1. There are two boroughs named Queens, one of which is in Brooklyn, which is actually in Queens. 2. The Bronx is in Staten Island. 3. Park Slope is in Manhattan 2, most of which it occupies. 4. Manhattan 1 is in the Bronx. Fun facts about NYC, which is actually located in Syracuse.

1. They're both factually based and have been mostly accurately reported by journalists far smarter and more skilled than he is. 2. They both agitate him because they touch on sins of which he himself is guilty. For once in his life, Matt Taibbi is right about something!

A lot of my fellow men claim they oppose sexual violence against women but argue the #MeToo movement went too far. That's wrong. It's very obvious it didn't go far enough.

Not so sure the White House is going to be too happy with this ratio over at the other place

This is how you tie the arguments focusing on pocketbook issues and the arguments focusing on Trump's corruption, criminality, and moral turpitude together. Buttigieg is so good at this.

Megyn Kelly really did the "ackchyually it's called ephebophilia" thing. In defense of a man who famously demeaned her in public on the basis of her gender. It's hard for me to articulate the extent of the lack of respect I have for her. Just a pathetic invertebrate excuse for a human being.

ICE are thug trash.

This is the cover of the world's worst Christmas-themed rap album.

Open AI needs to be held accountable for this.

It's a general rule of business that if you genuinely have a truly awesome product or service to offer with a business model to profit off of it you don't need to scold investors to get them to back you.

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

It's a good thing I don't have to work late tonight because I wouldn't want to get in trouble for looking at porn on the office computer.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Worst night for Virginia Republicans since 1860.

I can hear the pundits on Fox News on my MAGA neighbor's TV saying these election results aren't necessarily a repudiation of Trump. Let me assure you as a Virginia voter that isn't true for me. I like Abigail Spanberger a lot, but my vote for her was very much also a middle finger to Trump.

D+26 for Loudoun is what would be needed for blowout margins statewide. Spanberger and Hashmi look like they'll win handily and I'm feeling increasingly optimistic about Jones as well.

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

All-time heartbreaking sports loss for the Blue Jays. The Dodgers are a great team on the field but are terrible for the sport. All the delayed salary shenanigans and such make them very hard to be happy for. The next collective bargaining negotiations have to outlaw their approach.

This man is not tough. He is a pathetic, sniveling little worm, and he responds to even the slightest amount of pushback with exactly as much fortitude as you'd expect from one.

Republicans nuking the filibuster will probably work out poorly for them in the long run since its main function is shielding them from the consequences of implementing their own unpopular ideas.

Is "aged like milk" even the right phrase for this? The ostensible publication date of this article is two weeks from now and it's already embarrassingly out of date.

The government of Ontario after Trump imposed additional tariffs on Canada because they hurt his feelings by buying that World Series ad that quoted Ronald Reagan saying protectionism is bad:

Alaska is idiosyncratic and notoriously hard to poll, and this far out any result is suggestive at best, but Dems should not sleep on this race as a senate pickup opportunity. Peltola is a strong candidate who's won statewide before and as a heavy federal spending state Project 2025 hits them hard.

I travel for the experience and only take the photos to remind me of the experience. This app has less than negative appeal to me.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

I think this is Trump's way of admitting that the rumors that he can't stop shitting himself are true.

Share it around whoooooo!

Women don't like the vehicle.

Proper names: "Passyunk", "Schuylkill", "Bala Cynwyd", and many more. We have many unusual place names, from a wide array of source languages. Common noun: any word for an oblong cylindrical sandwich other than "hoagie".

We should drop Stephen Miller off in the hood and time how long it takes him to shit himself. My guess is 15 seconds, tops.

Remember, these people are completely venal as well as stupid and evil.

Some douche just blazed right through the intersection in front of me in spite of the "stop for pedestrians" light being on and of course he was driving a Tesla with vanity plates.

This clip needs to go mega-viral.

Here's an idea: let's find someone knowledgeable and qualified. We have more than enough loudmouth know-it-all celebrities in politics already.

An excellent thread punctuated by a key insight: one of the most important things a leader can do in a moment like this is calm the waters. The man in the White House does the opposite of that.

I didn’t think “he was a bad person but in a decent and stable society we don’t murder people for being bad” was a hard line to walk but it does seem there’s plenty of people falling off either side of it

Kash Patel and Dan Bongino leading an FBI manhunt in the heart of Mormonland sounds like the setup for a Coen Brothers movie

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

I'm sick after seeing the video of Charlie Kirk being shot. Violence against civilians is never okay. Political violence — no matter who is hurt — will always beget worse political violence. And it has no place in our country.

A day like today always helps sort out the decent human beings from the assholes.

I'd wager that Charlie Kirk never had a single kind thing to say about Zohran Mamdani, and yet Mamdani has the decency and moral vision to abhor his death and recognize the dark reality it represents. This is the kind of leadership we need.

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind. No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

In this scary moment, it matters for each of us to affirm that political violence is wrong and will destroy our democracy.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Absolutely awful. Political violence is inexcusable regardless of the target.

Trying to imagine Gandhi or John Lewis or Lech Walesa complaining that they were too tired to protest and laughing at the idea. Nobody ever said defending democracy would never take work. Suck it up.
