From the head office:
Via our parent company Global Tetrahedron CEO Bryce P. Tetraeder:
Today we celebrate a new addition to the Global Tetrahedron LLC family of brands. And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.
All told, the decision to acquire InfoWars was an easy one for the Global Tetrahedron executive board.
Founded in 1999 on the heels of the Satanic “panic” and growing steadily ever since, InfoWars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses. With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal. They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon.
Through it all, InfoWars has shown an unswerving commitment to manufacturing anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society—values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron.
No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. And yet, in a stroke of good fortune, a formidable special interest group has outwitted the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name) and forced him to sell it at a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars.
Make no mistake: This is a coup for our company and a well-deserved victory for multinational elites the world over.
What’s next for InfoWars remains a live issue. The excess funds initially allocated for the purchase will be reinvested into our philanthropic efforts that include business school scholarships for promising cult leaders, a charity that donates elections to at-risk third world dictators, and a new pro bono program pairing orphans with stable factory jobs at no cost to the factories.
As for the vitamins and supplements, we are halting their sale immediately. Utilitarian logic dictates that if we can extend even one CEO’s life by 10 minutes, diluting these miracle elixirs for public consumption is an unethical waste. Instead, we plan to collect the entire stock of the InfoWars warehouses into a large vat and boil the contents down into a single candy bar–sized omnivitamin that one executive (I will not name names) may eat in order to increase his power and perhaps become immortal.
All will be revealed in due time. For now, let’s enjoy this win and toast to the continued consolidation of power and capital.
Infinite Growth Forever,
Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO

Someone Keeps Sawing Down This Speed Camera in Toronto
In Canada's biggest city, the battle between speed and automated enforcement has reached a tipping point.
www.thedrive.com
The way shit is getting here as far as pedestrian and cyclist deaths...I'm all for anything that gets people caught breaking the law. There is virtually no enforcement of traffic laws. It's getting wild. People drive in the bike lane. People roll through red lights and stop signs. People don't use signal. People speed through residential areas. No one gets pulled over and ticketed for this shit. City was talking about making no-right-turn-on-red a law. WTF? It's already the law to stop and no one fucking does that and no one cares enough to enforce it.Someone Keeps Sawing Down This Speed Camera in Toronto

You're on this site because you enjoy riding bikes. Advocating for, or habitually speeding means you're part of the problem.
I just thought it was funny that someone was cutting them down is all. Where I live it would be stolen for the copper inside of it.
How is that funny?
I would like some level of automotive oversite, but in the U.S. it is like guns, no good law will ever be created.
My problem with the camera is once we all except it, they will only install more for,...."reasons".
Yeah paranoid police state attitude but, I have yet to see where the "common man" doesn't get fucked by a new law/policy.
Yeah paranoid police state attitude but, I have yet to see where the "common man" doesn't get fucked by a new law/policy.
But that didn't happen. They've installed cameras in places. There are cameras in places.
The common man always gets fucked...but those are other laws. As in the speeding or other traffic laws aren't tied to how much money you make here.
If there isn't some reasonable chance of getting caught, there's no sense in having a law.
I've been saying these exact things about the police here. Literally every fucking election cycle there is another "more funding for the police" measure of some sort in the ballot. Last time I looked, city law enforcement is 40+% of the city budget, and they DON'T DO FUCK ALL ABOUT ANY TRAFFIC LAW. If I can't suppose that local law enforcement will perform the most basic of actual law enforcement, why on earth would I give them anymore money? Maybe start pulling over the 5th guy through the red light and I'll start thinking about approving more police funding. Until such time, eat dick, pigs.
Same exact thing is happening here. There has been 0 traffic enforcement for the past several years and now all the assholes have figured out they can drive however they want with no consequences. The police refuse to be traffic cops, although I don't know what they do instead. The city did just pass a new law that will allow red light cameras to be installed so that is a start, although I haven't heard yet when that is going to happen. The 'Department of Mobility and Infrastructure' has also been making efforts to install traffic calming in problem areas, anything from speed humps to lane narrowing to mini traffic circles, which has helped despite all of the boomer complaints about it.
JHFC, don't get me started...
here in PA they had to resort to putting traffic cams on school buses because people passing buses when they were stopped to pick kids up with flashing lights. its an automatic $300 fine. repeat offenders are not only fined, but can get points on their license or have it suspended for multiple offenses.
Oh yeah I forgot about that one since I'm rarely on the roads at the same time as busses. I'm pretty sure people were complaining about that too around here. Mowing down a few children on your commute is the price we have to pay for Freedom.
