Good! Young people, the right wing is never on your side, even when they make the right noises. They are conservatives. They are on the side of old money and entrenched power.

1912 - it’s there in black & white! But 110 YEARS LATER governments subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $7 TRILLION! Billions of people will die not because climate collapse is unavoidable, but because elites decided our lives are less important than fossil fuel profits.
Shame on Google for allowing their platforms to be overrun by deepfake scammers. They have the tech to stop it. They choose not to use it because it would cut into ad revenue. @developers.google.com
A lot of people on the right are manipulating concerns about misogyny and sexism to push extreme violence against the trans community. This does not mean misogyny and sexism are not very real problems. This is a post about antisemitism.
Good luck, Alberta! You can definitely do it! (Also, make companies take care of the orphan oil wells. It's fucking nuts that they take the money and run.)
I was gonna say it sounds more like a terrorist hotspot than the Riviera, but then I searched and, well, I guess it would be more like the Riviera than I thought.
I think it will be a pretty international holiday, to be honest.
Floridians should consider painting this outside of DeSantis's house. Or on his house.
What an image!
Oh, wait, this timing really makes sense. Canada, France, Australia, the UK, were all saying they'd recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September.

Accepting it is hard. Kind of think that if it weren’t, there might be less need for doom! Ah the irony!
Might I suggest Canada? We’re close enough to still have access to US officials if that is the calculation behind remaining in the US…
It clearly isn't that easy, or Ontario would have a visible opposition party... sigh. (PP still sucks, I'm just disappointed in Ontario.)
Luigi is responsible for violence that they care about: violence against the rich. Attack democrats? Attack the CDC? That'll be crickets.
But Trump was the candidate of peace (to a lot of Gen Z men). I swear, he is deciding where to start his first war. And if he dies, I suppose Vance will take over where he finished.
The people getting laid off are Canadians...
Ah, I should probably have put a /s. Poe's Law strikes again!
I believe you missed the sarcasm! Just as they've legislated away any mention of climate change, and claimed Covid deaths were all about underlying conditions, they will not allow "Covid" to be diagnosed.
Hmmmmmmm. How can there be a Covid surge if Covid isn't a valid diagnosis? Might be an increase in the flu, I suppose.
I shall miss Crown Royal.
"Climate models show the tipping point that makes an Amoc shutdown inevitable is likely to be passed within a few decades, but that the collapse itself may not happen until 50 to 100 years later." What we do now will affect this planet beyond our lifetimes.
Genocide + ecocide, hand in hand. As perpetrated by Israel now, and its main sponsor, the US, before. Kill off the ecosystems to kill off the people who depend on them. Image: @jvp.bsky.social
Every generation accepts the world they inherit as “normal.” That’s shifting baseline syndrome. We forget how much has been lost—just like we accept our own aging bodies as the new normal compared to a few years ago. 1/7
They could probably do a game show: American policy or Albertan policy?
This is to all fire fighters generally, but especially to any who are fighting wildfires.
Just learned about this! Apparently I was cited in this excellent video essay by @lindsayellis.bsky.social. Many thanks; I am grateful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpa...
Meanwhile, in the real world… this is what “active hope” won’t fix. 4/5
It's interesting (interesting) in Canada that Doug Ford has positioned himself as the anti-Trump crusader (soft CNN interviews) yet his behaviour at home his Trumpy. Railing against courts, interfering in local politics & democracy. At some point it has to (it has to) all come home to roost.
Y'know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.
Stop "protecting" the children by making the internet less safe overall. Start giving kids tools to understand what they're seeing. My childhood had no internet porn, but by the time I was 8, everyone knew there were dirty magazines being sold in the local convenience store.
I'm so sorry for this guy's family. What a horrible thing to do to people.
Just realized I was still subscribed to some old fanfiction .net Harry Potter community. How embarrassing. Unnnnsubbed!
Hate has no place in Canada. Saturday, September 13 Christie Pits 1-4 pm
Nature?! Nature is publishing this crap?
I dunno. I think the extreme proliferation of AI and weaponized propaganda campaigns has changed the internet too much for this to be true.
Socom was great offline. I miss that series. CoD never did it for me like Socom did.
A good message.
I dislike Bill Maher, and I think the coup is not that slow. But considering how few media personalities are willing to say the word coup, I guess I'll give him some credit. Genocide. Coup. Two very difficult words for anyone in Western media, it seems...
This is how military rule is established— one city at a time, until they are all under occupation. I hope our own military is preparing plans for what they will do when the US regime decides to occupy a Canadian city to stop fentanyl or liberate oil barons.
Shit, that guy is still talking?
I am going to say this again is clearly as I can. For well over a decade both in public and in private, the Republicans have said that their goal is to take over blue cities and states as they see them as enemy territory to be conquered by force. The Republicans are waging war against the country.
I kinda think you've already hit the iceberg. Still worth it to try to get the lifeboats up and running though.
Awesome Canadian lesson. #BuyanythingbutAmerican #BABA #CanadaStrong🇨🇦
Orlando wasn’t having what DeSantis did. They recolored the Pulse Memorial crosswalk.
America is such a horrible place these days. You're not even allowed to mourn your dead.
I'm surprised it's still congested. We aren't going there as much, and we're buying less if it can be sourced elsewhere...
