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?"

mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Life is a preposterous horror.
Money speaks for money, the devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.
Une oasis d'horreur dans un désert d'ennui.

Wouldn't this, you know, burn any exposed skin right fast?
Quoting
"Amid sweltering conditions in Nashville, the temperature on the artificial turf at Nissan Stadium reached 157F (69.4C)."
Eagles offensive lineman Jordan Mailata said the temperatures were another reason for the players’ union to push for a ban on artificial turf."

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 .

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.
Anyone else remember when this kind of thing was rare, instead of something you just planned for every season?
What does Canada's American-owned news service have to say today? Jesus Christ.

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.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I did not expect to learn this while just looking up toadstone
The toadstone, also known as bufonite (from Latin bufo, "toad") and crapaud-stone, is a fossil gem that was once believed to be found in the heads of toads, and ascribed magical powers. It was supposed to be an antidote to poison and in this it is like batrachite, supposedly formed in the heads of frogs.
#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.
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

@dyckron@cosocial.ca Come on Gen Z, every dollar you give your landlord is a dollar you don't use to retire. Hope you like dying on the streets.
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.

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.

@timberwraith@mastodon.social I mean, also they don't want people to have health care either in addition to liking the foreign ethnic cleansing.
Probably because if you are willing to take donations to kill foreigners you'd presumably take donations to kill your own?

@madengineering@hachyderm.io I am a little bit worried about this myself. My television I think is on the point of dying, and even though I never use it as a smart television, it's just hooked up to my computer as a glorified giant monitor, I don't want to have to deal with any of the nonsense.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social So he's saying that if Iran ever feels like it has nothing to lose, it could easily gain the moral high ground for the rest of history? Leave it to Trump to somehow give dignity to a repressive Islamic terror state.

@bartholin@fops.cloud I'd watch something "new" Lord of the Ringsish, from the perspective of let's say like one of the Corsairs or maybe a goblin or something. That could be exciting.
In the same way I'd watch a Star Trek season set on a Romulan Warbird with actual Romulans doing Romulan things.
We should probably bring back writs of outlawry for the shareholders.

@bartholin@fops.cloud God, the disappointment of that one.
None of the city factions worked like they said they would work.
The city was basically dead.
The AI so broken it couldn't do anything.
So much squandered potential.
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.

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?

@drakakis@thecanadian.social Danielle Smith is kind of inspirational in the Nixon/Kissinger/Cheney school of not really have any beliefs or thoughts of her own other than she likes to be in power and will do whatever cynical thing she feels like will keep her there.
To reign is worth ambition.
She should be kept far away from anything like power but that's not how cows think when she's spewing what they want to hear.

It would be a cartoon of Danielle Smith and Carney kicking back, smoking cigars and laughing. There'd be a price tag on Carney's thousand dollar shoes. They'd be holding money, feet up on a new oil pipeline.
Just listing the names of the ten thousand dead in Europe from their heat waves scrolling at the bottom. Maybe a little PP in a white cowboy suit in the back saying, "No fair I wanted to kill those people for the money."
