If I were a Canadian MP, I'd create a list of every American politician and media personality who's joking approvingly about or otherwise encouraging the idea of the US annexing Canada and ban them from Canada forever. They won't care, but it would show…

If elected, I vow to wake Azathoth, the mad sleeping god whose dream contains all of existence and whose waking will end the world. Until then, I vow to provide free daycare. Just because you and your children are mere figments of an insane deity doesn't…

I haven't deleted my Twitter account because I truly believe there's a non-zero chance its current owner will fall out of a window, either with a little help from ketamine or a little help from something else. But in the defenestrationless meantime, my…

I'm guessing Adams will hold onto his position like grim death because his only value to Trump is in being mayor of NYC. If he resigns, Trump could punish him by reinstating the charges. Also, he's a corrupt weirdo, being mayor of a major city is one of…

The cybertruck hasn't achieved much, but it has demonstrated how well other cars are designed. The universal base level of competent car design was kind of invisible until the cybertruck. It's like if a toilet came out that sprays shit across the room,…

I understand why some Americans are so desperate for Trump voters to turn on him that they're willing to welcome them back with open arms, but I haven't yet seen anyone actually say how that looks or what they think that'll accomplish.

If anyone wants to have me on their podcast to explain how season 2 of SEVERANCE is only about 70% as good as season 1 because rather than a story unfolding (mostly) organically, the story is now being forced along in order to hit certain plot points…

Just saw an ad for the Liberals on YouTube where they splice footage of Trump saying something with Poilievre saying the same thing. It physically hurts me to praise the Liberals, but yeah, they done good with this one. They've actually correctly read the…

It's interesting that two of the buzziest shows of the last five years, SEVERANCE and YELLOWJACKETS, are about people trapped in a strange place, while other versions of them are not trapped and live normal lives, and cults abound.

Getting an influx of new resistance followers, and I don't know why you're following me, but I am most definitely not the account you're looking for. To put it bluntly, I think you're all (to varying degrees) members of a digital cult.

I've heard—and I have no proof of this—but I have heard from several reputable sources that if you're a regular at Taco Bell and you tell them you're having a bad day, they will take you in back and let you watch them ring the bell.

It's fascinating that the article mentions and links to the "it's like Kendrick-Drake if both of them were Drake" Bluesky post (and was potentially even inspired by that post)... and yet completely misses the point of that post. [contains quote post or…

Look, no one can ever really know what's happening in someone else's relationship. But, out of the thousands of photos I'm sure they took, posting the one where she looks great and he looks like that... well, it's a choice. And it isn't exactly making me…

A giant account *with the word alt in its name* just did this. Admitted they were using a meme someone else made, and didn't even bother to alt text it. It's just so lazy. Drives me nuts. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

My god this scene was spectacular. Having the male hero of a tv show sob with guilt and shame because he was a victim and was forced to victimize others would be a remarkable, progressive storyline if it came out today. This was 35 years ago. [contains…

Just found an account here that's following 133k accounts. They have 40k followers and I estimate their posts get about the same amount of engagement as someone with 5-7k organic followers. You can game the system here for followers, but you can't game it…

That'll show him? It's funny how the actions Canadians are taking on their own, like buying more Canadian products, will actually be helpful going ahead, meanwhile 5 people who literally led this country couldn't come up with anything more impressive to…

A few times on here, someone has been belligerent in my replies, we argue, and then they straight up try to lie to me about what was said during the exchange. I assume this tactic works for them IRL and they're not intellectually nimble enough to adapt to…

It'll never cease to amaze me that so many people consider it less rude to waste someone's time by sending them poorly written AI slop than to simply send them the bullet points that were used to generate the slop. I understand the preference for…

LOTR, the movies: oh my god, Frodo has been stabbed, we must run with all haste to get him to safety LOTR, the books: oh my god, Frodo has been stabbed, we must run with all haste to get him to safety in like four days and Sam's gonna sing a little song in…

We don't have football in Canada. We have a game called "grass hockey," which is not field hockey, soccer, rugby, American football, or lacrosse, but a secret and terrible game. You have to wear ice skates to play it. Every game results in at least three…

It's not surprising someone like Trudeau is all in on AI, a hollow technology that's all about appearances over substance and supporting corporations over workers. https://globalnews.ca/news/11011068/trudeau-paris-artificial-intelligence-summit/

If someone has already replied with the answer you were going to give, you like that answer to show that you agree. When you reply to a post with a reply that's already been given, you're not contributing to a conversation, you're spamming it. Unless…

I use a Macbook for work and updated it yesterday. The update automatically turned on Apple Intelligence and I had to turn it off. I can't think of any other product in modern history that has been so sweatily shoved onto customers by companies. Is there…

One thing I really like about Mastodon is you can make notes on someone else's account that only you can read. I wish Bluesky would include something like that. I'm a vengeful person with a bad memory, I need a reminder to know exactly why I'm holding a…

This is a long read but it's important Canadians know this evil shit is happening here, and if Poilievre wins, it'll accelerate. And we have got to start calling adults who are obsessed with policing the gender and sexuality of children by the proper…

There was a semi-viral post here a while ago about how once his voters realize Trump is hurting them too, they should be welcomed with open arms. I just can't stop thinking about someone, in the midst of all this, deciding the most important thing is…

Europe's great hope for AI is a company that is going to constantly be misspelled and mispronounced as "mistrial" and whose flagship product is called "Le Chat," which sounds like a parody of a European AI. Or like a sex chat app you have to pay $9.99 a…

Okay, turns out Canada's defence minister is stupid as a box of rocks. If one of my parents said something half as senseless as what this guy is saying I'd petition the courts to make me their legal guardian because anyone this easy to fool is going to…

There's a ghost town in the mountains of Colorado called Gothic which also functions as a biological laboratory. I just... I can't even with that. That is so extremely the location of a horror movie that it's horseshoed around to being the least sinister…

They have to stop putting singers through this. Have the US anthem be a recording everyone can boo, and have the person who was supposed to sing it sing a song Canadians love. Like the DEGRASSI JUNIOR HIGH theme song. [contains quote post or other…

I don't think this is AI slop. I think humans made this & unintentionally edited it so badly it looks like AI slop, which is just funny. Zoom in on the 3-fingered hand on the left holding the flag. It looks like the index finger was there behind the metal…

A MAGA troll who may or may be a bot followed me and I was curious to see how their troll operation is going so I looked at their account before blocking. They have 3 followers: a romance scam, a photography bot, and a resistance account with…

My first thought reading this was the fiance (who should've been an immediate suspect) must be a cop but I couldn't find anything about his job. Then I found an article saying the fiance's uncle was allowed to remove the victim's belongings from the crime…

I don't think Canadian politicians fully grasp how quickly we need to disconnect our economy from the US as much as is humanly possible. Not just because their demented pervert president is trying to invade us, but because their other demented pervert…
