The NYPD closed streets between 34th and 28th to both car *and foot traffic* meaning people were packed into big slow-moving lines on sidewalks for absolutely no reason

New York is only good because of people who want to be here

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

HISTORY.

1,000 New Yorkers won our lottery for affordable tickets to the World Cup. Today, we celebrated in the stands for the first NY/NJ game of the tournament. The beautiful game belongs to everyone.

This oral history of Steven Spielberg's movies by @bilgeebiri.bsky.social is the kind of treat we almost never get in deadline journalism--wide, deep, and illuminating. Let yourself enjoy one section at a time--or just devour the whole thing. www.vulture.com/article/oral...

After 18 years, the infamous mass-surveillance authority knows as Section 702 may die tonight. If it does, we won’t know if the surveillance agencies will actually respect the outcome of the democratic process. And Tom Cotton is suggesting an end-run around it.

All Taylor Swift songs are about the danger of dating someone with a good memory

Seeing a lot of pissing and moaning about Elon on here and I guess my question is who's going to build the space-based AI data centers that we need so urgently if not him? Do you expect someone with less money than this to bankroll and promote all those race riots? Come on now.

Nobody benefits more from the existence of a trillionaire than billionaires, who can now point to someone more grotesque than them.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

Remember how mad all these guys were about the 1619 Project

wow, this is just the worst!

that’s right

It’s official: the rooftop of the David Dinkins Municipal Building is now open — and free for all New Yorkers and visitors alike. Come one, come all!

And here we go. Already Ive been tricked into sending my penis to three of these so called "Group chats". I now have no choice but to shut down my alt where I pretend to be a 36 yr old Sex Worker from Brooklyn, offering my calloused, world weary perspective interspersed with moments of gentle warmth

Today I'm resharing the essay I wrote last year on Paul Reubens and his life in the closet. I hope you'll find it interesting but please at least take a moment to look at the art, which was created for the piece by a true gay trailblazer, Duane Michals. > www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/t...

Rikers is an abomination, part I’ve lost count

Not good

I just can't believe the party whose last three presidents invaded multiple sovereign nations and financed fascist dictatorships all over the world would be so reckless

This is what the U.S. calls a “proportionate” response to the downing of an Apache helicopter: destroying reservoirs that leave 20,000 people without water. “Staying below the threshold of escalation” yields not deescalation, let alone peace, but atrocities like this.

Just a disgusting, inhuman way to talk about war. We must never get used to this

As an undecided voter I support the prosecution of Stephen Miller for crimes against humanity and look forward to supporting a 2028 Democratic primary candidate who prioritizes that.

James Dolan and Donald Trump are both the ultimate epitome of the modern GOP, which is, above all else, the party of the boss' son.

SPEECHLESS. LFGK

When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

one wonders whether the writers of the Bible might not have been on to something when they said that the love of money is the root of every kind of evil

I know every country has people like this in it, but I feel like we really excel in producing malignant narcissists who believe fully insane stuff, repeatedly violate the law, and are permitted to keep doing it. This man is on a mission to give America diarrhea. www.propublica.org/article/mark...

Literally all the referees, including the American ones, should boycott. But nobody will because most people excuse racism unless it's happening to them personally.

The law is salvageable, though, if these people face punishment. They dragged my family through hell despite a jury of our peers saying repeatedly they wouldn't indict protesters. A perversion of justice like this needs to be met with real justice for the prosecutors who broke the law.

The idea that this just happened to the Broadview 6 — forcing grand juries to indict by cajoling them in an elevator, vouching to the grand jury, and telling "no" votes to leave if they don't want to indict — is nuts. It's probably happening everywhere. And it means the law as we know it is dead.

I don't think I've ever seen Classical Theatre of Harlem advertising in the subway. I'm so happy to see this on the A train.

None of us has to like this state of affairs, but it is where we're at right now as a country, and wasting your time and energy addressing election denialism to conservatives actually obscures the core issue that these people don't think we're all entitled to participate in democracy

I'm not a businessman, so I may be missing the obvious answer, but how is "we should destroy everything and poison our customers" a smart long-term financial strategy? How did this become the plan of 99% of companies?
