If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

love this band

who called it Heated Rivalry and not Fuck Ice

fyi

this was the hardest alt text I've ever had to write

shoutout to the 2004 Bratz collectible card game for including all four genders

If you're building a startup in 2026, you are expected to work with the world's largest venture capital firm (which is not even really a VC firm), where one partner strangled my neighbor to death for being Black, and another actively sought Jeffrey Epstein's counsel for years. This is *normal*.

Already reposted the quoted post but just started cracking up all over again because I can’t believe we saw a wholesome example of this exact format in the wild

It's so weird how many Democrats hate this guy and what he stands for because he literally stands for families having what they need and also for having fun

Cancel Me, Daddy is one of the podcasts where I can confidently say I listen to every episode, and you should too!

Honestly though it’s incredibly hard to seem natural under all those lights, he really is talented and can pivot off the cuff. We shouldn’t discount it because it shows a path forward that we do have people trained for - we have an entire generation of content creators used to being normal on live.

the funniest thing about this is that there is some small and deeply racist group of people who look at this funny and wholesome exchange and are finding some reason to be horrified

I feel like I should add to this: I have mixed feelings about providing resources for guys and publishers who want to do better; because, yes, they should be out there; but also I kind of feel like I should be paid for it in the general spirit of reparations.

Here is a thing: There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To. (cont'd)

“But what do you want Democrats to do….” I don’t know stuff like this?

Given that Boch agreed to deliver on one of Mamdani's top 3 campaign promises within one week of his taking office, it would be political negligence for him to do anything other than endorse Hochul at this point.

After a lengthy appeals process and productive discussion with the Blue Sky safety team I will no loinger be sending George Thorogood lyrics to beautiful women on here via DM. Thank you all

Reporting from @themarkup.org and THE CITY exposed how the bot, touted by the Adams administration, repeatedly served up false and damaging information. www.thecity.nyc/2026/01/30/m...

Schumer's phone lines are open. Now is a great time to call him and tell him that his job as Senate Minority Leader is to represent his constituents, not to represent Israel. DC ☎️: (202) 224-6542 NYC ☎️: (212) 486-4430 bsky.app/profile/chim...

In addition to Signal, Fastmail seems to have been having issues all morning, so I'm more inclined to guess BGP than I would if it were just Signal.

amazing that Paterson coronated Gillibrand 17 years ago out of sheer spite, and we're still stuck with this woman who is doing literally nothing for her constituents, because NY is not a functioning democracy

Even more embarrassed by Columbia now.

Bill DeBlasio in 2014:

If Schumer wants this to be his job, he should resign as senator and go work as a lobbyist for AIPAC

Another thing Chuck Schumer fights for that has jack shit to do with his job of *representing our community*; There are people in our goddamn city who are going hungry! Our neighbors are afraid, and alone! They live in *this country*!

If Schumer wants this to be his job, he should resign as senator and go work as a lobbyist for AIPAC

what's weird about this is that ad networks were doing this 15+ years ago, and people widely understood it, but now people ascribe the same subjective experience to a degree of surveillance which would be both impractical and unnecessary

Sometimes you're just taking a stroll through the zone rouge, and you slip and fall, and you end up with a bomb in your butt. These sorts of things happen in France!

in Nick's defense, it's hard to write a convincing story using only your left hand

“bari weiss’s wife in the epstein files” is simply too perfect

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis. If not, why not?

the feeling when Stuff Happens™ and you feel the immediate urge to text a specific person to talk about it, before you remember they died years ago 😭

I haven't read this book yet, but I'm excited to because it looks cool, AND it also cites my work!

keep your politics out of my yacht rock

Why does Bruce Springsteen have to weigh in on POLITICS? 🙄 Hey Bruce, lay off the political stuff and stick to singing feel-good, patriotic songs, like "American Skin" and "Youngstown" and "Born in the USA"! 🇺🇸
