I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.

Opinion: Cars are the biggest threat on the road, not kids on e-scooters
All the outrage we feel about teens weaving on e-bikes and scooters would be better spent figuring out how to keep massive motorized vehicles away from all other road users

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Really good speech from Carney at the World Economic Forum today. Genuinely gives the impression he understands the gravity of the moment, which is why I'm struggling to square it with his actual actions and policy re: the United States. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uStu...

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

"Masculine Energy"
Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

#BlackFridayParking
This image features a large, mostly empty parking lot with a few parked cars and sparse tree plantings. Overlaying text in a meme style reads:

- At the top, in bold white text with a black background: "Cities be like:"
- To the right, in turquoise text: "We wish our town was more pedestrian friendly"
- At the bottom left, in smaller turquoise text: "My brother in Christ"
- At the bottom right, in bold white text with a black background: "You set the parking minimums"
The image critiques urban planning policies, specifically mandatory parking minimums, which prioritize car infrastructure over pedestrian-friendly designs.

Opposite to this, in the top right panel, is a drawing of a distressed character with a tearful expression, shouting, "nooooo you will put microchips in our bodies and track us." The bottom left panel shows a cartoon of Elon Musk with a contemplative expression and a speech bubble stating, "I will literally put a microchip in your brain."
