This is annoying, sorry. If it's not on your schedule already please do an episode on the Ann St Garage Collapse! Parking in Manhattan, businesses that shouldn't exist, badly converted structures. Seems on topic!

Is that the right Ben Rhodes? @rhodesben.bsky.social

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Moving from left to right, less complicated than it initially seems, self inflicted. Yes this is a very good analysis of elon’s trajectory.

Compilation videos?

online gambling might be the latest Worst Thing Ever to become widely normalized

It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

Of all the problems in the world that AI could be put to solving (and there really are many), "Not enough people posting online" is not one of them.

Just checked, Floyd Bennet is helicopters only. ISP is a weird choice though because they had options closer to Manhattan. Usually GA flights would go to Republic Airport in Farmingdale (or Teterboro, lol). My guess is that they used ISP because it has NY Natl. Guard and SCPD aviation facilities.

There are plenty of families that are heartbroken, his is just the only one of them that made the news.

Boy: The emperor is naked!
Mika: The comment was a little too flippant for this moment that we’re in.

I wish journalists would just write the “Actually I Don’t Think It Matters” story they clearly want to write, instead of googling BS to reverse engineer a “This Happened 3 Times Before So It’s Normal Actually”

Like anybody THAT online can even remember anything or know offhand what normal is!!-

“I’ll stop drinking if you let me run the Pentagon” is maybe the most alcoholic thing anyone has ever said

In the spirit of bipartisanship joe biden should pardon the ceo assassin

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
