I'm dead serious when I say this is essential NYC mayor work
“i don’t understand why people like [popular thing]” is a pet peeve of mine tbh. it’s usually not that hard to understand, even if you don’t like the thing yourself, as long as you try
Cory Booker… remind me: did he endorse Mamdani in the mayors race in NYC ?
Kunitsu-Gami isn’t for everybody but it is VERY MUCH for the people it’s for
if this bar is in NYC, lemme know so I can go there and order a roy rogers
Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax
NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty
The reason that there are so many dad games is that some men had careers long enough that they both 1) gained the political capital to pitch and then execute a project with those themes 2) were able to sustain a career long enough that it was viable for them to parent while still work* in games.
Hard pass
If you win the Masters back to back you should get green pants
Wishing a happy Brian’s Hat Day to all who celebrate.
To be clear the main issue was mainly very poor quality of sex education (or lack thereof) in a lot of the US, as well as the major financial toll childcare takes on the most economically vulnerable people, so the very notion that ANYONE would view a decrease in teen pregnancy as bad is WILD to me
growing up, I remember the idea of teen pregnancy was something often mentioned with some mixture of derision, judgement, and sincere concern. Regardless of how anyone felt, everyone seemed to agree: teenagers should not be parents, and we should do whatever we can to avoid that happening
Hmm, do you think months of police violence, expulsions, deportations, explicit censorship, and billionaires targeting teenagers for lifelong employment blacklisting — all things that happened but Lauren Eagan couldn’t find space to mention here — did anything to tamp down protest energy on campus?
An important thing to remember about the Iran War, at the strategic level, is that there was never any reason for it to start, there's no reason for it continue, and the people involved are too stupid to allow it to end
am I missing something? why would Chicago do this?
he looks like a recently-divorced santa claus
He lived through slavery and did nothing. Good riddance.
We’re excited to announce that we’re making our SEGA logo 3% more blue.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the new look.
Israel's legislators chose dispassionately to turn their Apartheid State, formally, into a Genocidal State. Not only is Israel a state formally demoting Palestinians to second class status but also one free to hang them, and only them, legally. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w... x.com/yanisvaroufa...

I just learned that Peja Stojakovic’s son is playing in the Final Four and Carl Crawford’s son plays CF for the Phillies and nothing has made me feel older

"The jigsaw concept alone sold me on Jigrift. Add in a gorgeous pixel art style, and you have a cozy puzzler that’s easy on the eyes yet tough on the mind. I’d have it no other way."
anytime some transphobic bozo talks about "fairness" or "genetic advantages" I think of this photo
We don't need an Ocarina of Time remake. The N64 game plays just fine. Anyway I'm playing the Switch 2 remake on day one and probably gonna give it GOTY, I'm more predictable than I like to admit
“Since the IOC began allowing the participation of transgender athletes in 2004, only one openly transgender woman has competed at the Olympics, a weightlifter from New Zealand who did not make it past her opening round of competition at the Tokyo Games.”
One.
maybe it's the contrarian impulse kicking in but if it were me i'd rather get a freemium corporate swag jacket and a big hot dog to do a presser than 60 seconds with ken rosenthal asking me whether I Felt It Tonight
Chicago White Sox eliminated from playoff contention
Happy Opening Day
