An anti-amputation mandate for table saw safety was recently withdrawn by the defanged Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Hey, it’s me, the closest trail to the metropolis, and I’m begging you to take your midlife crisis elsewhere.
Every week, a fresh crop of you forty-something corporate marauders comes on pilgrimage like I’m your personal Annapurna.
I’m a two-mile gravel slope with a play area, Carl.
You haul up to my “trailhead” (a.k.a. the Jiffy Lube parking lot) wearing six hundred dollars’ worth of tactical nylon, looking like you’re about to audition for Outward Bound: The Musical.
The sippy straw of your inevitable hydration bladder quivers next to your budding jowl.
What is it, can’t risk twisting off a bottle cap at this altitude?
There are ZARAs taller than me.
And put those hiking poles away. It’s a 5 percent incline. You could have done this in Crocs.
You inhale richly and muse aloud that you love being off-grid, as the lights of a 7-Eleven glitter in the near distance.
You’re about as off-grid as the Times Square T-Mobile.
Did you know Uber Eats delivers here?
Consumers may actually be paying more through rewards programs, thanks to surveillance pricing.
We’re about 3 weeks into our annual fundraiser. Our goal is $12,500 (same as last year). So far we’ve raised $8,180 from 72 people out of a readership of about 10,000. If you read this blog, you’re usually ahead of everyone else. You know, years in advance, much of what’s going to happen. The intelligence […]
Doctor Who star Millie Gibson on the "horrific" experience of not being able to defend herself from rumors, even when she knew the truth.
. Första gången jag hörde Ted Gärdestad var jag fjorton år gammal. Han var en av min ungdoms stora idoler. Det är han fortfarande.
You’ve Always Been This Way is a column written by Taylor Harris, a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman and 1980s preschool dropout, who identifies every moment from her past that filled her with shame, and mutters, “Yep, that tracks. I see it all now.”

A quick note from Taylor Harris: This installment detours from my typical style of sharing actual events from my life and trying to make sense of them. What you’ll find here is satire. I’ve had the chance to respond publicly to RFK Jr’s comments on autism, but I wanted to come at white Christian nationalism, pseudoscience, and ableism from a different angle here.

Putin's attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure are accelerating as winter approaches, reports George Llewelyn from Kyiv
Communities living near mines often bear the brunt of pollution, environmental degradation, and the economic instability brought by boom-and-bust cycles, while end-users and proprietors enjoy the economic and environmental gains.
“Moving to the center would enable Democrats to confront [Trump] more aggressively and effectively because voters would see them as credible.” — From “The Partisans Are Wrong: Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win” by The New York Times Editorial Board

American politics today can seem to be dominated by extremes. President Trump is carrying out far-right policies rooted in white supremacy and open brutality, while some of the country’s highest-profile Democrats identify as democratic socialists—two exactly equal sides of the same coin. To those of you who are not writing this editorial, moderation probably feels a little outdated.

A mass movement against the Trump administration is essential, but no one should take an Iraq War booster’s advice.
The post David Brooks Is the Last Person We Should Be Listening to Right Now appeared first on The Intercept.
Jonathan Morrison, the new head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reportedly worked for Apple’s top-secret self-driving car project — but won’t say for sure.
Democracy should mean the rule of the people. But in modern Britain, democratic will is often subverted by the rule of money. Financial oligarchy and political democracy are incompatible. This is the deep contradiction at the heart of capitalist ‘democracy’. On the one hand, the intrinsic equality of universal suffrage guarantees every citizen the same […]
This Labour government would have banned the Labour movement – alongside all the other protests that secured our freedoms. Imagine a movement arising in this country that seeks to overthrow established power. Imagine that it begins with a series of rebellions, in Scotland and south Wales perhaps, that shut down workplaces, confront police and soldiers […]
This Tuesday report will provide some insights into life for a westerner (me) who is working for an extended period at Kyoto University in Japan but who over the years of working here has increasingly began to understand the language and local cultural traditions. Tokyo Event – November 6, 2025 I will be speaking at…

A former White House official is joining Project 2025 and Abundance-allied groups to weaken oversight of artificial intelligence.
Sure, it was a huge bummer that they cut funding for fixing the streets in our town. We enjoyed going places. But, overall, it’s worth it for the tax cuts we expect any day now. I mean, at least we owned the libs. Libs love streets. Did you see that video of Trump dumping shit on libs marching in the streets? Got ’em!

Ah, dang. Groceries have never been more expensive. We really thought this was something Trump might be able to help us with. But the high cost of food is worth it so a transgender teen in Idaho can’t use the school locker room. Libs aren’t cheap to own, but the price is more than fair.

Wait, when they said they were going to dismantle the Department of Education, they were talking about, like, America’s Department of Education? The one that funds our schools? Shoot. Our kids will have to learn how to read from the back of cereal boxes. But at least the cereal doesn’t have Red Dye No. 2 in it. And as we all know, the libs are OBSESSED with Red Dye No. 2. Owned!
