He’s going to blow up the entire country to prevent the release of the Epstein files, isn’t he

Yes. It's more musical chairs than it is complex finance and economics. limited number of chairs, the rich sit down first, the poor sit down last. bsky.app/profile/floo...

Finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle last night. Game's pacing lagged in areas but then it ended with what amounted to a 20 minute uninterrupted conclusion to an Indiana Jones movie. Well worth the journey.

Losing my goddamned mind

The times article did not make any sense. Superintendent searches usually include a fair amount of due diligence.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Really - they're all just school shooters.

NEW: Monthly data just out shows NYC lost 4,500 jobs in August. The employment slowdown is real, nationally and locally.

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

based on those polls, he's going to need to start tapping into the 4th dimension.

Look at this bounty.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

wow

The irony here being Adams's Charter Revision Commission is putting forth a proposal to make what he did not possible.

Ghost of Yotei is a masterpiece. It ruled over my waking and sleeping moments for a week. There's so much love and attention poured into this game, so much artistry on display, so I tried to do the same with my review for @rollingstone.com. www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Basically, poverty dropped a bit at the end of the Trump admin because of anti-pandemic policies, and dropped a lot under Biden b/c of temporary policies like the Child Tax Credit. Biden tried and failed narrowly to extend those policies, and poverty predictably increased. Take that, Joe Biden!

The thing with ideologically driven shooters is… they make it abundantly clear exactly why they are doing it. That’s why they do it. There isn’t a lot of analysis that needs to be done. This vast class of “school shooters” are a scramble of ideologies and motivations.

The buck always stops with someone else.

Deleted my previous post. I’m an idiot. It’s Clair Obscura by a country mile. Things will get difficult Hades 2….

Another school shooter.

ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

"There are autisms, rather than just autism. The diversity in symptoms, the severity of symptoms and the range of biological contributors are simply too large to be reduced to one uniform disorder. The neurobiology is too complex for easy explanations." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...

If you're wondering why I keep saying I can't make it to other games right now, it's because I've been playing the hell out of Hades 2.

This is a picture of the cellphone cache they found in NYC and holy shit. All of those little chiclets in the rack cases are SIM cards; apparently the rig could send 30 million anonymous texts per minute

i’m not saying i’m going to miss him when he’s gone but i am saying i am going to miss the incredible content

I think this is one of the underlying reasons distrust in government is so high. Along with making the entire economy a casino.

There shall be peace in our time.

“Despite speculation in some reporting about SIM farm operation that suggests it was created by a foreign state such as Russia or China and used for espionage, it’s far more likely that the operation’s central focus was scams and other profit-motivated forms of cybercrime…”

It's ok to use words people understand. No matter the topic, no set of words is perfectly suited for every audience

new Big Apple Archbishop Daniel Flores here. seems like a significant upgrade:

Bishop Flores is @bpdflores.bsky.social

Wait I thought Milei's economic genius was supposed to solve everything and be a roadmap for the US?

TREATED AND 'STREETED': "The Big Apple’s $30-billion social safety net amounts to a badly frayed patchwork of systems that still cannot reliably get New Yorkers in psychiatric crisis from subway platforms to hospital beds, a Streetsblog investigation has found." - nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/23/t...

In the waning days of his longshot reelection campaign—and likely his tenure at City Hall—Mayor Eric Adams has suddenly embraced transphobia.

1. Force women to be pregnant and stay pregnant. 2. Torture pregnant women, so they lose those pregnancies, based on something Bobby Jr. heard from his chiropractor, because you want something to say on TV.

This one is inspired.

More important info incoming:

Scratch that he plays Jesus’s dad and FKA Twigs plays mother Mary.

Just learned that Nic Cage might be playing Jesus in a French movie based on the apocryphal “Infancy Gospel of Thomas.” Aka Teenjus youtu.be/ved5yZQTjo4?...

A key part of the 2006 Democratic wave was a strong anti-corruption message. Personally - this stuff pissed me off so much. Teachers get fined $1000s for using a gov computer to work a second job, but if you are a friend of the mayor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Corruption is sometimes described as a victimless crime, just skimming from a bottomless pool of government cash. The story of the [NYPD] under Mr. Adams should put that idea to rest" Great column on how SCOTUS's gutting of public corruption laws helped get us here www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Why won’t you stop weaponizing my sacks of illicit cash against me!

Guess this explains why he’s so tight with Eric Adams.
