I hope Doug Ford gets splatted by a speeding driver.

Taking this to court was such a dumb idea. How many more lies will they have to backpedal as soon as any kind of evidence is requested?

Ha! Good one 🤣

Maduro’s leadership is a helluva lot more legitimate than the orange pedophile.

The only country who might be emboldened by this is the fucking US itself, to start yet another conflict, just like they always do.

Oh no the country that hasn’t even been involved in a conflict in 50 years might invade!1! Never mind the country that’s been invading, bombing, couping, and backing terrorists and war criminals non-stop for like, most of its existence.

Actually existing socialism will never be good enough because building a new economic system while the Empire tries to stamp it out is hard and inevitably it won’t be perfect, and if there are problems then it wasn’t worth trying and we should just go back under the boot of capitalism and be grateful it’s such a great boot that stomps on us.

I got a shirt for you.

When the picture is tiny, it looks like Karl is wearing sunglasses. I kind of want to give him some cool shades now.

those in power cannot be imprisoned.

This just sounds like business as usual.

I can see a continued/exacerbated erosion of faith in various institutions, and a corresponding use of state violence to maintain the status quo, but without a serious (well organized, with mass support) alternative, the current ruling class will stay in power and nothing will change dramatically. We’ll just continue along the downward spiral, same as before.

So when the US “neutralized a Venezuelan tanker”, that wasn’t an escalation, but now when Maduro takes measures to prevent this happening again, now it’s a “significant escalation”??

Despite the fact that Russia has been 0% red for the past 35 years or so.

Software as a disservice.

Your computer won’t even be a computer, just a display with an Internet connection to a data centre.

Boggles the mind that people still call this a democracy.

We should really know better by now…

So I checked the totals from Elections Ontario, and the PCP got 2,159,060 votes, or 43%, which obviously shouldn’t allow the party to do whatever they want with no accountability, but the population of Ontario (2025 estimate) is 16,258,260.

So only 13% of the province actually voted for this doofus!

I’m not buying it, it’s just marketing. We know what these models are, and they’re not sentient, they’re just fancy auto-complete machines.

Anthropic set up the situation to get the results they wanted, to make their bot sound super smart. The whole thing is extremely hypothetical.

Note how much they talk about Claude; I ctrl+F’d, Claude is mentioned 55 times, GPT 4 times, and Gemini just 2.

Yea, probably… That, or they’ll blockade the St Lawrence and starve them out.

Wow, and I thought the nobel one was worthless.

Perhaps the island of Montreal could hold out as a revolutionary enclave against the facist theocracy.
