  1. Mmm.
    Guaranteed police brutality.


    The notorious unit was recently rebranded and given a permanent policing role in the province, despite an ongoing federal probe into its conduct. Hundreds of formal complaints have been made about its excessive force, illegal tactics, and racism during crackdowns on blockades against gas pipelines and old-growth logging operations.

    Now, the newly-branded unit, renamed the Critical Response Unit–BC (CRU-BC), will be at the forefront of policing resistance to new fast-tracking legislation, Bills 14 and 15, according to internal government documents obtained by The Breach through an access-to-information request.

  2. In case you're keeping track:

    There've been 159 arrests at Palestinian protests in Toronto in the past ~2 years.

    As of now, there has been exactly 1 conviction.

    Good use of tax dollars, motherfuckers.

  3. Fondly thinking back to Halloween of last year, when the police liaison blondie clone came over specifically to tell me I was not allowed to set things on fire.

    Maybe this year.

    🤣

  4. In A Christmas Carol, Bob Cratchit earned 15 shillings a week, or 780 shillings a year.

    With 20 shillings to the pound, that's £39 a year.

    If you account for inflation over the last 180yrs, that's in the area of £32000 a year now.

    Avg hrs per week is between 37.5 for an office job.

    That works out to £16.41hr

    Current minimum wage for an adult in the UK is £11.44

    Bob Cratchit had a better paid job than most people do now and lived in abject poverty unable to support his family.

    Even with the announced rise in min wage next year. It's still going to be around 22% lower than Scrooge was paying his staff.

    This is a perfect example of capitalism and why it should not exist.

    Capitalism has only existed in this form for less than a few hundred years.

    We produce enough goods to safely and sustainably feed every single on the planet, to put a roof over everyone's head and to give them healthcare.

    The only reason that's not happening is because of greed... because laws and govts have been corrupted to support capitalist interests instead of for the good of their people.

    Burn it to the ground.

  6. I have an app from my health insurer (TK-Ident), which sole purpose (!) is to identify me as an individual towards the insurer.

    I also have their regular app, which is used for accessing most of their services and my own health information. To use it on my new phone they have to send me a letter via snail mail in order to uniquely identify me 🤡

    @benroyce

    Most just like the aesthetics of rebellion and violence... it's just another way of glorifying hatred and death for those you think are "bad" for society.

    Doctor Who had a really good episode on this: "Truth or Consequences". The problem is not with wanting "revolution" it's that people aren't thinking about the after revolution. At a certain point, unless you just want 24/7/365 war and death (which a good portion do want), you need to become the person arguing against revolution and finding a way to incorporate other views. And then you're right back where you started, needing to vote. The only difference is how many people you killed and made suffer.

    So, unless the goal is increasing that number, you vote.

  8. Like, I am well aware that Anonymous is Not My Personal Army(tm), but it’d be fantastic if some LulzSec type group would have a go at the genAI motherfuckers.

  9. I hate ORMs with the fire of a thousand suns.

    Any object-graph abstraction on top of an #SQL/relational DB is inherently going to be leaky and the more ORMs try to be clever, the more subtle the bugs they produce.

  10. You ever have one of those days where you think you should quit your job... and get divorced... and so you might as well renounce a few citizenships while you're at it?

  11. Popular opinion: YAML is the spawn on the devil. Horribly unreadable and the often deep nesting is impossible to keep track of. The sooner YAML is replaced with something sane, the better for all developers who have to suffer using it today. The same folks that cry over Python's indentation seem to cheer over YAML's extremely deep nesting.

  12. @artisanrox @CBells @flexghost

    Yep, because when the GOP House by unanimous vote elects an advocate of return to the medieval ages, the first thing I do is run to bash the majority leader of the Senate. #burnitalldown detected. We've got 14 months of this BS to get through, lets not indulge in blaming democrats for things republicans did, no matter how much you want to bash the establishment.

  13. To lightly paraphrase #CharlesBarkley: The #rich cash big #paychecks, the #wealthy write them.

    Considering the wealthy haven't suffered since the #GreatDepression, it's obvious the system was rigged to always protect them.

  14. Wir waren in einem wunderbaren Konzert, hatten danach hervorragendes Essen, Champagner, Wein, wir haben bewusst nicht um 18 Uhr aufs Handy geguckt -- und jetzt haben wir uns den Abend versaut. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with people? #fckafd #bayernwahl #icanteven #burnitalldown

  15. White people certainly have a lot of feelings about toppled statues. The last couple of weeks have seen article after article written about the subject (more on this later in the thread), culminating (one can only hope) in today's piece on Miguel's charges being dropped earlier this week.

    thespec.com/news/hamilton-regi

    Miguel is problematic for a variety of reasons, but selecting him out of the group of people present was very much a police grudge for his prominent presence at other actions. He was present at (but not involved in) the toppling of the Ryerson as well, plus a variety of other Indigenous-led actions that put him on police radar.

    I am glad to see these charges dismissed, and saddened that his partner Barb passed away and did not get to see him vindicated on this front.

    Here's to the other bullshit charges all going the same way.

    1/2
