DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Media is reporting that the Alberta separatist side of referendum fund-raising, and thus spending, is greatly outpacing the “stay in Canada” side. In the “on-line-chatter” too. That’s not surprising when you remember that separatism is being pushed by Russian and American disinformation purveyors.

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Both are city vehicles, but... Only one demands minimal space, doesn't threaten lives, and causes zero wear on our roads. Yet the cargo bike has to beg for every single scrap of safe infrastructure, while the massive SUV is just handed the entire city by default.

The NS government has made changes to its income assistance regulations to exclude residents living in tents from getting access to the same level of financial support housed residents get. “It’s a very cruel policy decision by the province, and I think Nova Scotians will judge them accordingly.”

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

I was on a Torrance Transit bus where the driver was getting trained and when the trainer saw a bike rider on the road ahead, she said "You have to give the biker four feet no matter what. If you don't think you have four feet, you need to wait to pass until you do." Wanted to hug that lady so bad.
