the fact that there is free parking at all in manhattan is wild to me

Two problems with this frantic "The story wasn't ready" statement are 1) When a story isn't ready, you know it days, sometimes weeks in advance, not hours and 2) Bari Weiss' idea of how "to do more" has already been made public, and it was to call Stephen Miller. In short, she's lying.

I'm not gonna lie and say I followed all of this, but I love that it exists/happened

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

I like ‘em!

There are obviously vastly more important things, but this is patently illegal. Needs Congressional approval. (Wouldn't hold my breathe.)

Most major cities in the world now have at least some driverless trains, which have proven to be more efficient and safe. (Which isn't to say NYC, the world's largest 24-hour system, should do the same, just providing some context.)

If you live in NYC and have a school-age kid, there's a 162% chance they are currently sick

This looks so much better and if it can even cut fare-beating in half, it'll pay for itself.

It's hard to overstate what huge news this is. States with right-to-die laws only apply those laws to citizens of those states, so it's not like a New Yorker could drive up to Vermont or over to N.J. All U.S. laws are overly restrictive, imo, but this is a step in the right direction. (Gift link)

This is true about all kinds of art (and craft, for that matter), including writing

To folks who have studied world history, they would know that Ahmed el Ahmed risking his life to save Jewish people is not the exception, but the norm. Muslims and Jews have long been allies against injustice. Remember this history. Here I provide the receipts: www.qasimrashid.com/p/debunking-...

“You’ve heard of ‘chicken under a brick,’” my server said. “Well, this is chicken cooked under a marble slab.” “Is the chicken actually cooked under a marble slab?” I asked. “No.”

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

I had a hard time putting my finger on it, but this, 100%

Truly unhinged. Wait for the "I haven't seen that" responses from GOP leaders.

It’s amazing at how directly you can track how things are going for Trump with how he speaks to and treats reporters

Before AI, I never heard writers talk about "refining" our work. We edited, we polished. I don't recall "refining" being a thing until AI decided it was a good euphemism for "edit" so as not to hurt people's feelings. Nothing needs to be edited or improved in AI land, only "refined," like a jewel.

I know it’s already been pointed out but this peace prize looks like human hands clawing at a disinterested earth

I wrote this earlier this year and I still hope it can be of use! www.eater.com/24364171/ice...

“The risk of ‘infection throughout your early stage of life, and probably throughout most of your childhood, is extremely low,’” one of the panelists said. Reality: before the recommendation (not mandate), 20,000+ babies were infected annually. Most cases lead to liver disease.

Absolute legend

Elliott Erwitt, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. New York City, USA. 1988.

I recently told my 13 yr old daughter I don’t want her watching Euphoria (I rarely say stuff is off-limits). She responded: “I don’t think *you* should be watching Euphoria.” Touché!

Some of Manhattan's most iconic spots would be submerged, including parts of Chinatown, SoHo and the financial district. Several feet of water would pool in the theater district and areas near MSG. In the Bronx, Yankee Stadium would be nearly surrounded by water, up to 11 feet in places.

This is genius

The person with the most demanding job in the world should not be so old they get fatigued after a few hours. (It's been almost nine years since we had a president under 70.)

Sign at the US Military Academy at West Point:

One of the best, a sordid tale, directed by, of all people, an old-school British dude who also did “The Man in the White Suit.” With the best cinematography by legend James Wong Howe.

Slightly invented, this gets VERY dirty

I could eat this with a spoon.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

NEW: Federal agents busted into an Elmhurst apartment early last Thursday morning and pointed guns at a woman and her four children, according to video and an account from the family.

Love it

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

This is targeted and purposeful, not a fluke. As the article says, it’s based on a decades-old, long unenforced deportation order.

Let me just say: oof. In a few ways.

Who could have possibly seen it coming from someone who had never worked on a criminal case
