I don’t think this is good messaging for a leader. Not with all these caveats about “I never agreed with her”. Virtually impossible for state electeds to disagree on all matters before the legislature. It’s dishonest pandering to the same audience she’s supposedly trying to chide. And it won’t work

The leadership of the @nytimes.com broadly agrees with Chris Rufo that the existence of "woke" students, professors, and institutions is an affront to society which needs to be dismantled by state coercion. This is, ironically, very obvious, but also politically incorrect to talk about in public.

I am now at my fourth venue and 3-4km walking (and in a different borough) since posting this

Feels like he was looking for the Rama Duwaji photoshoot and got lost

I wonder how Tom Coughlin would coach any current NFL team

I think the speed at which the dam breaks on fossil fuels is going to make people’s heads spin, the cost and deployment speed of solar is going to be really overwhelming really fast

Blarty Supreme

I’m walking down the street hurriedly (to a ramen joint) (that is closing due to a rent hike) and I heard some music in the air through my headphones and…

A beloved RVA figure killed by a driver in broad daylight is a tragedy made worse by how preventable it was. City leaders love touting Vision Zero, but dither on redesigning demonstrably dangerous roads out of incompetence, lack of urgency, fear of inconveniencing drivers, etc. This is the result.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Today is the Holy Feast Of Finding Out after going on a romp yesterday. Did I party too hard? I am ready to pack it in for the night right now. Feels like a glass of water isn’t going to cover it

It sounds obvious when you state it in plain words but you shouldn't be able to launder your heinous behavior toward humans with virtuous behavior toward rescue/endangered animals

This article is just wrong. Housing *isn't* a left-right issue! Nassau County reactionaries and Upper West Side liberals are equally NIMBY, even if they don't agree on anything else politically...

Does anyone have a routine in their day like "time to close all the weird tabs I opened yesterday"

I see everyone has the "he won a clean majority" part covered. I'm amused by the "non-Mamdani voters may be killed by this bloodthirsty barbarian" implication, especially alongside "Mamdani is a sweetie", "Cuomo has actually killed people", and "This is from USA Today of all sources"

this is really good, and serves as a warning about the kind of bad reporting the NYT is doing on free speech on college campuses, mostly because their editorial slant won’t allow them to acknowledge that a state crackdown on free speech is a bigger deal than college students protesting…anything

I would like to INCEPTION this to America before the end of 2026. Not even "shout it from the rooftops" but make everyone experience the taste of pickle-brined durian in their mouths if they try to quote a billionaire

A barely remarkable feat when you consider that it's more "3-35 Jets meltdown" but more than anything else I just don't want to hear from Those People anymore. Not all Pats fans, just Those People

Again, like all the other people replying in the various cardio threads… I’m not here to tell you that “cardio” or “zone 2” is optimal. I will just say that, irrespective of my belly weight, I’ve kept in amazing shape for 15 years in terms of pure energy, endurance and youthfulness living in zone 2

I don't think anyone needs an explanation as to the sense behind "buy physical media if you actually want to keep the media" but sometimes I do think it's an op by the people who liked burning CDs

They like conservatives who are destroying higher education and want to help them do it. Remember the Times repeated (4x!) false "reporting" that Harvard was about to cave to Trump's lawsuit?

the "Tracy Letts Letterboxd SHREK review" is sending me

That’s where the discipline of the craft comes into clearer focus frankly. Have had my feelings regularly challenged by the process of having to report

1997 is closer to 1969 than it is to today 🎉

When the NYTimes calls a recently deceased person "complicated"

This is what I meant w my NYPost take. This is how they cover Dems they don't like: Just pound him for anything and wreck his image. Stuff like de Blasio's chronic lateness became nationally famous (repeated by Dems!) bc the Post made it famous. But he didn't have shooters like Mamdani does.

This isn't a popular idea. This is an *elite* belief. There's no mass of voters who recoil from impeachment like this. Majorities wanted him convicted the last two times, and the same would easily poll >50% today. The handwringing about the sacred presidency is DC-driven, it's not voter-driven.

I’m just going to repost it

Spoilers for WEAPONS

THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE POP-TARTS CHOSE TO LIVE MAKES THE WHOLE THING WORSE SOMEHOW

There is so much happening here

Insane NY Post column suggesting that the new First Lady who is sad about leaving her longtime neighbors in a not fancy NYC neighborhood is an ungrateful brown woman

“Hey girl, do you like trains? Because that ass looks like two Bakken crude tankers being laid up at Selkirk”

The Republicans on the council believe they can use Mamdani as a punching bag to restrain his policy ambitions while boosting their own state/national profiles. I would love to see them keep trying this. It will not backfire on them. They will not accidentally stumble into promoting oppression

I cannot stop laughing. Mamdani is responsible for what the landlord charges after he left? Article sources are basically a list of Republican council members and all of them are *MAD*. Alas, being mad is not a terminal illness. Probably promotes aging tho

Doesn’t need context

These are STRONG and they should be

Sigh. I did not mean to poke the hive with this, and I am (seriously!) on vacation, so I have not read all the responses. But the little red circle tells me there are a lot, and like the man says on here, I've seen enough. So: as much of a response as I can cram into a few minutes:

Mods on holiday, time to post Hydrated Shrek

Not to mention, a freight rail operator is largely responsible for the rail service being curtailed & then eliminated. States need to eminent-domain these lines, they can't be shared with these vampire-like Class 1s anymore

for a good laugh, review all the top news stories from January and February

oh. no. not diplo

Transit's main competition is cars. If you raise fares from $2.50 to $3, you're still way more affordable than driving. But if you cut the bus from every 15 to every 20, you're screwed because cars have infinity frequency and 24 hr service span.

But that one white guy couldn’t get a job in Hollywood because woke!!!!

They get it. They just like him and want to help him rule over us like a king

THE CUT every six months:

1) we’ve had the productive capacity to produce food for every living person on this planet 2) we have the logistics to deliver these to every person on this planet 3) we have ideologies and philosophies to know that’s good That we don’t is a choice. And a moral failure.

That time of year again!
