Programmer, gamer, father, not necessarily in that order. Kicked off Twitter for calling Elon a glorified activist investor and that more school shootings are not ideal.

The official Republican position on COVID is that it was a mild case of the flu but also an engineered bioweapon and the vaccine that Trump miraculously pushed out in a under a year is worthless sugar water but actually killed millions and it’s really Fauci and Joe Biden’s fault.

I'm just curious: What would the average gun toting red-blooded freedom loving American think should happen to a person or organization that blows up an elementary school killing 150+ children, parents, and teachers?

I'm not a huge #AI pusher, but I do use it. But man, the attitudes of some of the anti-ai crowd almost makes me want to use it more. Impossible most of the time to have actual conversations about the effects and harms and whatnot without them sliding into constant personal attacks and blocking. Eg:

I find it kind of funny that people take the time to write up responses to people and then immediately block them, so they can't even see the response, and nobody sees what they even responded to. Talk about futile attempts. It's like muttering under your breath after losing an argument. So brave.

So apparently, it was this joke about going back in time to when video game rental stores and/or ma and pa video game stores still existed. Honestly, I didn't think it was that asshole-ish given the nature of the conversation, but I could be wrong.

If pierre poilievre can't handle the simplest task of answering reporter questions, how's he supposed to handle global affairs, world wars, trade wars and being the main target of all opposition in the country as he takes the helm? What will that look like for Canada and Canadians? #cdnpoli #canpoli

All this world destabilizing and Republicans just getting joy might want to remember that usa still has conscription... and there won't be any running to canada to dodge that draft. Their 401k may one day be the last of their problems if they keep going down this route. Hope I'm wrong, though.

I can't believe even that white house press bitch calls trudeau the governor. Whatever happened to professionalism in the highest office? Do we really need to start retaliating with name-calling, too? Mayor McCheese? Councilman Trump? Rapist? Oh wait, that one's actually accurate. USA sucks...

Every time Trump says Russia says they're ready for peace, he's showing how much of a rube he is. At any point Russia can just leave and then there's peace. That's it. Trump is such a dork, his supporters are stupid, and the party is ruined. So is his country.

I think it's pathetic and very telling that the USA wants to force Ukraine into a mineral deal to help pay for the aid they supplied so far rather than going after Russian assets to pay for it. Pathetic leadership and pathetic voter base. Not that we're better in Ontario considering what we just did

Ever had a convo with someone who hears "higher taxes" and immediately loses their mind? I had one last night. It made me realize how deeply conservatives have trained people to see taxes as the boogeyman instead of, y'know, corporate greed and neoliberal gutting of services. A short 🧵 #cdnpoli

Just had an argument, I guess, with someone who not only believes all voters, every single one, is just as bad as supporting genocide because they didn't stay home. How messed up is that? Or am I the one who's wrong in thinking it still makes sense to vote in a democracy while it still exists?

Spent a couple minutes with a burner account on Twitter today. Holy crap what a cesspool of total bile that place is. Just a bunch of blue checks sucking up to billionaires like some big circle jerk. I guess all the intelligent replies get buried because they're not spending money on that site. 🤢🤮🤮

Trump speaks like such a rapist when talking about other countries like Ukraine and Canada. I almost, almost feel bad for Melania thinking how often she's probably been raped by Donald. She's party to this whole thing too, though, so, fuck nazis and fuck her too.

The world is toast, I hate to say, at least for the foreseeable future. Even if, IF, this whole pendulum swing to the extreme nazi right doesn't destroy or enslave everyone, I can't imagine what the resulting overcorrection to the extreme left will do. Either extreme is bad, but here we are, for now

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔 It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

If Elon Musk were really serious about colonizing Mars, he would not be worth over $400 billion. He's just another activist investor who likes to yap, but does he actually even do anything to improve humanity? Seems he's caused more harm than good for humanity. What a dork.

You are up to date.
