Rich liberals wouldn’t want to be told that they “voted for” the carpet bombing of Gaza. But they don’t want to be held to the standard to which they’re holding minimum wage waitresses organizing to defend their deported friend and colleague.

was just told to stop replying to every compliment with "I don't know about that"

bringing this over

ad for a big honkin truck playing on CBC’s website before a video of helicopter footage showing “wildfires filling the sky with smoke around the community” of Pimicikamak Cree Nation

love the juxtaposition of ad for Unjustifiably Big Truck and news article about forest fire evacuations

I'm in the fast lane doing the speed limit because that's as fast as you can go 😊 everybody beeps at me to thank me for keeping them safe

Thinking of Conan O'Brien on what would have been his 62nd birthday, if he had been born on May 27

this makes sense. it is one of the more famous Films, and for good reason!

i watched “bicycle thieves” the other day 👍

now THAT’S what i like to hear 😎

not much tbh

A group of youths beat me with golf clubs. Though painful, it was heartening seeing young people going outside and getting involved with the community. This optimism may have something to do with parts of my brain now being exposed to the air and sun, but I'm tired of pessimism and now choose joy.

nothing but the best for the beautiful people of winnipeg, manitoba 😤

I’m mostly like this by design

it does if you keep saying it does. i, for one, am plugging my fingers in my ears about this whole affair! 🫡

it’s ok! i just think we all need this reminder sometimes. after all, Lenin tells us that when we fail to organize more widely it is not the masses we should blame, but ourselves 🫡

i do not see how it is helpful to our political project as communists to label everyone who doesn’t already agree with us as “stupid.” seems kinda intuitive, honestly. the people who don’t agree with us are the very people we desperately need to convince :)

so excited to be finished writing my french exam tomorrow so that i can delete duolingo from my phone and never look back. they make it so fuckin annoying to use if you’re not willing to spend $200 upfront. a nearly grindr-level bombardment of ads

This is my favorite kind of AI take: phrased as a dunk but immediately grants the central complaint that most people are actually making about LLMs, which is that they do not and cannot do the thing they’re widely marketed to do

this isn’t about having hope. it’s about persevering in spite of its absence. there will ALWAYS be next year for the toronto maple leafs hockey club 🫡

there’s always next year :)

oh hey, that’s right. we beat ottawa in 6. that was fun :)

i was six years old the last time the leafs played a fourteenth game in the same postseason. this is literally the best result i can remember them having. and that has to count for something

i mean, yeah it sucks that the leafs are losing in yet another game seven but when you consider the fact that this is the furthest they’ve advanced in the playoffs since 2002, ya gotta just take the wins where you can find ’em. or failing that — the “least immediate losses”

animal crossing villager: "Kill the Boer," huh... Kind of catchy! I like it!
