One thing everyone can do to hurt the first trillionaire is to stop using the website he uses to foment violence and feel like an intellectual big shot. If you're not even willing to stop using a website that sucks to stick it to a Nazi, you're not…

Deciding to only mention extremists on one side is disgusting. Israel has killed tens of thousands of children. Isn't that fucking extreme? This isn't even bothsidesism, because Palestinian violence is still being singled out as worse, despite Israel's…

Group chats? Disgusting. I believe a chat is between one man and one woman. The man, who does not know the woman, says "hello beautiful" The woman says nothing. The man's account is deleted a week later. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Newspapers really were a miraculous thing. People would wake up in the morning and find a short book on their doorstep that told them what was happening in the world. We have a rectangle that does something similar, but it's cursed. Newspapers weren't…

I don't know the specifics, but it feels like the City of Vancouver has been firing a lot of seasoned officials lately. Getting rid of the kind of non-partisan public servants who tend to tell politicians the truth instead of what they want to hear. …

Do not create a privacy nightmare for everyone by blocking social media by age. Make kids use shitty phones. I don't know why everyone is making this so complicated. Kids have to drink soft drinks until they're 18, they should have to use soft phones…

Except the creators whose work is stolen and the people who lose their jobs to AI and the people who have to live near data centers and the people whose energy and water bills go up because of data centers and the people who suffer because the AI injected…

Imagine walking in solidarity with a country that's slaughtered tens of thousands of children. Children. These children died in terror and flames and violence. Israel gleefully, willingly, repeatedly tore their tiny bodies apart. Every single marcher is…

FFS. He's 61 years old and has been in positions of power pretty much his entire adult life. If he's a bully, it's not because his skills are "a work in progress," it's because he chooses to be a bully. Which doesn't surprise me, because most of his…

If protestors get the same amount of prison time for non-destructive protests like blocking a bridge as they'd get for more destructive protests, like arson, then this prosecutor is basically encouraging protestors to attempt more destructive protests and…

This piece comes to the conclusion that it's ethically permissible to use AI to write a eulogy if you're too sad to write it yourself. Because there aren't a million poems and speeches about grief you could quote, no, your only option is to make slop, read…

I think MPs who leave their parties should sit as independents. If they want to join another party, a party they did not campaign under, they should have to resign AND pay for the byelection. Politicians should be held to their basic promises, and if they…

I bet a few things have converged here. One, crypto is no longer edgy and sexy if the POTUS (who's also really gross) is into it. Two, gamblers now have an embarrassment of choices and don't have to limit gambling to crypto. Three, the bros who were…

If you haven't watched INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE because you've read the book, seen the movie, you already know the story—that's exactly the point of the show. It's about how stories are retold, about memory and the process of adaptation and how stories…
