A lot of the news coverage would have you believe that Elon Musk is going to be paid $1 trillion by Tesla. (That's really not true.)

Brits using "stone" as a unit of weight is the dumbest shit.

It's a small graphic design detail, but the loitering guy on TTC signage is actually in front of the red slash, casually leaning against it, making him look *unbelievably* cool.

“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.” Closing arguments from the defense in the DC sandwich guy case are now underway.

lmao

Subway has the opportunity to do a legendary marketing campaign here.

It's legal to throw sandwiches at cops in the USA.

And this is what they call “the ole Chappaquiddick Farewell” in the Kennedy family, dude couldn’t help it, it’s in his blood.

It seems kinda bad that every American politician is basically a professional shitposter.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Is anybody else pumped for the 2025 Ontario Fall Economic Statement?

My main thought about this anti-feminism, tradwife, woke-gone-too-far trend is that it's presented as bold, new thinking And it is instead the same boring, lazy, heterodox-if-you're-in-1930, men-are-hunters pop psychology nonsense I've heard from old men shaking their fists in the pub after 5 pints

Meanwhile, in Canada: "The Supreme Court of Canada will this morning decide whether to hear an appeal of an order to cull a flock of more than 300 ostriches at a farm in the B.C. Interior." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The radar is showing a line of flurries over north and west Toronto today.

OpenAI is asking the U.S. government for loan guarantees to fund its staggering $1 .4 trillion+ AI infrastructure build-out. Basically if OpenAI can’t come up with the money after taking out loans then taxpayers will bail them out. They finally played the “Too Big To Fail” card.

I feel like Youppi would flail with performative aggression and then Bonhomme would put a choke hold on him and gently put him to sleep.

Today I learned that the Philly Phanatic has a mother named Phoebe Phanatic.

Who wins in a fight between Youppi! and Bonhomme du Neige?

Germans really popped off with the word "pumpernickel."

Wow if Zohran can do that, maybe I, a fellow Millennial, can also run for office (immediately has emotional breakdown attempting to organize a potluck)

Zohran says you’re trans now

Labelling things around the house can be helpful for people suffering from dementia.

A lot of you online are the orange cat.

If a guy with 140,000 followers and a newsletter and a podcast, who tells you how to think about things, is not a pundit, then I don't know what that word means.

My hot take about Mamdani is that charismatic people blow up online all the time, and given the state of American politics, there's lots of reasons why his campaign became a locus of attention for people wanting to think about something other than the fascism.

It needs to be said: There actually aren't very many people with good progressive politics, natural charisma, seemingly unlimited energy and the ability to put in 20 hour days in front of the camera without ever accidentally saying the wrong thing out of confusion, or exhaustion, or frustration.

I think it's possible that I've spent more time than any man alive thinking about the breakfast scene in the motel where Frank and Russell talk about killing Jimmy Hoffa in the movie The Irishman. Literally. I think I've spent more time thinking about it than the filmmakers themselves.

IF YOU'RE IN LINE AT THE LIQUOR STORE, STAY IN LINE

RIP to the Superclusters. We hardly knew ye.

Legitimately curious to what extent Canadians care about the deficit.

Gotta be real honest with you: I am looking forward to hearing a lot less about New York municipal politics after today.

A friend showed me this screenshot and I started cackling, I was staining my tongue three different colors with OtterPops in 1998 are you fucking kidding me
