Things are going on in New York right that people may not understand for thousands of years

The dudes who burned sage outside the MSG Gates the day after President Trump desecrated the place, attending the only game the  Knicks lost all postseason, are the real  NBA Finals MVPs.

the real political correctness is that you can’t go on the news and say that this is hick shit

You can say the most vile shit imaginable about the places that produce most of the nation’s GDP where most Americans live but the second you so much as breathe disdain for massively subsidized flyover exurbs You Have Done A No Growth, How Dare You.

Brooklyn. 🏀 (via Paul Williams) 💕

My entire feed is people from all across the country suggesting someone named James Dolan to "eat shit and die" more or less and I think that's an America worth fighting for

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation

Standing ovation for Rep. Beatty, who sued Trump over the renaming of the Kennedy Center, took him to court, and won!

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

this is a complete societal failure, and something has to be done about this very soon

would be weird to pal around play dressup with people who sent a paramilitary force to brutalize and gun down your constituents. presumably she is from a red state or something

Findings like these are produced regularly but readers will never see them in the nyt.🧵

The contradiction/opportunity staring Dems in the face is DJT wants an all-powerful Federal USG that can push net-fiscal-contributor, high-density Dem ecosystems (& the world) around & a USG so small, it is funded by tariffs alone with limited recourse to the fiscal capacity of Dem ecosystems.

european [soccer teams/fans] coming to america and finding out that this place is incredible is always fun

Jalen Brunson: “You’re allowed to think about the worst possible scenario. But you gotta go out there and do something about it.” A good mantra for fighting fascism too.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

The ICE raids didn’t lead to wider anti-immigrant violence in the US because American right wingers don’t participate in politics, they watch it on TV. Their main belief is “I should not have to do shit,” their reaction to Minneapolis was “I wouldn’t go outside to do politics unless you paid me”

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

it says right on the tin that this is a fucking republic. as a purely technical matter we are supposedly in charge of this fucking thing. we cannot continue to allow the worst elements of human society to turn their worst impulses into global policy. this is a matter of human self preservation

Well this aged like milk.

“the president was loudly booed in the countrys most populous city we traveled to this small town in south dakota to find out why”

Trump gets booed and heckled out of New York City as he departs Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

If there is a physical symbol of the contempt billionaires feel for ordinary Americans, it is the infestation of noisy, resource-sucking, electricity-ravening data centers that support a product those billionaires hope will replace hundreds of thousands of middle-class workers.

once again tapping the sign to remind you all to support independent, worker run, reader funded newsrooms how and where you are able to

i really enjoy the people insisting nobody read/understood the nyt oped on Mexico when even the sunday school understanding is that America is the root cause analysis for around 80% of Mexico’s institutional corruption and social woes.

BLOGGER WHO HAS NEVER HELD A REAL JOB: you bitches sound just like human reources

I don't think people are ready for catastrophe that is coming at the end of this year that will be the severe shortage of fertilizer due to the Iran war and a super el niño at the same time. We could be looking at a massive famine that will kill tens of millions.

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

Next stop 34th Street

Welp *USDA CONFIRMS DEADLY SCREWWORM IN US CATTLE

The US is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

this fucking guy rules

"a goofy movie": a humble title. why it's not even necessarily "the" goofy movie. we simply, respectfully offer you this story for your consideration "doug's 1st movie": the hubris of icarus. the unbridled audacity to imply that this is only the 1st chapter of the Doug Cinematic Universe. pathetic

this is (I hope obviously) neither to excuse the pitcher or QB or whatever of the past era nor the harassment / other fuckery they got away with. but it just isn't true, as a description of the moral sociology here, that the mainstream position was to valorize the vices / confuse them with virtue

Feminism made positive virtues available to all, so the only distinguishing feature of maleness are the vices we've historically been allowed to get away with.

Me: “None of this would be happening if they’d voted Kamala Harris. And I TOLD THEM THAT!” My disinterested wife crocheting a blanket: “mhmm honey you sure did”

the clear takeaway here is that the administration wants to unlawfully seize the smithsonian and make it a temple for white supremacist “history” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/a...

Many thanks to Rax for keeping the 'David Foster Wallace was actually a shitty person with awful politics' train 'a-running.

just saw a “we lost Mark Ruffalo to the darkside” threads post on instagram, and was like what did he do, come out as pro AI or something? no. he said we need to move away from capitalism. lmao.

This “calorie standard” language is sinister as fuck. Basically we’re feeding them enough to stay alive but nothing more.

Paxton has won three statewide elections in Texas, two while under suspicion of fraud

He’s fine

lmfao

I've heard lots of good jokes about trans people...generally from and by trans people. The key thing is those jokes are based in actual knowledge about the trans experience and foibles of daily life as opposed to mean-spirited, ignorant and boring attempts to join a moral panic.
