I’m sure it could be done! One factor might be that beneath downtown Manhattan streets it’s like if HR Giger designed an entire civic infrastructure 8 times in 100 years and just kept smooshing the next one on top of the old one and laying tarmac on top to stop it from all popping out
This is wonderful to see and this label has legs. Who is going to vote to defund the programs supporting New York’s Cutest? Next, we need a toddler union
Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square
A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them
interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists
The party that claims to be bravely defending “Western Civilization” from its supposed imminent destruction by barbarian hordes, has empowered a guy who eats roadkill to shut down research on one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs in decades.
i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you
"[Sharrows] are hardly better than nothing at all [...] the city should review all sharrows and bikeways on roads where the speed limit is over 20 mph, and upgrade those bikeways to protected bike lanes." - Christopher White, Exectuive Director of SFBike

The US, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases in history, has caused $10 trillion in GDP damages worldwide, due to the country’s contributions to climate change.

This feels weird. A lot of reporting is sounding very much like "how long will this take to get back to normal" when there's no sign in the short term that normality will return at all
It's like 2020 Covid reporting
given the modern conservative fascination with Sparta it's at least a little funny that they've engineered a situation in which Persia is able to level a dramatically uneven battlefield by forcing the conflict into a narrow pathway
Re: my last reposts
“Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.
However much John Roberts cloaks him in unaccountability, doing this remains a very serious federal crime and stories about it should say so.
Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok
Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside
They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨
London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.
NYT on Feb. 13, 2026: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises. Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response. “I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.
NYT on March 16, 2026: On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said. Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.
Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid
Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:
In case it is not obvious, war mongers like to minimize the role of Congress in decisions to use force because obtaining prior congressional authorization makes it harder to go to war.
Exactly as intended by the US Constitution.
I always thought the way D2’s buried lore text and complicated menus developed was a compounding problem over time, but here is a fresh UX, no constraint on what they could do, and it’s an unintuitive and unhelpful labyrinth from Day 1.
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
Sometimes I step back and marvel at the fact that VSPs in US politics have convinced themselves that nuclear—an industry that has been consistently stepping on its dick for over 60 years—is the serious and sober energy future, while solar, which is breaking records all around us ...
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks with reporters. (AP / Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”
We have lost a decade of our life to an evil idiot…a dolt. A moron. One of the most racist and dumbest humans on the planet.
10 years.
Ah yes, that famous ‘workplace related gang of just one person’ that we’ve all heard of and seen in movies
