALL without telling parents. This is stripping us of our rights as stake holders of our children's future and putting the most vulnerable at real risk of irreversible harm. The secrecy and indoctrination stops now. We need to get back to basics. We need to get back to math, science, and the stuff that actually matters and I will repeal SOGI! Join the fight. Protect our kids.

SOGI programs have shown to not only reduce the amount of bullying anxiety and depression that LGBTQ+ children experience but non-LGBTQ+ kids as well.

If you're fighting to get it removed it's because you either don't know what it is or you intentionally want to harm children

honestly tho "no one who runs anything knows how the site works or wants to do anything to improve it and instead all the effort goes to faffing around with nonsense" was the thing that made pre-Elon twitter great in the first place.

Tenets of a horror game:
- The world is like our own, but a few twisted rules create dreadful contrast.
- You must learn these rules to survive.
- An enemy is chasing you. It can't be killed, only outrun.
- If you get away, the game will contrive to have it catch up.

Therefore Mario Kart is horror.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop.

Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything.

It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

People like Abdulwaha are 1) not actually usually left-wing, they're Third Worldist bourgeois nationalists for the most part; and 2) they are constitutionally incapable of being part of a majoritarian coalition. You want them out before they wreck things from the inside.

remains wild to me that the GOP is the party that's actually treating their opponents like they're an immediate and dire threat that must be eliminated at all costs meanwhile the Dems are like "hmm not sure I totally agree with all of this but let's hear these guys out, just in case"

really cannot be overstated how much contempt the Israeli government has for left wing Jews in the diaspora

Bibi et al would, by and large, actually like us to be targeted so that either we’ll get in line or our corpses will further their political goals

1908: the Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals, calls for 18 age limit on reading in bed amidst a moral panic surrounding children becoming "addicted" to novels, which were "designed to keep kids hooked" and destroy their attention/mental health

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history.

In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes to Province.

Exclusive | OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago The ChatGPT maker opted against informing Canadian authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaar’s descriptions of violence last June.

The Tumbler Ridge shooter had used OpenAI to discuss scenarios involving gun violence.

It was bad enough to get flagged and reviewed by employees, who warned the company & suggested alerting law enforcement.

The company said No.

This tragedy could have been prevented.

Gut wrenching.

Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.

If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I read somewhere 'The US isn't like the US because of Trump, Trump is like Trump because of the way the US is' and I really do think this explains why Trump's getting away with what he's getting away with.

I checked. This appears to be a breach of the provincial Elections Act. Municipalities are not allowed to provide a venue for the signing.

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.

She keeps getting chances to show some loyalty to Canada -- and keeps turning them away in order to defend Alberta separatists and their cause.

It's who she is. It's time we all started saying it. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Let this be a lesson on the benefits of showing kindness to these people

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
