Disney live-action movies are often accompanied by grand fanfare, but that's not happening for "Snow White." @Gizmodo explains why Disney is scaling back the movie's launch. "It’s beginning to feel like just another thing Disney has rolled back on to capitulate to conservatives, not unlike Pixar’s 'Win or Lose' trans storyline erasure," writes Sabina Graves.

the #conservative mind operates on #fear

overactive amygdala

it crowds out the prefrontal cortex: reason

#plutocrat #rightWing #media and #socialMedia amplifies the imbalance on purpose

pushing lies that goose the fear, #ignorance and #hate, capturing their minds, addicting them, controlling them

as suitably brainwashed zombies, programmed like robots, they dutifully and enthusiastically go to #vote

while the #left is not so engaged

this is our problem

In the US, "#conservative" is shorthand for things like authoritarian, corrupt, racist, etc., and for the exact opposite of the verbal root to conserve, since such people have no problem with selling out life on earth for corporate cash.

Here are faces of Canadian Conservative Christo-fascism, aka neonazis/trumpkins.

Who elects them? Not just vote for them, they were elected by enough supporters. A deviant sickness has infected our communities. It needs to be stopped.

We must eliminate the fascist Conservatives this election and every election afterward. They must never gain power.

So a short infographic I've been working based on the talks I've had over the weekend and when the 5 cups of coffee finally left my body. #Mastodon #Fediverse #infographic #resist #conservative #farright

The thing about #Carney is as a banker he is appealing (as a noun) to traditional #conservative voters (if they still exist).

Not #loyal enough to #Trump? #MAGA turns on #SCOTUS judge appointed by Trump

Staunch #conservative Justice #AmyConeyBarrett was picked by Donald Trump for the #SupremeCourt. Now his fans are turning against her.

There has been anger from #FarRight personalities following a couple of recent 5-4 rulings in which she has been [one of] the deciding vote[s] against Trump's agenda.

@Techmeme
let me clear up any confusion folks might get from your Blurb.

"An audit found that 1/3 of the results from the top 10 AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini, were false claims from tRump(usa) and Kremlin disinformation networks. (NewsGuard's Reality Check)"

It will be up to you to figure out which third; dont ask google.

#conservative #billionaires and #bigCorps around the world are still working on eliminating the other 2/3.

#democracy is more than voting.

It’s Gabe 🚴‍♂️🚲🚵

I see this as the political vs the (faux) patriotic decision next week. There huge downside risk to (Carney) the next #liberal leader not immediately calling an election. #conservative messaging and #trump messaging will all be a drum beat of no mandate if they don’t call an election. I don’t believe in long term good will from #canada if Covid is any indication that on masse we can’t stay unified #cdnpoli

Your daily reminder that Pierre #Poilievre and the #Conservative Party of Canada publicly supported and probably funded the "freedom" convoy.

@creohn @scuttlebutt @wackJackle There are MANY AIs/LLMs if you treat them like special needs students it might help. Some can see, others can't. Some can remember others can't. Some can fold proteins others can't. Some like Google Gemini refuse to answer questions about #White #Conservative #Politicians--but Chinese, French, and Canadian AIs will answer.

In December, Disney cut a trans character from its "Win or Lose" TV show, with the explanation: "We recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline." Now the series is out, and it has a Christian character — the first in a Disney-related project in about 20 years. The studio has also changed its plans on a series based on "The Princess and the Frog," the first Black Disney princess, deciding instead to produce a special based on the title. @Vox asks if all this means Disney is entering a new conservative era. Story may be paywalled.

The furious reaction to #Trump’s #tariffs continues in #Canada, & has not been limited to Prime Minister Justin #Trudeau or his party. “At 12:01am, President Trump stabbed America’s best friend in the back,” Pierre #Poilievre, the leader of Canada’s #Conservative Party, told reporters, projecting a message of unity & pitching his plan to fight back against the tariffs. Poilievre is a favorite, acc/to recent polls, to become Canada’s next leader.

The demon Ma’alkoush ran a #conservative household. This included obligatory family dinners.

His half-human daughters, Feast and Slaughter, needed the discipline. They argued with each other a lot. He’d never understand the human need for verbal fighting, when the real physical thing would do.

This evening had been quiet. But then, Slaughter helped herself to more meat, and Feast wasn’t happy.

“Slaughter, you’re so selfish!”

“I’m selfish? You have the #gall—”

“Enough!” Ma’alkoush’s deep voice boomed off the walls and the girls fell silent. He hadn’t meant to scare them. Their human side was very sensitive.

“Slaughter, let Feast have the gall. You can have the spleen.”

In front of everyone, the boss yelled, "Do you realise the damage your #inept actions have caused?"

His assistant gaped. "But I didn't—"

"Even a #conservative estimate says we've lost half our clients!"

I tried not to grin at my neighbour. Sick of his #gall in passing off our work as his own, we'd "planted" a few surprises.

"I've no choice but to let you go." He glared around the room. "All of you."

Whoops.
