Oh no.

Driver who racks up between $300 and $400 a month in speeding and parking tickets feels like he’s "being bullied.” www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

A simply unfathomably sad long read and one that really hints at the profound damage that perhaps drives some toxic behaviour with global consequences. Free gift link here, but won't last forever. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

Ressa addresses the UN.

Scott Galloway (Prof G) does some good work regarding toxic masculinity. But he has just called the UN antisemitic for calling for a two state solution. He’s also calling the Gaza crisis “a war” instead of a brutal occupation.

This does not mention that the Supreme Court has *twice* ruled that lawful access is unconstitutional, which is pretty important to note when law enforcement whines that they can't access your data without a warrant, and turns this story into stenography.

Surprise!

Are they rapturing alphabetically? I’m in section M. Have they done M?

The money class are parodies of themselves. There is no problem they think won't magically be solved by tax cuts and deregulation. Psychologically, there's no difference between "tax cuts solve everything" fetishists and your weird aunt who's constantly talking about how fairies cured her gout.

It’s not a war.

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

Fun story: the mom in the family across the street when I was growing up is David Duke's sister. "Uncle David" would come visit and complimented my (then 8yo) sister on her angel Halloween costume. "What a beautiful white angel" he said, creeping her out to this day. Yeah, not really a *fun* story.

America is now the dystopia that we were always warned about.

Oh no. The worst people in the world are reacting bitterly.

"Form the dough. Knead until it’s as elastic as the truth."

These tell-all books always position the subjects as having no agency. They most certainly did. And now we have a fascist with nuclear codes.

For the rapture, will I be needing my passport?

Satire has never been more alive.

Debbie was pretty courageous for rapping. Eat those cars girl!

Radio version too short for you? Here’s an extended remix. youtu.be/a_8ATfvtdu4?...

TBH there were already too many late night talk shows anyway.

Mark Carney is full of contradictions. Including this clearly batshit crazy one. Zionist Palestine.

Canada, Australia, the U.K. and France have finally -- conditionally -- joined the many other nations who recognize the State of Palestine. But today, Prime Minister Mark Carney also once again called for a “Zionist Palestine.” Here's what's going on:

Industry: hey GDC, we need you to move out of San Francisco and the US at large because it's unsafe, deal with the still-too-common harassment issues, stop charging egregious for-profit fees, and for you to provide proper compensation for speakers GDC: we hear you but best we can do is rename it

No Debbie Harry wasn’t the first white rapper. Rapture was the first number one single to have rap verses though. She even name-drops Fab 5 Freddy and Grandmaster Flash.

"Hundreds of Jewish Health Professionals Say 'End the Genocide' in Gaza"

I am starting to think they are the same person.

Cueing this up for no apparent reason. youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?...

As the nation breathes a collective sigh of relief that we won't have to continue pretending to love Jimmy Kimmel

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Eby is an empty suit who proves over and over that he believes in nothing. bsky.app/profile/aman...

this moment of western powers recognizing palestine is precisely the moment we must not let them normalize the hypocritical status quo where they speciously nod to palestine and simultaneously criminalize advocacy against the genocide of palestine. we must see this as an opportunity to keep pressing

Not at all sorry for making fun of Charlie Kirkians. Truly weird people.

A new messianic cult is emerging. We have a new Jesus for racist idiots. What should we call it?

The CBC providing live coverage of Charlie Kirk’s funeral service for clicks and giggles.

Canada and the UK formally "recognizing" the state of Palestine with massive terms and conditions that gives them no self determination is going to be the strongest example of the dangers of centrist attempts at appeasing everyone while appeasing no one; leading to the far right taking over

BBC homepage: UK recognizing Palestine. CBC homepage: memorial for a Nazi.

UK, Canada and Australia: Never fear, Palestinians! We're here to save the day! Palestinians: You're going to stop the genocide? UK, Canada and Australia: HAHAHAHAHA! No! Oh god no. Haha! No, we are going to give a great big Thumbs Up to the idea of your eventual statehood!

Did the CBC actually have live coverage of Kirk’s funeral?

We are soooo fucked. Canadian media is no better equipped to deal with fascism and hate than their American counterparts.

People need to know this history before they even think about invoking “October 7th” again.

Carney, Stamer, and Albanese’s painfully late statement on Palestine just underlines what’s been obvious all along: Israel is a European settler-colonial project. Dressing it up in religious mythology doesn’t change that. youtu.be/uq7VUfTknvc?...

Million* dollar idea: a company called “Analog” that makes appliances that do not contain any digital devices. No touch screens, no microcontrollers, no network connection. Just pure old school knobs and dials. (*Beeeellions)

Which of these countries are properly calling it a genocide? Hmm. Let me see. None of them.
