The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Even better when, as in the case of the quoted poster here, it's from someone who literally just moved here a few years ago, and they're shameless enough to frame it as concern for their disadvantaged neighbors. A literal, unironic "gentrification is when someone moves here after me" moment.

Moving to New York and pulling the ladder up behind myself, but wokely

Portland Neighbors Welcome is a great group with a great name.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

I think this is one of the most famous (and shocking) events to ever happen on LA Law and I love that it’s just thrown on at the end of this lengthy episode summary like an afterthought. 😂

What does he think people are discouraged *about*? Earth not being survivable through their lifetimes? Because if so, the next question is… what does he know that we don’t?

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

Schiff voted to confirm one of Trump’s judges roughly an hour before his account posted this.

First time I’ve done a costume in quite some time.

Just the absolutest dumbest motherfuckers.

"Antidrug campaign" dear lord

Mamdani is right to call out the Islamophobia besetting the NYC mayoral campaign. Dems who damage our long-term collective interests by encouraging bigotry for short-term gain are fools.

Mamdani: "The bigger question is whether we are willing to say goodbye to ... anti-Muslim sentiment that has grown so endemic in our city that when we hear it, we know not whether the words were spoken by a Republican or a Democrat."

The post below is incredibly dishonest. You don't need a graduate degree in statistics or survey analysis to see that the most common response to Mamdani is a lack of familiarity, *not* disfavor. In fact, he is viewed less unfavorably than Newsom, AOC, Harris or Schumer.

This made my joints ache.

... severed economic aid to Colombia in a tantrum, threatened to crack down on NYC, announced drug prices would be coming down "500 percent," claimed Pete Buttigieg tried to fix the air traffic system with "glass wire," and committed probably a dozen other crimes we've already forgotten about.

... threatened to invade every state in the US, renewed his conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and vowed his people would prevent it from happening "again," bragged about illegally slashing programs Democrats like, said he would send disaster relief to a state because it voted for him ...

... called several African American politicians "low IQ," called all Democrats terrorists, insisted the 7 million Americans who protested his regime were all paid, showed a video of him flying a jet and dropping shit all over them, sent $40 billion to Argentina to prop up a fellow dipshit tyrant ...

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Just disgusting.

Tragic to see the White House being demolished. One of the United States’ oldest buildings, it was built in 1978.

I assume this is a British person making fun of us, and rightly so, because even though seeing it demolished really does suck, that part of the White House was only built in… 1942 😅

Before Trump, Cuomo’s conduct would have been a complete career-killer. (In a way, maybe it was, but the press doesn’t know.) Trump’s rise has been corrosive to every part of our politics, not just his party.

Told my friend that two city councilors were seated right next to us at Helium. Turns out they were there to speak! Thanks @councilorgreen.bsky.social and @councilormorillo.bsky.social for your great work and for chatting. And thanks @waltermasterson.bsky.social for facilitating and being so funny.

Updating my LEGO White House

Did not see/hear the NYC mayoral debate and don’t care but if your analysis is “the debate didn’t hurt/help anyone” why even share your thoughts? Elections are zero sum. In the event that literally not one vote was moved by a debate… maybe pick a more interesting lens to evaluate from?

Great scoop by the Times here! I love it when they “break” news by… I don’t know, looking at photos @lawdorknews.bsky.social posted a day earlier? Does this qualify as investigative journalism? I know they do a lot of evil, but then you realize the payoff with stories like this.

X now has fewer daily users than Threads... yet so many reporters remain there as their main platform. I just don't get it.

sorry I couldn’t find a version of this meme where both of the arms are white

As I told a friend after seeing One Battle After Another, art should respond to the context & right now I don’t really have time for nuance and shades of gray when it comes to fascism. Having lost the cultural consensus that nazis are bad, I don’t mind if people get beat over the head w/ that notion

The 1987 film about a time-travelling mannequin is a campy cult favorite, and queerness is the core of its plastic heart. Read @derekbgayle.bsky.social's tribute to MANNEQUIN popheist.com/mannequin-19...

"You cannot be explaining your Nazi tattoo and defeat a multi-term incumbent."

If Janet Mills doesn't get an Iron Front tattoo on one of her breasts—preferably live!—it's a huge wasted opportunity.

call me an overly sentimental patriotic American but I personally do not enjoy seeing the president literally destroy the White House and drop shit on our greatest cities

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

We’re going to see topless photos of Janet Mills before this is all over.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

The fix was in when they said dude was guilty enough to kill but not guilty enough to detain in the wreckage. They're picking people out of a hat to murder for ratings.

pleased to announce that there seems to be a passive-aggressive conflict roiling the august pages of Cooks Illustrated, Fall Harvest recipes edition. allow me to explain:

Every time I find myself agreeing with this guy for a long stretch, I think to myself, “But wait, I swear he has some really awful takes, though” and then right on cue we get a banger like this.

No one will believe this but I swear I was finally getting around to grading my students’ speeches. Really! But I can’t because apparently Canvas uses Amazon Web Services.

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

It's less than 24 hours after 5-8 million Americans marched against a president who called them domestic terrorists, and there is zero reference to it on the current NYT home page, except for a Bouie op/ed that came out several days earlier.

I get that there are times when disputes over news coverage are a matter of emphasis or perspective on big, sprawling events, but it feels bad for public trust in a publication when it fails to accurately describe a video that’s 20 seconds long, and that everyone can see.

it's important for a new york times news editor to not read the news, in order to remain objective
