snapping my fingers for ... Ben Affleck being quoted in today's @wsj.com CMO Today????

you guys did not oversell this story holy fuck

during the Scream 7 press junket, someone should ask why Melissa Barrera isn't in the movie. and by someone I mean everyone.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

If you want to meaningfully resist fascism, you need to make peace with inconveniencing yourself and being inconvenienced by others. Fascism relies on you privileging your individual comforts over others' basic safety.

doing what god intended* on this MLK Jr. day *working for private equity

at this point i am relieved, if anything, that "the police" have not been deployed to "fight ICE" because they will simply start maiming and killing protestors, together

a rare moment of Philly righteousness.

literally everyone: left wing needs prominent voices to elevate them bc we dont have billionaire backers gavin newsom: im going to interview this pepe the frog ai chatbot trained on the breitbart comment section about it

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

everything is bad, but it is rad to work with & for the people you admire the most. www.hugeinc.com/makers/josh-...

At the NYC protest. Powerful and tough.

Anyway it would be cool if the left was willing to organize around women’s liberation, because the right is definitely organizing around misogynist contempt.

if only there had been a movement and momentum several years ago to downsize police budgets, clear out the white supremacists and de-militarize local law enforcement

This of course explains much about the minimisation and normalisation of covid harms:

Child pornography manufacturer and presidential adviser Elon Musk has signed off on the ICE murder

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

I am having a hard time driving shareholder value today since ICE executed a woman in Minneapolis.

“Covid is over” might be the biggest lie sold to us in a staggering decade of lies

I'm doing it. I'm starting Heated Rivalry for the first time.

I thoroughly resent the fact that the last ten years have been wasted on Donald Trump rather than building this vision of America.

How soon can we get Mamdani to pry Newsmax out of the fucking taxi cabs? It's a goddamn humiliation that tourists land at our airports, can't take mass transit into the city, and then have propaganda and lies blasted at them from state-controlled channels.

the reason they don’t bother to manufacture the consent beforehand is that everyone just sort of does it for them post-facto now

oh my. I just Shazam'd a Benson Boone song. irrelevance comes for each of us.

forever the Mary-Kate to my Ashley. 🤎✊

so impeachment is just ... not on the table, eh?

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

THANK YOU, TIM. I'M READY, TOO. playbill.com/article/my-l...

Do people know that there are almost 1 million Muslims in NYC? Where are the stories about how Muslims are feeling about the first Muslim Mayor in NYC?

Lock them in a death chamber unless they can solve these riddles three, as part of their daily commute

This current protein craze is ridiculous. No, I don’t want protein in my coffee. Thank you.

starting in six weeks or so, you will hear right wing and centrist commentators on cable news, podcasts etc start to refer to Mamdani as if it's obvious that he's failed, extremely unpopular etc. its very important in order for their plot to succeed that any left wing pol be discredited

🎭 my favorite theater of 2025: -Eureka Day @ MTC -no no no please no god no, nevermind i’m fine @ HERE Arts Center -Liberation @ Roundabout Theatre -John Proctor is the Villain on Broadway -Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha @ The Public -ta-da! @ Greenwich House -Oratorio for Living Things @ Signature Theatre

This, too, is America to me.

sliwa correctly understanding that mamdani ran a very traditional campaign and thus surpassing the analytical ability of 80% if people who comment on politics for a living

One of the reasons I was on board with Mamdani from very early on was that he seemed to me, more than any other candidate, to be prepared to offer a roadmap for popular and institutional resistance to Trumpism on the municipal level. Today is validating my optimism.

a little over a year ago, people were freaked out because their grocery bills were more expensive, and disgusted that there was a genocide happening, basically being live broadcast, that the people in power weren't preventing, and dudes took the election result to mean everyone loves saying slurs

NYCers have earned a day to just feel hopeful and happy. Nobody's in denial about political reality, and tomorrow will be here soon enough, but an inauguration is a celebration and an articulation of a vision, and it's okay to let yourself give in to the joy of aspiration.

Mamdani arrives to his mayoral inauguration at City Hall in a motorcade of NYC taxi cabs—workers he went on hunger strike with in 2021.

one last time, for the road

The New York Times should just rebrand itself as the Upper East Side Co-op Bulletin and Harvard Alumni Rumor Mill.

took in a play while seated across from Leslie Bibb & Sam Rockwell last week

such a lovely listen. love Caleb's chemistry with Handsome Kumail.

In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.
