A step ladder is called a step ladder because of the steps, but here the author subverted that obvious meaning to have "step" mean that they are part of different families related by marriage, and then inserting that into the stepbrother trope I linked to above, resulting in an even more ridiculous situation than in the porn plots, since humans and ladders usually aren't sexually interested in each other.
"People who annoy you"
LLM companies that are seeing less success end up renting out their now-superfluous infrastructure (see also: Anthropic using Grok's infra), so this sounds like Mistral isn't seeing the success they were planning for when they bought their current infra?
That's basically the same - GTK supports those, GNOME doesn't use them.
Especially considering that, in cities, it doesn't really make sense to have multiple lanes in between traffic lights - it doesn't actually speed up anyone's trip. That's a lot of free space ripe for the picking.
I don't know if they changed the title, or if that's editorialising here, but "bikes or cars" is a false dichotomy - bikes can't single-handedly replace cars, because they take up much less space. In practice, it's "bikes, parks, pedestrian areas, housing, terraces, etc, —or cars".
It's very possible that GNOME isn't going to blur anything by default even if GTK supports it.
Finally a relatable comic.
