This is pure simp shit. “We will break the rules for Trump” after being ferociously opposed to any other rule breaking is the cum gargling of urban management

“We killed someone. Turns out they did nothing wrong. But we are allowed to do this. Also his name was Hispanic and there are so many Hispanic criminals that it’s simply not wrong for a law enforcement agency to shoot someone they suspect of being with illegal Hispanics”

So I just won money in the World Series Of Poker after investing a share in staking someone who finished in-the-money It’ll be a small amount but I’ll take it

if you want to fight back against these forces in your personal media diet, try as much as you can to visit, share and support your favorite and beloved publishers DIRECTLY (sign up for a newsletter, visit their homepage, etc.) and financially support them if you can

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

i don't care who you are, getting dragged on bluesky and then running to twitter to post about it is bitchmade behavior

God these articles talking about people’s current desperate problems due to vast systemic failures that refuse to acknowledge that’s what it is…

It was 100% Ryan's intention. No question about it.

Gritty

Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.

this is the kind of shit that used to send me spiraling about my career prospects but you know what? I started a magazine about it instead. @darkertimes.bsky.social, where everything we publish is AI-free and actually edited!

all opposition to bike lanes is essentially this. if you're an otherwise left/liberal person who becomes a screaming NIMBY whenever a street redesign is proposed, you're allying yourself with MAGA.

Important Minnesota News: NEW STATE FAIR FOODS JUST ANNOUNCED Lots of amazing stuff on here but the Birria Crunch Bombs might be top of my list

platner defender (slur)

And there will be 10 students and all of them will be quoted by NYT at least 2x a month about quotidian things. Should women have jobs? Should bike lanes exist? Should non-criminal immigrants be left in peace? Let’s ask one of the ten right-wing course grads

A city that has leading ped intervals and 2 way bikeways should NOT allow right turn on red for drivers. RTOR decreases the safety benefits of the ped interval and 2 way bikeways bc IME drivers *cannot* be trusted to look for bikes & peds when they’re checking for car traffic to turn.

Construction companies should not be able to (or, worse, be *required to*) hire their own inspectors, and it's weird that I should have to say that. It's a moral hazard. This work should be done by municipal FTEs or, worst case, contractors hired by the municipalities.

Good rundown of how single-stair reform in Connecticut was killed by the fire service: "The protracted set of approvals and reviews that single-stair reform was subjected to presented several points of potential failure, some of which lacked transparency." rpa.org/news/lab/sin...

Regional stormwater management plans are a good idea, but I am nervous about the involvement of the Watershed Institute in the development of the plan for the Princeton NJ region. The Watershed Institute has shown severe anti-development tendencies, bordering on NIMBYism. patch.com/new-jersey/p...

no one is paying any attention to what djt is doing to majority black cities like Memphis www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

::Liza Minelli closing number:: DEMS IN DIS AHHH RAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Tell em Alvin still doin it

RIP NYT pitchbot. how do you satirize this?

this is gonna end with Zohran sitting us all down and making us all watch Gangs of New York together and frankly it’s what we deserve

No one ever had to go this hard, but Bonnie Tyler became a legend doing it. youtu.be/bWcASV2sey0?...

RIP Bonnie Tyler. Here’s something I wrote a while back about “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and my kiddos and music as a messenger of time: www.memoirmixtapes.com/song-recs/to...

I will take back the rude things I’ve said, and come up with different, equally as rude things because you had a guy named Count Binface running yet again

Assault on an airplane is “messy” now?

You could teach an entire class on the socio-legal construction of whiteness from this article, if such classes hadn't been effectively outlawed in much of the country.

anyway all that Jim Steinman stuff is not camp, it's melodrama we're just embarrassed by it - it's like how Billy Joel writes showtunes for people who would never say they like showtunes

I mean it’s about fucking time to give Betty Gilpin an Emmy, JFC

oh, man, this is great. finally a Senate candidate without a bunch of skeletons in his closet. hear he did really well with the big storm a couple years back

Thank god someone as callous and dishonest as Graham Platner in his dropout announcement won’t be in office

A 15-year study of bike lanes shows that they have no negative impact on business. Neighborhoods that embraced bike lanes showed a measurable increase in foot traffic. momentummag.com/do-bike-lane...

Well, with that attitude…

The Spoon concert that I’m listening to from outside the venue is better than 20 concerts I attended in the venue

Ryan Grim can lick my taint

“His exit leaves Democrats scrambling” is just an A+ push alert. Did Trump raping teenagers leave the Republicans in disarray?

"A spokesman for the mayor’s office said the city has committed nearly $900 million in capital and expense funding toward the plan over the next five fiscal years."

I could not be less surprised that Ryan Grim is pushing this. Let it go, man. Your guy is a rapist. He’s not going to win. And this shit is a disgrace to any good work Drop Site has ever done.

ICE murdered another person.

This woman has been the subject of three NYT pieces in 2025-26

There’s something painfully personal about being blocked by a person who you’ve never interacted with, just someone who is tagged in posts from someone (following for influencer/topical reasons) who you’ve also barely interacted with. (On another platform)
