Meth disguised as Canadian beer kills 21-year-old in New Zealand

This is fucking awful. Such a terrible, out of nowhere death

Have to say aswell, after reading the article, how stupid is his boss who gave him it? He was involved in the whole meth operation with these cans and decided to give away the excess ones that he thought only had beer in them. Why not just throw them away? Such an idiotic risk for no good reason. Was he high on the supply or something? Only thing I can think to explain why he'd do something as utterly careless as this. And now he's in prison for 20 years because of it

Somebody You Used to Rule

It's so funny she didn't wanna release it properly but then it blew up through no real effort of her own years down the line and people kept asking her to do a proper version over and over. So she did what people wanted and now people won't stop giving her shit for it. You really can't win with the internet nowadays

I've seen so many people saying that the reason they hate it so much is cos it's overused on tiktok and stuff. Ok so...is that her fault? It's also funny that people complain she didn't do anything different with the instrumentation when the Gotye original's is him sampling a song from the 60s and actually making it far simpler and less interesting

Far-right populists top polls in Germany, France and Britain for the first time

So glad the liberals, both in government and voters, that always lead us to fascism are so invested in shit like "respectability politics", politics "being boring" and being on their supposed intellectual high horse because "emotions are bad, you should never raise your voice when people are starving and being genocided, you're just the same as the far right." But then while saying this just doing mostly what the far right want, pretending it's somehow their idea. It's really working so well to stop them.

But then the liberals would happily throw us into fascism if it meant there was an "I told you so" they could somehow twist out of it to say to the left

I just looked it up now seeing as I hadn't heard of this either

From what I can gather one of the senior members of the development team, Drew Harrison, made a (mild) joke in a tweet about the suspected shooter in Charlie Kirk's death. Loads of right wingers, being the thin skinned, wannabe victims but apparently "free speech warriors" that they are, harassed her and contacted Sucker Punch trying to get her fired, threatening to boycott the game and so on. Sucker Punch and/or Sony predictably caved and did so

If I'm missing anything, please feel free to add to this. As I say I'm only just hearing about it and haven't gone on a deep dive about it

Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised'

"The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV... the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm."

You mean like having them stand there in the station with dogs to stop people for suspected drug possession? Y'know, "harmful" crimes. I know that's not the only thing they ever do but they certainly do waste so much of their time with pointless stuff like that, at least in certain cities

Exactly what we need aswell, people being more discouraged to use bikes and forcing people even more into getting cars and making our already overcrowded and dangerous roads even more overcrowded and dangerous. Wonder if there's an easy solution to stop people taking bikes from the bike lock up areas? Like hmm maybe having them all be properly secure and the station employing one or two people to keep watch? Nah silly idea...

Don't talk about spending money early in a preventative manner that benefits society. That's illegal here. We let things get bad and end up spending way more money in a reactive way that usually brings the worst outcome. And we're proud of it
