NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Newsmakers: “To be told a city-run grocery store is implausible, but $500 million a day to kill people in Iran and Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”
People should be thinking about this war as downstream of all the generals and admirals fired shortly after the inauguration. Anyone who would be likely to identify risks has either already been fired or got the message.
gay hockey is just a gateway drug for the real hard stuff: the music of wolf parade
Image: watercolor of some crumbling clay on the left and some rich earth and a green and pink flower on the right. Quote by Baldwin: To accept one's past - one's history - is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is Learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
I wonder if a hard-line successor will assume power and further destabilize the region just like every other time this has happened
😮😱🤣🤣🤣
Wow... WOW. This is so over-the-top wrong, even The Onion hasn't thought of it. Very strong "Señor Chang from Community" vibes. 😅
Take a few seconds to click and hear for yourself.
Today I learned that tempura originated from Portuguese missionaries in 16th century Japan, who brought their tradition of breading and frying foods with them. The name apparently comes from the Latin phrase “ad tempora cuaresma” (in the time of Lent) because it was popular Lenten food.

This lede is a good example of the torqued discourse around cops and crime in local news. The "though" at the beginning of this creates an implicit causality (need more cops for less crime), but the evidence presented suggests the exact opposite
Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.
I live deep in the Kirk/Spock fandom and there is a conversation I think VERY few people in media are equipped to touch about how many queer women write and read m/m, with a different lens from either cishet women or queer men. we literally did a whole fan con panel on why lesbians love Spock 😂

GUYS OMFG
my favorite LGBTQ Catholic site published a Lenten spiritual meditation on “Heated Rivalry” and it’s genuinely so beautiful I cried??? it’s all about how queer identity/self-acceptance and queer community and queer love (including, yes, all the onscreen queer sex) are sacred things
i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
Columbia President with NEW details:
5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.
They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."
A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.
They ignored him & took the student.
Mmmmmm mirepoix
In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,,

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
Just to be clear, Massachusetts has a regulatory body that sets our prices. It is a little complicated, but this is the legacy of Gov. Baker allowing coporate lackey's to run our oversight. If Healey wants to tackle rising energy prices, just regulatorily take the profits away #mapoli
The thing about the women’s hockey team declining the SOTU invitation is in part that sometimes, if you do not need certain kinds of power, you get to retain others.
"The BBC and the BAFTAs behaved appallingly, with horrific consequences for Jordan, Lindo, and Davidson" pretty much summed up my reaction to the events of last night before I read this very very good essay that reached similar conclusions in a very thoughtful way.
Superb sleuthing by Emily Horne to establish that the New York Times and Politico laundered right-wing "pink slime" propaganda designed to make AOC and Gretchen Whitmer look bad. @emilyhorne.bsky.social
I hollered
this just in from new york city: we’re hearing that mayor mamdani just signed an executive order making it illegal to NOT stand at your window and fold your arms and say “wow, it’s really coming down out there”
New Jacob Tierney interview!
“Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney takes a break from writing season 2 to tell The National’s Ian Hanomansing about the show’s phenomenal success, and why it's so much more than just a gay, smutty hockey series.”
