We should probably bring back writs of outlawry for the shareholders. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/06/24/surveillance-tech-company-is-pitching-an-unholy-alpr-stingray-hybrid-to-law-enforcement/

I love that my first consideration for buying any appliance, these days, is: "This isn't going to try to connect to the internet, is it?"

RE: https://mastodon.online/@jonsnow/117007302968226693 I don't know. It's not like you're going to "directly protest" the CEO, or the main shareholders, or the politicians who make it happen. And if you're not going to "directly protest" those people, they will never be afraid, so they will know to keep doing what they are doing already except doing it harder than ever.

I don't understand what it is about Strictly Come Dancing / Dancing with the Stars that appeals to people. Is it like pornography to viewers, turning them on or something? How can be it be so popular? Why don't they watch real porn instead?

What are you even talking about? I can spend an hour jerking off to whatever niche interest I want, order a meal from the best restaurant in town, and then watch any movie or read any book ever made to round out the morning. It's a pretty good time as long as you don't mind watching the world fall apart and there not being a realistic thing you can do about it except to go jail for killing the people responsible. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jul/26/age-of-de...

47 degrees? I bet you Carney is as hard for some new pipelines as Danielle Smith is wet. Do you think it makes the orgasm more intense when they think on excess deaths inflicted on the elderly? Or how polluted air, especially like from forest fires, kills babies more than others? Do you think me acting like our political leaders are sexually fulfilled by snuff is inaccurate? Do you think they do it for the money alone? It's got to be #loveofthegame #canada https://www.independent.co.u...

I would like to thank the Liberal Party of Canada for choosing the American shareholders, you know the ones who profit from Alberta's oil, over every human being in #Canada . #canpol https://apnews.com/article/wildfire-smoke-sick-dying-asthma-heartattack-climate-65b51f04cd29648d952a7e41160841d3

The secret to work is that it ruins also everything before and after work that day. Life is endless setback and disappointment. My only good time is free time that's surrounded by enough free time to feel worth having.

#Montreal Fact: The Catholic Church blamed the 1885 small pox outbreak on women being whores and sluts during the Winter Carnival. Specifically, they were riding toboggans on the toboggan hill. Scandalous. Secular states, try them.

When Mark Carney say that "emissions standards" are a national unity issue, he meant that it's okay for Alberta to kill the most vulnerable but if you were to kill a fossil fuels shareholder to defend the most needy, you'd go to jail. #deathcult https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/heat-mortality-quebec-1.7239971

Remember that when you choose to vote for parties that support fossil fuels, you vote to kill other human beings who are just as smart, just as loving, just as loved, and just as important as you are. Be the change you want to see and maybe other people won't vote to kill you one day. #murder https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/03/deaths-france-surged-hottest-week-record-heatwave-june

Every politician at every level is into AI right now not because they believe it will ever turn a profit, or ever be worthy, or even useful, but only because there is a fortune in grift money to be made in building data centers and handing out contracts. There is a fortune to be made at the taxpayer expense. It&#39;s always always always about the money.

Gosh, I wonder why every government and company everywhere wants to bind your personal ID to everything you do online. Surely it&#39;s about the children. Not coming after anyone for having opinions that deviate from what the government wants. Perhaps you think trans women are women, or a certain country shouldn&#39;t starve its helots to death, or that the government should build affordable rental units. No, surely it&#39;s about keeping children off Facebook. Yep. https://www.c...

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@thetyee/116528257416921785 It&#39;s not that the Canadian government hates you, specifically, it&#39;s that it loves the money more than you. Please see also: Housing Crisis.

When the old search engines were dying, I remember one of the last things to happen with them is that they would no longer support modifiers. Like you know how you put a + or a - in front of a word to force its inclusion in the results? Or &quot;also&quot;? They would just stop recognizing that. And it was always a sign that the search engine was going to die very soon.

RE: https://social.marxist.network/@yogthos/116482699081987535 An enlisted person who enlists to have better opportunities or to &quot;get out&quot; of their situation is zero different from a Somali pirate or a kid who joins a street gang. If you join an immoral organization and do bad things because of the people at the top, you are just as responsible as the people at the top telling you to do bad things.

All of this age verification stuff is in service of doxxing you to your employer for not being sufficiently anti-trans or pro-Israel. That&#39;s what it&#39;s all building up to. That and being able to advertise to you a little bit more.

I find it fascinating that Democrats couldn&#39;t find it in their hearts to condemn this, and then wonder why they are less popular than Trump. America tanked the world economy *for this*. Do the stupid Yankee Doodle types not understand that both their parties would do this to them if they thought they could get away with it? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/12/how-israeli-offensive-destroyed-entire-villages-in-lebanon
