A lot of people will keep telling you to "have faith in the system" simply because they need the rest of us to validate their delusions.

Dear. God. If anyone ever tells you AI is good or useful, PLAY THEM THIS
Oh my GOD. The song that Rudy Giuliani used in his anti-Zohran post is fucking AI-generated.
It's a song called "September 11, 2001" and it's from some AI slop factory called The Experience. You need to hear how bad this song is.

Time for Tim Houston‘s Annual Remembrance Day Rage Bait. Astonishing that people fall for this cynical move, but they guzzle it up. LOVE it. It becomes a giant psychological piñata - people can bash everyone from leftists to DEI to immigrants. Fascinating exercise in fascist manipulation.

Living in my brain: The rain is so cosy. I’ve always loved the rain. Now it’s full of microplastics. I wonder how much plastic was in the rain when I was five?

This feels like a fundamental realignment in Canadian politics.
The Conservatives are completing their regression, begun in the 2015 “barbaric cultural practices” election, to their Reform Party roots.
The Liberals now resemble not the Mulroney PCs but the Harper Conservatives.
And the NDP is MIA.

Political AF: Teen Vogue axing most of their political journalists.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I know that I’m supposed to value and support the CBC. I really, really want to value and support the CBC. I WILL return to valuing and supporting the CBC when they value and support science on climate, ecology and Covid. Until then, I seek my sources more responsibly.

While there were A LOT of problems with the ‘80s it was fun (and useful) as a young women to be able to terrify people with a weird haircut and a ton of eyeliner. Now I have to terrify them with climate science facts.
