I'm hoping to see more Canadian content on Bluesky, connect with fellow disabled folks and researchers in Asian philosophy.

Typo in title of video, which is actually "This is why ram is 500 bucks." Forgive me for leaving it like that, but I am much more accustomed to word processing, which would not require me to delete and repost the entire chain...

Finally a young white androgynous person with a pony tail at the top of their head looks with dull eyes at the screen while bobbing their head. Their image is flashed with images of cats and hearts.

Next there are flashes of a root vegetable being peeled by hand. Then more butterfly stickers.
January 22, 2026 at 3:10 PM
Next, flashing images of a sad fluffy orange flashes with a line up of computer avatars who appear sadly defeated with their heads hanging low. Meanwhile a disembodied cartoon hand in the lower part of the screen first makes a come here gesture, then a thumbs up gesture, and a thumbs down gesture.

Next, there is a black ball being pushed by a disembodied cartoon hand through a cloudscape towards a pulshing light.

Next, a giant computer chip is shown being installed by a white person's hand in a sanitized office environment.

Back on the streets of minneapolis, a cartoon sun with a human face and three eyes hovers over the lower part of the screen while masked ICE officers are shown repeatedly slipping and falling on ice.
January 22, 2026 at 3:10 PM
Next, a cartoon sea is featured with a giant orange angry man's head that eats a diving video game avatar. Then a dog head appears in place of the man's head and eats another avatar. The same happens with a killer whale head and then a tea cup with an angry woman's face, all eating avatars.

Next, Charlie XCX is featured doing somewhat blasé dance moves with her arms. She is wearing a t-shirt with Sid Vicious on it. Her figure moves backwards between tall data towers on either side. Butterfly stickers fly around her.

The dog is replaced by a cat walking uncertainly on a dimly lit sidewalk. Emergency vehicle lights flicker on the cat who meows and sits down. Footage from ICE raids in houses rolls in the lower part of the screen. The word Sheriff is on a uniform. Hearts decorate and transition ICE videos.
January 22, 2026 at 3:10 PM
Next, a dog with slicked down fur is featured while it raises its muzzle beseechingly. There appears to be a pool of spreading blood on the ground at their feet. Footage from an in-home ICE raid is shown in the lower part of the screen.
January 22, 2026 at 3:10 PM
Next, a group of robed figures pray to an icon of an eye within a sun. In the background there are data towers flashing and what seem to be metal prison beds. The background then turns to a pool table. One man with face unseen takes a shot that bounces off the bumpers.
January 22, 2026 at 3:10 PM
Next, a masked ICE agent watches from the side as a video game avatar appears in tight clothing and flips down into a 3D motherboard. A bomb blows up into butterflies and ICE agents appear with data towers flashing behind them.
January 22, 2026 at 3:10 PM
In the background, an aerial shot of AI data centres quickly gives way to the snowy streets of Minnesota. We see the tree that Renee Good's car drove into after she was murdered by an ICE agent.

A young woman's slim body poses fretfully in short white jean shorts and a red halter top while taking a selfie. The face on the body is Epstein's face wearing glasses. There is a heart drawn around the face and hearts flashing in the background. Star stickers also appear as ornamentation.

Study finds tariffs are working as tariffs do.

A machine with zero actual stakes in this world trained by jerk-faces drowning in privilege suggests that "curiosity-driven approaches" could offer any kind of worthwhile methodological principles. Shocking.

Sure but don't explain it too well in case they notice the relative lack of consequences for mass-murdering and experimenting on disabled people specifically youtu.be/vry33t9BWL8?...
