i used the word “ne’er-do-wells” in normal conversation this week and it immediately made me laugh so hard i cried.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

will they write an equivalent "James Talarico attacked Ken Paxton for releasing a child rapist, putting release of pedophiles front and center in the race" piece or do they only amplify GOP attacks for some reason?

Paying for parking at a hospital really ties the whole American healthcare experience together.

Playboy created a Bluesky account and their first post is to complain about AI. They already understand the Bluesky userbase better than the bluesky devs

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

Portland bar and club managers talk about "It" happening like medieval Europeans talked about Prester John. Times are bleak now, lads, but one elderly man's failing organs are all that stand between us and 150 million Americans launching a drinking binge.
