Unacceptable.

I'm so old.

Explaincars Drama: we know the middle seat is bad and you have to make the most of the situation but

this is the agency tasked with distributing security grants to minority religious faiths' institutions

Air to Ground Message: DECENTLY LARGE BIRD STRIKE OUT OF LGA. EVERYTHING INDICATING NORMAL. WILL WRITEUP IN BHM. I HAVE FEATHERS IN MY WIPER Area: Philadelphia, PA, USA Type: Bombardier CRJ900 A: #a03fbfb3059 F: #f5e5768865b

Right-wing nationalist antisemitism is not just hatred of the Jew qua Jew, but a worldview in which the diasporic Jew stands for urban modernity and ideology seen as threats to the hard borders of the nation-state. This is why the Israeli right had to reinvent Judeobolshevism from first principles.

The Supreme Court would like to be clear that Fuhrman was being partisan, not racist

horrifying. and familiar. and horrifying.

Horrifying: active shooter situation at a San Diego mosque. There’s still a lot to learn, but this is particularly frightening at a moment of rising anti-Muslim hate and the gutting/politicization of key security and anti-hate programs. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

this continues to be the dumbest point, because it's basically 'yes, this is genocide, but what about what people who don't know anything about genocide think genocide has to be?'

Disgorgement. Lustration. Defenestration.

Ah, this is nice. I wanted to go to Space Camp because of the movie. We didn't have the $ but it was in Alabama so I went to the space center for a day visit and managed not to vomit in the centrifugal simulator.

After a brief delay, the J6 coup proved to be totally successful in the end.

(not actually) looking forward to everyone who, for years, has been telling me that ~of course~ they despise Ben Gvir and Smotrich, now going to bat for them.

sure would be nice if there were a Congress

We noticed you from across the patio and dig your vibe.

I remember how huge the run-up to the 1994 World Cup in the US was. It was all-consuming. This time is nothing near that scale even though soccer has grown substantially in the US since then. Feels like the political atmosphere has completely poisoned the event (or at least the anticipation).

If anyone in Suffolk needs to commute to NYC Monday morning, meet me at Ronkonkoma Station at 6 A.M. Some cycling experience preferred.

Oh my god, this is unbelievable: the striking LIRR worker complaining that Hochul “has money for everything except our salaries” LITERALLY MADE MORE MONEY THAN HOCHUL DID LAST YEAR

she’s in oakland, someone tell interpol

This month CB7 passed a “public safety” resolution about the menace of e-bikes, yet motor vehicles continue to pose orders of magnitude more risk and potential for harm than even the heaviest, fastest e-bike. We need to design car supremacy out of our public spaces and transportation networks.

This clemency grant to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and election officials across the country. The Governor’s actions today will validate and embolden the election denial movement, and leave a dark, dangerous imprint on American democracy for years to come.

Colorado Democrats need to impeach Gov. Jared Polis

fuck this.

I also will keep saying it a thousand times. New York City LAW considers a protected bike lane a required safety feature that is expected to be included on EVERY DOT project that materially changes the street (adding/removing lanes, etc).

Holy smokes, huge scoop from @wibeerbaron.bsky.social. RIP The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous 🫡

the pundit class (Broder, Russert, Novak, Gergen) have been replaced by the pundit class (MY, EK, JH, etc)

A thing that annoys me about people like this - including Matt Yglesias, Ezra Klein, Jonathan Haidt, and the WaPo opinion page - is that we're forced to treat them as intellectuals by virtue of their positions when there's often little rigor or expertise behind their work. bsky.app/profile/mich...

this is not a Steyer problem, it's an everyone* problem. *there are campaigns that aren't paying influencers. you haven't heard of them.

maybe shutting down all the fancy, well-capitalized universities isn't the worst idea

This is outrageous and completely insufficient. The committee **didn't even consider** whether Kotlikoff broke the law or Cornell rules. It's not even a whitewash, it's a brush-off. statements.cornell.edu/2026/2026051...

Increasingly thinking of my career as a huge mess I've gotten myself into

COVID is like Memento. I look down at my arm, and there's a tattoo that says, "We killed Qassem Soleimani and oil futures went negative." [thinks - that can't be right...] look down at the other arm and there's a tattoo that says, "Kate McKinnon dated Bari Weiss at Columbia. This is true."

look this only sounds offensive until you realize he thinks he’s talking about some kind of gasoline leprechaun

Lamar!

110 years ago today, the Yidishes Tageblatt announced the passing of a beloved writer with the perfect headline (image via LOC)

“Both parties are corrupt!” is just social signaling behavior to provide an excuse to vote for the party you culturally align with *despite* the corruption.

This is because Pete can't grow a beard, isnt it

I think he should go campaign for her.

YO HOW MANY CONGRESS PEOPLE ARE MISSING WTF!!??

I know the economics are prohibitive, but as a Solar Bears fan living in NYC, it'd be nice if they left the division more often. (Conference, too, though that's less critical for improving their record.)

We've all thought about doing a sick kickflip off the top of the Vietnam War Memorial wall, but only one FBI director had the balls to just do it

Out of Charmin? Fret not.

This is what happens when there's historically low trust in the Presidents of the United States of America

Just casually listening to the United States Government claim that the President could strip all Catholics, African Americans, and/or Asian Americans of security clearances and the courts can't do one damn thing about it.
