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?

The Democratic party of the United States tried overthrowing the constitutional order after losing the presidential election of 1860.
It was an event commonly known as “The American Civil War”.
I hope this helps, retard.

An Ode to the Good People of Milwaukee 🍻
The only thing better than the baseball team is their fans.
I was in St Petersburg for Game's 4, 5 and 6. All the reports you heard about Brewers fans taking over were true. But I don't think you heard enough about how great they were.
I've been going to games for 30+ years. I don't think I've ever encountered a better fanbase. Live sports can be hit or miss. You always run into those asshole fans who can ruin the experience and are looking for trouble. Brewers fans don't care who you're rooting for - they're just looking for a good time.
My seats were behind the Brewers dugout. I was deep in enemy territory. The people in front of me, behind me and next to me were all as nice as could be. Told you things about their team, asked you about your team, commented on the game. It was as if they took pride in treating people with respect.
If you're going to lose to anyone in the World Series, at least it's to people who win with class. Cheers.

France'll be happy w/360p video.
BREAKING: France just voted to tax the internet.
French lawmakers approved a tax of €0.055 (5.5 cents) for every gigabyte of data that companies like Netflix and YouTube send to French users. It’s a tax on the companies, not users directly, but the cost could get passed on to subscribers.
The vote was 11 to 10, with only 35 of 577 lawmakers present. Supporters say it could raise up to €10 billion a year. The French government opposed it, warning it would hit smaller French companies hardest; VLC says it would cost it over €1 million a year.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This amendment to France's 2027 budget bill was narrowly adopted 11-10 in the National Assembly (35 voters present) but is not yet law, faces government opposition, and must still clear further Assembly/Senate steps.
