If the US wasn't a two party system, Trump would not be President with sweeping king like powers.

Well, I suppose it was inevitable once we elected a tacky new York city developer that he'd turn the White House into one of his tacky projects

Wonder if Comey thought, "Maybe I shouldn't have brought up her emails two weeks before the 2016 election..."

The problem here is that Italy is split into various quadrants.

Promise to end all wars - rename the Department of Defense to War Champion free speech - bully those they disagree with and ban foreigners whose speech they don't like Promise to fix the economy - break it in entirely preventable ways for years to come See a pattern yet?

I guess there are countries who prosecute ex Presidents who tried to overturn elections they lost.

Finally reading "The Way of Kings" by @brandonsanderson.com, WOW, what an amazing world and stories

The problem with this country is that too many of its citizens don't want to be in a Democracy. They want their guy to be King.

This is terrible. Don't give up, though. We can get rid of this scourge on our Democracy. Stay involved in local politics, vote, go put and protest, take care of each other.

My wife is not chronically online like me (fine, I am addicted to the devil screen in my pocket), but she still has notifications on.... how does she stay sane?

If I ran the party that lost not once, but TWICE, to Donald Trump, I would see Zhoran Mamdani as a gift from the heavens. A candidate who speaks to the moment, galvanized a depressed electorate, and WON. Sadly, the party that lost twice to Donald Trump is run by losers, it seems.

Texas in 2025.

I'm curious, if I were a major media organization I would run a survey of New Yorkers asking to rank their Top 10 things that make New York an amazing city and see where "rich people" ranks...

Was having lunch with colleagues yesterday and a much younger colleague (let's say born this century) was talking about how he and his male friends cried at 13 watching "Warrior" with Tom Hardy. Another geriatric millennial man and I looked at each other and said "that's amazing progress for men"

The capitulation of business leaders to this administration is a stain on this country's history.

Something we should address as a society is accepting personal inconveniences for the greater good. This seems to me to be the core of most issues we're facing that are blocking a lot of people from living much better lives.

What is the point of deporting someone not to their country of origin but somewhere hundreds of miles away if not cruelty?

One of the many issues with how Social Media has shaped how people behave is the addiction to dopamine from replies, any kind, good or bad. We all know it's much easier to get replies if we say something ludicrous. Problem is, you eventually end up believing your own bs...

All the attacks to Mamdani from cogs in the political machine (that includes a certain newspaper based in New York) would be worrying if you didn't stop to read people's reactions to them. The overwhelming majority are excited for new ideas, for someone who actually cares about them.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

How i imagine people who say "why read books when ChatGPT can summarize a 100 for you in one day" enjoy movies and TV shows.

Watching a large part of this country celebrate the unveiling of prison camps is terrifying

You two are amazing and we New Yorkers are lucky to have you in our corner!

YES.

Friendly reminder that just because your ancestors came here a long time ago, they were still immigrants just as those who are coming here now.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

And by minute 58, your heart will explode from having drank an inordinate amount of caffeine.

I love being a father. Fascism is bad. Protesting is good. Happy Father's day.

An empty chair should have beat Donald Trump. Yes, the Democrats made mistakes, and by God I hope they've learnt from them, but everything Trump and his goombas are doing was explicitly part of their program. How we bring a third of this country back from supporting this horror is the key

Andor season 2 is outstanding, and if you disagree you're clearly on the Empire's side

Outstanding headline.

Which idiot scheduled/agreed to all these meetings during lunch time?!? Me. I'm the idiot.

Making personal announcements on social media is a pinnacle of modern society. I'm excited to announce that I'm listening to The Strokes on my way to work. Will announce what's next soon!

Shitposting is the way!!

Letting my kids play with kinetic sand at the dining table right before breakfast was NOT a good idea. Follow me for more parenting lessons.

Do I need to text my friends "epic hang" after spending 8 hours with them? I don't, but I do, because that was an epic hang.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

If you do in fact want Covid boosters for yourself or anyone, you can submit public comment to the FDA here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

I hate basketball.

Screaming into a pillow at this loss. We had them.

It's quite something to see the President of the United states act like your Fox News Brainwashed uncle showing you "proof" that some crazy conspiracy theory is in fact true.

This is a pretty big deal, and a slightly puzzling one. But what I'm here to say is that Sam Altman might actually be an AI bot himself youtu.be/W09bIpc_3ms?...

Phew, great, GREAT result in the Presidential elections in Romania! We're living in dark times, these rare rays of light are vital.

One of the best sports books I've ever read. Read it.

We now live in a banana republic.

We're living through terrible times that could get a lot worse unless we all, and I mean all, stand up to this evil. All those involved will be remembered as the evil fucks they are.

Call me old fashioned but I'm not surprised that "dr. Pimple Popper" wasn't the key to success over HBO's amazing production...

I can't think of a more boring superhero than Superman.

Sure @nytimes.com, sure.
