Salon wrote some of the best satire we've ever seen. If these brilliant humorists couldn't keep the lights on, what does that mean for the rest of us?
Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication. It has been an extraordinary privilege. salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye…

The fastest-growing federal expense isn't health care, defence, or seniors' benefits. It's interest on the national debt, costing a family of four nearly $6,000 this year alone and chewing through every cent Ottawa collects in GST. Canadians cannot afford the cost of Mark Carney. Today's budget must cut the cost of government to save Canadians money: conservative.ca/cpc/save-you…

A black man raised by a single mother and born in 1970s Crown Heights, last night became the first elected black governor of Florida, a state whose slave-owning Civil War-era governor actually committed suicide when he realized the war was lost. Seen any celebration of that from the usual diversity milestone celebrators?

One of the ESPNs has got U Mass v Ball State. I only bring this up because there are as many people in this Wisconsin beer joint than in whatever place U Mass is in.

Voting later, after work. To prepare, during lunch, I crammed recaps of all 6 seasons of "House of Cards."
