The mainstream media continues to be absolute fucking willfully ignorant useless trash when it comes to internet culture and as a result is stoking partisan terror.

NEW: Alex Weatherhead had been working at Asheville's Wicked Weed for two years to the day when he was pulled off the brewhouse floor and canned by an HR person over Zoom for posts on his personal Facebook page that he was told "celebrat[ed] violence" in violation of A-B's social-media policy.

“Unquestioned front-runner?” Blow me over with a feather!

Why should a person on a bike get a criminal summons for traveling 16 mph, while the driver of a 5,000 pound SUV doesn't even receive a ticket for speeding at 35 mph? Mayor Adams continues his war on biking with this backward rule — despite >90% of public comments opposing it.

"New York requires a quarter-inch metal-bar lattice for office drop-ceilings... These only-in-New-York systems are robust and pricey, and it’s not clear whether the rest of the country’s office drones have a problem with ceilings collapsing on their cubicles." www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/the...

Ridiculous and awful

Try to wrap your head around this one. Orwellian beyond measure.

The most fragile ego ever

Putting the “fun” in funeral AND fungi

Someone on Threads called Dennis Quaid “TEMU Kevin Costner”. Correct

see how settled science suddenly gets turned into something unclear as soon as conservatives make it a political issue? this has happened on dozens of issues.

We’d have heard about it for a month if Joe Biden broke an escalator at the UN

Truly extraordinary that Jimmy Kimmel confirmed that Jabba the Hutt fucking is canon

Like smoking

At least it’s a win to see so many people posting “I didn’t realize my TV stations were owned by a deadass fascist company in bed with the president” small but important steps

Weird how “we should blow up the UN” isn’t considered encouraging political violence. 🤔

lmao

This unfairly steals so much attention from "Lincoln In A North Face Coat" down the hall

The City Council is expected later this week to approve the "Just Home" plan to build a housing complex in the Bronx for ex-inmates with serious health issues, bucking a last-ditch effort from Mayor Adams’ administration to block the project. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/23/n...

I put on a light HEATTECH base layer under a light bike jersey for tonight’s bike ride. Didn’t want to catch a chill. It’s fucking 77 degrees right now. Already sweating to death, that base layer came right off

Haven't seen this noted in major media yet but the Apple+ app seems to confirm what they're saying: 9to5mac.com/2025/09/23/a...

We need some UN investigators here, stat

The other co-host is George RR Martin, who is unveiling THE WINDS OF WINTER

Just had a really wonderful and polite chat with Isaac Chotiner. He is such a good guy, letting me just go on and on, slowly letting me let out enough verbal rope to tie my own noose.

i believe this is called "having the megajuice"

Today we celebrate the true Rapture, one of the most successful dance tracks of all time and one of the few internationally successful dance/remix tracks of the last three decades to originate from New York City (Nadia Ali from Queens)

Tsk-tsk bbbprograms.org/media/newsro...

Happy Day to all who celebrate. youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g?...

My mom took Tylenol when she was pregnant and I grew up to be able to read and enjoy this thread

I'm not watching and I figured this would be the direction of things...

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

I hope Jack Citarelli loses by 90 points

Consistent with what I heard from others in the Biden White House. He couldn’t recognize Palestinians as human beings on par with Israelis.

IT IS TIME.

I hear getting pissed-on in a Russian hotel room gives you autism

Need Jimmy Kimmel in a Soviet political poster. The comrades are winning ✊

I’ve been on his show. I’ve had conversations with him. He’s simply drifted towards apologia for the fascists, like so many, through constant and repeated exposure. Things he used to know were obviously repugnant now seem normal, even acceptable. Many such cases. Still on Twitter, never on here.

Amazing that the line-to-cross for a lot of rich people was not the brutalization of immigrants or trans people but an availability issue with Tylenol

I believe this is something which goes against their affiliate agreements that could get them tagged up in court for hundreds of millions in damages. Bold move Cotton

Streisand Effect 101

Impunity for Eric Adams has implications far beyond New York City @noahshachtman.bsky.social argues in this dense and comprehensive accounting. Less explicit, but equally important: local news outlets (and the campaign finance board) are crucial elements of the remaining accountability system.

I am going to make you mad with this post There was a really dank bar called The Cellar on 14th Street that turned into The Crocodile Lounge (as most people know it), a slightly nicer but still dank dive with free pizzas with each pint

Absolutely heinous news

WE FUCKIN DID IT

Lmao just learned I could have gotten tickets to Chappell Roan if the email had not been titled “AXS Ticketing - Great News! You have just been invited to purchase…”

“They reconnected in 2016 while protesting a homeless shelter” aw, isn’t that sweet 😚 The fact that Phil Wong is running as a Democrat is a failure of Queens Democratic Party leadership. But that’s how reactionary MAGA cranks gain power here, and it works.

Atlantic writer complains that Democratic elected officials aren’t willing enough to throw trans people under the bus: apple.news/AoI960ZLxRhW...

Damn! Sorry we hurt the Nazis' feelings!