"Yes, Lori, with a 'B'"
I want to troll Shark Tank or Lion's Den or some other "pitch investors" show by basically pitching an LLM or diffusion model. "Yeah, so our economy of scale kicks in around 1.5-1.7 billion paying users."
So, she's not allowed to leave the building, has her bathroom privileges monitored, and isn't allowed to talk to the public. wtf.
To be honest, it sounds like all her doomer definitions are white men? I wonder if her idea of a doomer is really just various flavours of "man who refuses to embrace his role as the White Saviour."
Oh, what a cutey.
It's not surprising, but I do think others could have had more votes if it weren't for the longest ballot initiative making everything a write in.
Massive protests have broken out in Israel calling for Neyanyahu to step down, a deal to return the hostages, and to end the Gaza genocide. 300,000 protested in Tel Aviv, 2.5 million gathered around the country. #3E #FreePalestine
I think they're confusing doomer with that old school style of prepper though, the one that insisted gov't is coming for them while ignoring business— until fascism fully arrived and they decided to join ICE.
Hey, I'm willing to agree that some of those exist. I once interacted with someone on r/collapse who said Trump was the only way to prevent WW3.
Also important for people in Canada.
Haha. He should have used the football metric rather than eagles.
With bone spurs!
You're a chaote? omg that's awesome!
I mean, history says the US does indeed use federal agents to intimidate citizens out of participating in democracy. (Lots of countries do, it's not exclusive to the US, mind you. You're just not uniquely special.)
We need to stop *saying* it, IMO. Yeah, none of them is going to be great. Push for better, but any steps away from fascism are good...
This is done to every non-right wing politician.
Careful what you wish for. They’ll always find a way to justify more censorship, and it might be decades before we’re allowed to talk again.
Also, getting soup for my family vibes.
There is a long and storied history of throwing rotten tomatoes at authorities. And shoes, too, but Payless is dead, while the tomatoes are probably rotting in the fields due to an ICE raid so.
A depressingly necessary piece filled with genuinely sage advice that everyone should read. Really good work here that meets the moment & hopes you will too. Resistance is NOT futile. Canadians can’t do much as outsiders, but pls know we are rooting for you & the remnants of your tattered democracy.
Well written. The grief is immense. It can be overwhelming at times. "Because it is so clear it takes a long time to realize it. If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago."
This is about as close to a statement of explicit genocidal intent as one ever sees. It is an explicit statement of intent to destroy a national body as a nation.
Reddit sucks. I'm not at all surprised that a post about Ice got you a warning. Join a Lemmy! lemmy.ca/c/reddit@lem...
Please enjoy my cartoon in today's Toronto Star
A brand made only for the Canadian market... that is not made in Canada. Sorry, I guess I just don't care that much if Bick's has trouble. Let's get a Canadian pickle producer up and running. Also, homemade pickles are frankly awesome.
Clever move 😂
Trek people keep saying the Bell Riots are coming, but the truth is, they'll never build a Sanctuary District in America. They'll probably deport the homeless to Gaza or something.
Someone I know suggested we might be Austria instead.
Bonnie Critchley doesn’t miss a thing! Not only does she know a lot about her neighbours, she also knows a lot about how Poilievre operates. This is her statement about Poilievre who sounds desperate & up to his old tricks again! #cdnpoli
Wonder how Luigi is Doing.......
The NY Times published this 24 hours after Israel slaughtered 5 Al Jazeera journalists. This is SO ugly. The Times is 100% done. People will have to erase it from their resumes in the not too distant future.
Climate Change is real, climate change means increased climate events, more heat waves, stronger storms, hurricanes, tornados, floods. #Canada #ClimateChange Sweltering temperatures shatters more than 60 heat records across the country on Monday www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
And yet, ecofascist is allowed..... surprised about that first one though.
Ah, there we are. Enjoyed this article on Apple News. I for one think that most people would be better off dying assisted, so do not think 7% of deaths being MAID is a bad thing at all.
This headline! lol! I really hope that I can choose to die with dignity myself when the time comes. I only read the bit until the paywall hit, so I won't vouch for the whole article, but the Atlantic is usually pretty insightful.
Congrats to Americans for marginally increasing the net worth of Trump aligned billionaires!
(gentle hugs) We call ourselves Doomers because we see what is happening and we can predict, based on that, what will happen next. But many of us, in our hearts, hope we are wrong. And it is challenging to accept we're not.
What a haul! What a haul!
US funded anti-government far right propaganda networks & botnets have increased activity targeting Mexico, flooding social media with disinformation that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and her government are operating alongside the cartels. This is a US destabilization op.
Guns don't kill people. People who intentionally arm domestic abusers kill people.
Some days I feel this too. It's difficult living in collapse. But then I think about all the people who will die and I guess I want it to last a bit longer.
Lots of substantive criticism. And it wasn't just her looks, it was about her pretty face (as described by Mackey) running away from her body because even it couldn't stand her.
Right wingers have no shame. They are sitting there trying to increase climate change and they complain about the smoke as people's lives go up in flames.
🧵 Dear Republican lawmakers, Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet. An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1
Canadians only, please. (Well, residents of Canada too.) www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Too bad it's on a door. It's almost a wallflower.
I'm just imagining one of those terrible home makeover shows from the 90s...
