Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series

TIL we're getting a gritty Riverdale style Scooby-Doo reboot and it's going to be so bad and I cannot wait.

The Fanfare Around the Band Geese Actually Was a Psyop The Brooklyn band Geese was labeled an “industry plant” by those who questioned its sudden ubiquity. Maybe it was.

why does the internet have a habit of calling astroturfing a "psy-op."

I do not think any of this meets the definition of psy-op but it certainly meets the definition of astroturfing.

There's also the possibility I'm wrong.

what's most incredible about this is the framing of this discussion is entirely focussed on the loss of at home delivery.

there doesn't appear to be a large public conversation or dialogue happening right now about how this is the loss of a viable career.

If you want young people to buy houses and start families help them make enough money that they won't have to work until they're in the grave lol.

what a farce.

I can't wrap my around making a whole thing about how young people aren't buying houses or aren't starting families and then they're just going take away but one of the most rock-solid careers you can walk into without much schooling?

Canadians rejoice. We're so lucky to lose opportunities like this!

it's good and progressive that the Canadian government is scaling back Canada Post.

It's good and progressive that an incredibly viable career that offers a pension and benefits is probably going to be replaced by a private, for-profit service that pays minimum wage and offers no pension.

People like this wonder why victims don't come forward about these things and then this is how they respond when people do come forward. They answer their own question every time.

clever Hans, is that you up there?

Pretty sure my upstairs neighbour is a horse who performs mathematics by stomping on the floor.

I was away from this place for three weeks and it was so great not hearing this all day.

it's the perfect non sequitur

A Reddit post titled "Elton John reveals he is unable to watch his own musical after losing eyesight." The top comments on this post reads "this is wild to me because when I was a kid I thought he was blind because of the glasses. then I found out he is just gay. anyway, wishing him all the best."

Every once in a while I think about this reddit comment I saw two years ago because it makes me laugh.

That's understandable too!! It sucks to have that joy taken away.

Malcolm in the Middle reboot was great, honestly.

The vibe was there.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

I caught a bit of a PWHL game the other day and it was really enjoyable to watch! Highly recommend.

When people say the Swalwell allegations are a distraction from Trump/Epstein (they are all part of the same bigger picture), I have to wonder why these people even supposedly care about Trump and Epstein. Do you care about sexual violence or don’t you? Why do you only care about some of it?

It's neat she's made a commitment to the charter or they're ensuring a commitment to the charter, but a person holding those beliefs should not have any kind of power in government.

People like that should be pushed out of government because I think history shows what can happen when they remain.

I agree that much of the country dancing around it is dangerous. My issue is I don't know what it says that somebody with those values is accepted into the liberal party.

I have concerns about that as a citizen.

regardless of a commitment to the charter, why does it have to be her?

That's a good endorsement. I'm pumped 😎

A book with an airship on the cover titled "His Majesty's Airship: The life and tragic death of the world's largest flying machine. Author: S.C. Gwynne.

I did it. I found the perfect book.

Depp v Heard social media presence was such a masterclass in astroturfing.

I think that's maybe where we differ.

It's a huge concern to me and I would like a more satisfying answer than we've been given. I would like her to demonstrate that she does not believe those things anymore.

I am not comfortable with people who have those values being in government.
