Brown Belt in BJJ...Black Belt in being a dumbass

Doing a lot of self reflection lately and I think the thing that haunts me the most is that twice in my life I've taken absolute assbeatings from dudes named Riley

[Brandy Jensen @BrandyLJensen]

you’re telling me Chris Nolan, the guy who ushered in the modern age of superhero movies, keeps making films about men who must reckon with their guilt over loosing horrors upon the world

[Jordo @veryADVANCED]

a lot of people, especially westerners, especially-especially americans, conflate considering others with being controlled & respond with defiance. it’s very weird behavior.

The funniest possible outfit you can say this sentence while wearing

Actually hilarious to say the US empire has historically been propping up left-wingers in Latin America bro read one book

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

The Liberals have used their newly acquired majority to push through major changes to Canada’s laws at the last minute and shut down debate on legislation with major implications for the lives of all Canadians.

This is not normal. This is what happens when a government thinks it can act with impunity.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

This is an important moment to see how empty and manipulative the term "terrorist" is, despite how central it has become in our law, foreign policy, wars and political discourse. The word has never had any real fixed meaning.

But in the hands of Israel, it gets applied even to the targeting of soldiers with invading armies. Hezbollah kills armed IDF soldiers occupying Lebanese land -- not civilians, but soldiers -- and that's "terrorism."

Same with the West Bank: a 14-year-old Palestinian kid throws a rock at an armed IDF soldier illegally occupying their land and that gets called "terrorism."

The term "terrorism" has no meaning other than: those who fight against Israel.

Cuba helped several African countries in their liberation struggles against brutal colonial occupiers, including against the apartheid regime in South Africa which the US backed and supported. That’s what he means by “radical left-wing terrorism”, just to be clear.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Bees are responsible for pollinating about one in three bites of the food we eat. They are far more important to humans than any AI tool or data center.

There's thousands of people who live on the streets in BC. We have some of the highest levels of income inequality and a fentanyl crisis killing more people every single day.

This is not only an environmental disaster but a middle finger to humanity itself

[Aidan Simardone @AidanSimardone]

Ya dude let’s build some water sucking, energy consuming facilities during an energy crisis, from our taxes

Why are threesomes only for sex?
Why can't I join in on a couple's argument in public if I have a good point to make?

[NDP @NDP]

Did you know that corporations could use your data to charge you more?

They’re investing in AI and algorithmic tools to track your personal information – and then use it to set the highest price they think you’ll pay.

It’s called “surveillance pricing,” and it means two people can pay different prices for the exact same product.

The NDP is calling for a national ban on the practice before it becomes the norm. Because AI shouldn’t decide what you pay at checkout.

We just cut the postal service's entire budget and Mark Carney openly mocked an Indigenous woman who asked if her water could stop being poisoned by mercury

Finally the leader of a political party has the courage to say it all out loud: enough cowardice from the west as the US and Israel commit war crimes and genocide

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

Judge rules that 17-year-old Walid Ahmad likely starved to death in Israeli military detention, but closes the case anyway. Israel never charged him with a crime and still holds his body. Here’s how he died, as reported by his cellmate, 16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim:

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Anyone gonna say anything about Lebanon’s right to exist?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

4 and a half thousand Palestinian hostages held by Israel. No one says a word.

84 hostages including one child have died in Israeli detention. No one says a word.

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

The Liberal government is “appalled” at the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which is causing economic damage.
Yet it is utterly silent at the blockade of Cuba, which is causing death to innocents.
That’s not only incoherent, it’s immoral.

[Franc Jameso @Torrrdddy]

I wonder if the staffer who wrote this had even a moment of reflection after typing the word "unjustifiable"

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

My #G7 counterparts and I condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s unjustifiable attacks and stand firmly with our partners in the region. As we meet next week at the #G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, we will continue to call for the immediate and unconditional cessation of all attacks, the protection of civilians and critical infrastructure, and reaffirm our commitment to regional stability, energy security, and maritime safety.
