my sources are telling me that the song of the fall is …by god, this can’t be right. it’s, once again, deacon blues by steely dan

twelve hungry men

Stunned onlookers were overheard asking “Did we die? Is this Hell?"

"Yes, our new Coca-Cola Christmas AI slop looks like shit and made everyone mad, but at least it saved us no money."

"Now that Mamdani has won with a historic share of the vote, it is time for him to ignore the people who elected him and appeal to me, a guy who does not live in New York and hates him."

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

feeling a little under the weather, so time for some comfort viewing. nw: Sneakers

feeling sorry for all the millionaires and billionaires who didn’t get to see this perfect NYC sunset because they fled the city forever today. 😞

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

I think Jones' joke was disqualifying and he should have dropped out, but I've been consistent on thinking politicians shouldn't joke about violence. Where does the GOP get off saying he crossed a line? It's not whataboutism to ask why character should matter for Democrats but not for Republicans.

when you win your election AND you don't have to talk to cuomo

good morning from the united states of denmark

Wow. In another huge upset, Mesmero, the Master of Mentalism, has been elected mayor of Chicago. Political pundits are shocked - he’s a first-time candidate who barely spent anything on advertising, and there wasn’t even an election scheduled for today

Never let them say you can’t be a mensch AND a hater

RESULT: Soren Stevenson is elected to the Minneapolis City Council in the Eighth Ward. Stevenson lost an eye during a 2020 BLM protest after he was shot by police with a foam projectile.

underrated subplot here has been watching one of the big iraq war guys playing Dear Abby to schumer’s “Help! My Voters Are Uncomfortable With War Crimes!” era.

there is a zohran mamdani in every city.

"The audacity of telling ME that i'm a bad Catholic. Who does this Pope guy think he is"

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

Indiewire says Predator: Badlands is like ..."a live action Scavengers Reign"?!?!

Seems to me it's only a "serious political problem" if you choose to see the left as opponents instead of key partners in a big tent that has room for New York socialists, Nebraska moderates and lots of folks in between.

ratio with this wonderful mixed stop motion/2D animated Christmas ad.

if i’m at Apple TV, i’ve got an 8-episode pitch on “The Aloof Wife” on Tim Cook’s desk by EOD.

There is an elderly plumber who is regularly at the coffeeshop I frequent, almost always sitting down with a different Trump voter, trying to explain how his policies are ruining their lives. Ezra Klein, your dream is alive in Red Hook.

Beautiful: “The wheel of time will crush us all in its path, and the evil gods we’ve created cannot be killed. Merry Christmas!”

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

that’s what it’s all about brother

if you worked for teen vogue, in any capacity, i want you to know that your work inspired me and made a difference in the world. it really did.

the american version of The Crown should just be Wallace Shawn through the ages.

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

Conservatives spent the last few decades conjuring up a bogeyman of a communist takeover of the US government that would mean the incarceration of Christians and making practicing Christianity illegal, only to finally create their own version of such a bizarre fantasy.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

where are my thanksgiving enjoyers

Good morning. I don't know who did this, but I love you.

folks are gonna be mad about this but i think she makes some points here.

there is a wallace shawn for every generation. for millennials, it's princess bride. for gen x, my dinner with andre. apparently for for gen z it's dr sturgis. wallace shawn is who he needs to be for all of us because, ultimately, he is in all of us, and each of us is, in our own way, wallace shawn.

The GOP establishment freaking out about Tucker and Fuentes nazifying their party like it’s a plot twist in a show the rest of us finished years ago.

variety going with this for the share quote is insidious

Moving on from Kavanaugh Stops to Kavanaugh Shootings.

heading into a screening for a movie multiple friends from the film fest circuit texted me to tell me i’m gonna love. we’ll see.
