In today’s @TheAtlantic.com the boots are correctly put to the malevolent marketing professor Gad Saad’s ridiculous notion of ‘Suicidal Empathy’. His book is really just an owner’s manual for sociopaths. 🤷🙄🤷 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If I’m reading this correctly, Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford’s campaign is asking volunteers to give them full access to their contact lists on their *personal* cell phones? www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/28/i...
'You don't need to freak out about this'
Introducing Bradford's supporters to the app on the Zoom call, Punia instructed them to give the app permission to access all of their contacts.

"Do not give it partial contact ability, give it full. And what I want to say to you guys here is, you don't need to freak out about this," said Punia. He reassured them that only contacts they marked as known or potential Bradford supporters would be given to the campaign.

One attendee hesitated as she had over 2,400 contacts on her phone. She was instructed to give the app access to all of them and mark them one by one according to their level of support for Bradford.

There's something amazing about being in a peloton of 40+ bikes on the cycle lane heading home. Every driver at the front of a queue of side-street traffic... every person peering out of a bus window... every passer-by gets the message: "Oh wow, yeah, people are using this stuff". Never gets old.
My view travelling home by bike: Loads of people cycling on the South City Way cycle lane on Victoria Road in Govanhill in the Southside of Glasgow, during evening rush hour. A woman in front of me wears an incredibly fetching gold coloured helmet.

Natch, Tracey Wilson of the “Canadian” Coalition for “Firearm Rights” and doyenne of the 🍁gun cult spreads myths about Track II MAID. Facts: you can’t get MAID under the law “because you can’t pay your rent”, nor can you have it “forced on you.” Both would be murder, so call the cops if you see it.
