every thought that you outsource to a LLM is a wasted chance to develop your own knowledge and voice. LLMs are sold to us as progress and freedom, and used against us to further labour and resource exploitation for the sake of capital accumulation

"Stand your ground" alludes to some racialized other enemy who would be a "justifiable" death. Look how well it fits with the "(brown) immigrants are taking over" talk- You get to imagine yourself as a hero in an unlikely situation! To dream a future fuelled by rage! PP was voted out, and yet...
📢 Poilievre is pushing U.S.-style “Stand Your Ground” spin in Canada — twisting a tragic Ontario case to inflame fear and cater to his base.
Fact: Self-defence is already legal in Canada. The law requires reasonable force — CBC debunked his misinformation and set the record straight.

"Incoherent empty men want to sell me the chance to stop reading and writing and thinking, to stop caring for my kids or talking to my parents, to stop choosing what I do or knowing why I do it. Blissful ignorance and total isolation, warm in the womb of the algorithm, nourished by hungry machines."
I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
