I've said time and again that his name sounds like a third-tier net pseudonym invented by someone who is very committed to inserting the numbers 14 and 88 into casual conversation.

I am so relieved other people have the exact same instinct to recoil every single time they hear Keir Starmer’s name because it invokes a severe and dramatic sounding Nazi vibe.

Rick Caruso’s Private Fire Crew @amandasmith.bsky.social · Sep 2

Every time I read the name Keir Starmer my brain autofills it as the name of an obscure German far right party and he’s really starting to live up to his name

Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social · Sep 1

Asked by the BBC how he would feel if "your daughter was having to walk past one of these [asylum] hotels every day?" Keir Starmer replies that "I completely get it".

"I understand why people want the hotels closed. I want them closed".

Okay I got slightly sassy during the Canada AI Development survey. First Nations deserve drinking water, y'all.

You can get sassy too, here! ised-isde.canada.ca/site/ised/en...

Open to Canadians and non-Canadians as well if they have vested interests!

<3

Screenshot of a survey:
Question: "What can Canada do to ensure equitable access to AI literacy across regions, demographics and socioeconomic groups?
(i.e. collaboration with other levels of government; role of industry and private sector; educational and literacy strategies to foster informed confidence)"

Answer: "Probably nothing, we can't even ensure equitable access to drinking water across those groups. So, maybe start with drinking water? Perhaps?"

DHS default is to lie about every encounter. Which is why they’re trying to criminalize recording them.

CHICAGO (WGN) - A WGN creative services department employee was detained by two
Border Patrol officers and later released after federal agents swarmed a busy intersection on Chicago's North Side Friday morning, at the height of rush hour.
WGN is not naming the employee, as station policy requires blurring faces and not identifying those who have not been charged with a crime.
Witnesses on site who captured the incident on video spoke to WGN about the moments leading up to the staffer's detainment.

Thomas added that when he made his way down to the scene, around 8:30 Friday morning, he realized there was another person already detained inside the minivan being used by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
"I didn't get his name, although I asked for his name," Thomas said. "He didn't speak very good English. They claimed that the WGN employee was obstructing justice, even though she was, like all of us, just standing there, taking video.'

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.
