Here's an idea, a reboot of the Pirates of the Caribbean, with Cam Newton as Jack Sparrow!

he's a white guy who has been blessed enough in his professional career to stand next to other more impressive and qualified white guys

This snippet of an anecdote from a 2017 NYC subway derailment has been floating around in my brain pretty much nonstop since the day I read it

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery. I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.

NEW: A teacher called over a dozen therapists to find mental health care following a miscarriage. An EMT spent months looking for one after a suicide attempt. They couldn’t find any in-network provider able to see them. Now they're suing their insurer.

Malachi Toney is a year younger than my son and a year older than my daughter.

Get them on SNL! I want to see tents on sidewalks again!

Zohran Sheriff Mubarek Olsun!

Did Gr*k put them in the swim suits? FOH

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

In major decision, the Wyoming Supreme Court knocked down 2 abortion bans today -- citing an anti-Obamacare amendment! The amendment was initially passed to protect people from ACA "threats" like "death panels." It's now an inadvertent shield for abortion rights talkingpointsmemo.com/news/anti-ob...

Yes please!!! 🙏

Wow, had no idea! So something like this would still be hidden to me! Had no idea @ish-not.bsky.social

when i describe the american condition as one of existential shame, i don’t mean that every individual person should walk around bedeviled by personal guilt, but rather that the unusually high quality of life & safety most americans get to enjoy comes at a cost few of us have to worry about

We need this. Let's remember that prior to pandemic influx of federal money, New York was one of the donor states. I have a feeling, based on trends, we will get there again.

Also the target of shame isn't just them, it's people who are still figuring out who they should be like. The goal is to make it really unappealing to be like these extremists.

Lots of things happened 5 years ago on this day. This one felt like hope. For as long as I got to type booyah… @sarahkendzior.bsky.social taught me well…

Apparently, a crazy College Football game. I love my feed right now

Everyone wish congestion pricing a happy birthday!

Happy birthday to congestion pricing, which is working. Cry about it, haters. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/05/h...

This might be the only time in Josh Allen’s career that he has a path to the Super Bowl that doesn’t involve Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow.

AI is a random middle-man created by shitty techlords, forced into systems so that they get paid and that the Magic Number Lines go up instead of flatten or descend.

darnold really tried to lose this game

if only could these companies realize that this regime is so volatile and not good for long term business, and maybe fund the Dems running next year? Like maybe they will again have to accept the swing to the green energy, but at least rules will be rules…

I guess I need to say this since some people have lost their minds: I don’t care about baseball right now. I am concerned about the safety of Venezuelan baseball players and their families—who are sheltering in place—after our country illegally bombed them to steal their oil.

unfathomable that people are replying with "who cares about baseball???". hmm i wonder why full-time baseball writers would discuss news in relation to the PEOPLE they spend their time writing about, who are PEOPLE WITH LIVES BEING DIRECTLY IMPACTED. god forbid someone care about them!

I don’t hate these backup QB commercials, @minakimes.bsky.social but the concept still bothers me. Rarely you put in a backup because the starter sucks at something (if you are a well run organization and not say the Bills with Peter man or the Panthers with that guy, Anderson?)

An interesting thing about Greenland is on the road between Kangerlussuaq (Greenland's only inland community because it used to be a US military base) and the ice sheet there are signs warning you to under no conditions go off road. The US mined the area during WWII but didn't map the mines

isn’t the church… a warm… collective? I mean… speaking of Catholics, let’s remember how pope Francis was like, yeah one wants to kick out immigrants and the other kills babies. Pick lesser evil.

Turning Jesus into an Ayn Rand libertarian lunatic is the greatest trick the devil ever pulled.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Something to keep in mind about rhetoric around Zohran is that the same billionaires and bigots who tried to smear him during the election will continue their efforts, especially if he continues to be well-liked and successful. These smear campaigns can be extremely sophisticated and convincing

It really shouldn’t be a small miracle to encounter a person capable of nuanced thinking…

2026 already delivering

For all the haters out there, did it again yesterday! Home made Russian (Olivier) salad with mayonnaise made from scratch! #HappyNewYear

Funniest thing Mamdani could do would be to delete the account

You DO NOT leave your biscuit dough unattended when you’re living with four cats #cathursday #HappyNewYear

normally i wouldn't watch anderson and andy but apparently CNN is the only station that isn't tape-delaying the ball drop. anyway they're interviewing a very drunk and very giddy stephen colbert, and when he was asked what 2025 taught him, he replied "don't trust billionaires!" #hero

do not let me step into the new year on a swaggy foot. That’s not safe

This!

I’ve been writing an annual column for 20 years on the year in sports and politics. Here’s this year’s edition. Short version: 2025 was the fucking worst. But maybe 2026 sees a turnaround that’s already being glimpsed in unlikely places www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I guess I said my farewells to the MetroCard a while ago. What I am still not OK with, is quiet killing off the 30 day unlimited. I believe for someone who is in the city most of the year, these tap tap tap things are gonna cost some $160 more per year.

except they unceremoniously killed off 30 day unlimited and made it approx $160 more expensive per year.
