There was a bullshit newspaper sitting on the stands at Main St station. The top headline was promoting AI data centres and praising Danielle Smith. I threw all of them out.
Strongly recommend that you follow suit if you see shit like that.
Update! Gateway (the convenience store chain in subways) gets paid to put this bullshit up.
The paper is called "Druthers", and it's run by the "theyLied" antivaxxer idiots. It's calling for people to step up against these data centres, but it's kind of buried at the end. Such a weird fucking article.
If the store is open, they'll stop you from grabbing the pile.
@mayintoronto great tinder for setting a data centre on fire 😌💭🔥✨
@mayintoronto oh they print these out and put them on newspaper stands to seem legit. when I was in uni similar vaccine denier papers used to pop up on the stands for the student magazines
@mayintoronto hey we recycle in this city.or try to.
But yeah that shit is compost.
Jun 27, 2026, 11:27 AMsuch newspapers are also perfect for lining the floor of a kitchen or utility room if you want to repair a bicycle in there 😀
@vfrmedia @tezoatlipoca My home is sacred. Such filth should never enter my sanctuary.
@mayintoronto Yep that paper shows up in a little library near a subway station here. There is convenient recycling right outside the station.
Jun 27, 2026, 4:56 PMCopies of that thing are irregularly delivered to just in front of the keyed front door of my apartment building.
It feels like the spiritual cousin of Your Ward News.
@zygmyd It was delivered by a guy wearing a theylied hat carrying a guitar. I asked him "what kind of hippie are you to promote this shit?"
Jun 27, 2026, 4:59 PMI have never seen who delivers them. Per the thing's website people can get bundles of 100 for a shipping and handling fee and then do their own distribution. I assume it's the usual collection of very underwhelming people doing this stuff.
