Y’all we ate insane amounts is canele.

Guys, Albert Hall truly is bucket list beautiful.

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

The South Carolina senator behind SB 323 says his bill wouldn't outlaw birth control. But we found a pamphlet he wrote that says “all forms of the birth control pill” kill a “human being.” jessica.substack.com/p/abortion-a...

EMTALA was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on April 7, 1986, as part of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985. The act was passed in response to the widespread practice of “patient dumping” from mostly private community hospitals to county hospitals.

imagine being a catholic bishop speaking on catholic social teaching and being told you’re wrong. guess that’s what happens when the only thing anyone associates with the faith is ABORTION versus, oh, idk, education, healthcare, poverty, immigration, human rights, solidarity, subsidiarity, women’s

I have a pretty clear memory of the collapse of car leasing (like companies pulling out over weekends) preceding the 2008 financial crisis 🚘

Among the many performative inanities of FB is the happy heavenly birthday stuff. If it brings you peace to write a tribute to a loved one, great. People posting happy birthday messages on the walls of the departed is just creepy and weird. Is it just me?

When books on my TBR are all waitlisted, I’ve been grabbing historic works to fill the gap. This week it’s A Room of One’s Own. Timely! Can’t believe it wasn’t banned in its day. Synchronicity, I visited The Morgan Library Thurs and discovered a of Woolf’s letter researching Austen. #BookSky 📚

This Sunday, we’re SHREDDING 🎸 Join me (or someone who looks a lot like me) at one of two locations to safely dispose of old bills, bank statements and documents you no longer need. + DJs, family portraits and frozen treats. 12-3pm in Harlem and the Bronx. Details in the video ⬇️

If women can't get promoted or earn less than men, they tell us to negotiate better, lean in, & work harder. When Black Americans struggle financially, they tell us to work harder, pull up our pants, behave more professionally. When white men fall behind, they tear down society because it's unfair.

S2 of Karen Pirie is finally on BritBox. Lauren Lyle is so good in this role. #TVSky

EMERGENCY MEDICAID REIMBURSES HOSPITALS FOR CARE TO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE BY LAW HOSPITALS CANNOT TURN AWAY ANYONE IN AN EMERGENCY. RONALD REGAN SIGNED THIS INTO LAW.

I say it all the time, but imma say it again: a lot of very book smart people lack the emotional education and communication skills that would allow them to generate the courage they want to embody in their work. They are incurious about their own emotional lives, and consequently, those of others.

What Klein couldn’t seem to admit was that his core political analysis is born of his personal experience, and nothing about his personal experience prepared him to face the complexity of the current moment. What he could not cope with acknowledging, is that he never thought that would matter.

The Gateway Tunnel Project will create nearly tens of thousands of good-paying union jobs, and I was proud to secure the funding for it. The Trump administration is trying to kill jobs and Jack's on board — leaving New Jerseyans behind. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/n...

Congrats on destroying one of the most impactful positive projects for an entire region of America that is the regional engine of the country’s economy.

Undocumented immigrants aren’t even *allowed* to access Medicare, Medicaid or ACA credits. Republicans like Randy are going to spike your health insurance premiums, but they REALLY want you to blame an immigrant instead.

actually it's ok to look things up in the dictionary instead of blaming the author for using a word you didn't know learning is good

My Dad read aloud a bunch of Mark Twain aloud to me when I was a kid. We read Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper, Huckleberry Finn. I wish he were here to read Percival Everett’s James with me.

Perhaps, but a really dangerous cohort are the olds consuming almost nothing but video.

I think microblogging is great You cannot learn to read and do critical analysis in all of the needed ways by only reading in snippets Read articles, read books, read poetry, listen to hip-hop with an attention to the lyrics Think about the possible, multivalent meanings Discuss them at length

For non-academics, let me explain that it's rare for a grad student to take an undergrad class, that's it's almost unheard of for a grad student to take an undergrad class in an entirely different field, and that it's totally insane for a grad student to hijack the class with political sea lioning.

There's a direct line from this to Schumer's mostly-uselessness. The idea that their job could be something other than optimizing the deck chairs on the Titanic - that the task before us is to make people understand there's an iceberg - is just too much agency for them.

"People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned." ~ James Baldwin 🌸🌸🌸

This site is a great source for adding to your TBR list. Disappointed that I couldn’t find the author’s debut novel on Libby or Hoopla.

Anyone who’s ever taught knows how to spot someone like TCW who rarely does the reading but still has lots to say about it.

The Administration’s theory: Foreign drug companies will cut prices if Americans can buy elsewhere. The flaw: For patented drugs, there's no competition and demand is inelastic. That’s the textbook case where buyers—American patients and insurers—eat the cost.

Name a Book you never stop recommending. When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka

Just like we had a profile of Mamdani's excellent social media team, we could use a profile of Jeffries' excruciatingly awful, tone-deaf team. Who are these people? Why don't they know how to communicate?

I watched All of You on Apple. Must say, I was looking forward to this and found it really disappointing. Awful. Also, Apple made a very similar film called Finger Nails a few years ago with the same creepy Test premise, but actually better. #TVSky #FilmSky

this woman has been working at Nintendo for almost 20 years and nearly a decade longer than the guy she is replacing how much more qualified does she have to be lol

Everyone in NJ is talking about the huge increase in their electric bills. A ton of campaign ads I see are Mikie and Jack blaming each other for the high electric bills.

Imagine my surprise last night when I discovered a lovely cozy murder mystery called Miss Merkel. #TVSky

A surge of public lewdness arrests inside a Penn Station bathroom by Amtrak Police has rattled the LGBTQ community and landed at least one person in ICE custody, THE CITY has learned.

The year I was born, 1990, was the year when tens of thousands of girls were aborted for no other reason than being girls. This is the story of the Year of the White Horse.

Great question. Not sure the answer is purely YA. By 14 there should also be adult options. Some of this used to be filled by magazines, I think. How much of this is a lack of books to read, and how much is short attention span fed by YouTube, TikTok and pod bro content bc it’s passive?

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

I kind of love this option: “The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office will hold a one-day free flu shot clinic from 2 to 6 p.m. Oct. 16 at the Lehigh County Forensic Center at 4350 Broadway, Allentown. Besides shots, tours of the forensic center as well as hot dogs and light refreshments, will be offered”

“data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients. It means the decline you would normally expect in one year would take four years after treatment, giving patients decades of "good quality life", www.bbc.com/news/article...

AI 👀 “Sinclair owns and operates television stations but does not own any subway (metro) stations in the New York City area. Sinclair is a media company that owns broadcast television and radio stations, including ABC and CW network affiliates, but not the public transit infrastructure”

Drowning people in constant, enraging noise is the whole point. You never get to step back and reflect and see the bigger picture because you're pulled too far under it all.

PSA: If you’re under age 65 in New York, and you want a Covid vaccination from a pharmacy without a prescription, you might need to have the pharmacist look up the recent executive order from the governor allowing this. They’re not all aware of this, and some are telling people they can’t do it.

I know I am only a humble speech pathologist, but for the professional record I reject everything that RFK says or will say about autism, and it’s important to recognize what he’s really saying is that to be neurodiverse is worse than to be dead

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

There are absolutely going to be women who endanger their pregnancies refusing to take acetaminophen for fever or give it to their kids. And Dr Oz just standing there condoning this? He knows better! How can anyone sell their soul like that?

Tylenol is used for fever! Per March of Dimes: A temperature higher than 103 F (39.4 C) during the 1st trimester also may increase the risk of: Cleft lip and cleft palate Congenital heart defects Miscarriage Having a fever later in your pregnancy may increase your risk of preterm labor.
