The Queens Daily Eagle remains undefeated.

on the one hand I should absolutely put my phone down but on the other hand what if the forces attacking democracy operate on weeping angels logic

I'm sorry, but I need you to see this rock that looks like a sandwich that I just found on Instagram.

This is a defensive, 10-post thread from an NYT boss, and the only thing it truly illuminates is the need for the Times to bring an independent journalist back into the role of public editor.

Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

A fact that barely feels real to even ME is "THE JETSONS" was only on TV originally for 6 months in 1962, a bomb that nobody watched 😳 The reruns became IMMORTAL in kid-cartoon "package deal" syndication with the other Hanna-Barberra titles (it was originally a prime-time show)... 1/2

older guy in front of me at grocery store dripping sweat in a tank top with a USMC tattoo just bought a head of lettuce and 4 half price bottles of vodka with an amex black card and his lock screen was a picture of the muppet Beaker

Recent rulings say that VPPA PII is limited to “info that would allow an ordinary person to identify ... video-watching habits, but not info that only a sophisticated tech company could use to do so.” VPPA is very antiquated but, that's a bad/concerning standard. www.zwillgen.com/litigation/v...

Love the PDX energy at last night’s Thorns game

Same, symbol of America, same

@zebpalmer.com talking to a teacher yesterday in Adams County, she thinks she’ll have to move if HB93 passes because it’ll cut a ton of her funding. Really sad stuff.
