“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable cities.

Thank you, Peter Beinart, for this and for so much else. #jewsforzohran

Somehow we have just got to stop listening to him.

Favorite part of the day! Global friends!🌏 #NoKings ❌👑

The huge No Kings protests, an estimated 7 million people addressing America's worst crisis since the Civil War, get a tiny headline on the New York Times homepage, with no photo. Why does NYT think change happens only when politicians hold news conferences and not when everyday people take action?

Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldn’t speak—if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizens—but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

You know what film holds up? Brazil.

“It’s also an inexcusable strategic risk to concentrate so many leaders in the operational chain of command in the same publicly known time and place, to convey an inane message of little merit.” www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

Called it! When we read that Elizabeth Gilbert's lover was dying, we SAID she would exploit it for a book, and darned if she didn't prove us right. PATHETIC. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."

The notion that unfettered capitalism somehow promotes or is good for or is in any positive way connected with democracy has been proven to be one of the most dangerous lies of our time.

I hope someone is keeping the roommate safe.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa... JVL says it just right

bde and alav ha shalom about Charlie Kirk. This is our world now. Is it horrible of me that my first thought was that Mamdani has to be protected at all costs?

Register or put it on your calendar, DC folks. Let em know whose streets these are. OUR STREETS ✊🏻

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/r... I do appreciate the Times's tone in this piece. They picked the grossest photos and mentioned at least twice the nefarious (and disgusting) pasts of the two pieces of shite who are in charge of this ugliness.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Terrence Stamp! 💔

The American story as it actually has unfolded - a nation slowly, imperfectly realizing its founding ideals - is only divisive to people who are racists. ICYMI @tlecaque.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-smit...

This is too much. Too much.

Dreamed last night someone threatened me by holding a gun to my throat.

I won't do spoilers, but I got very angry this morning reading about the new film "Weapons." I watched a spoiler-laden review and am honestly offended. Don't we [redacted] have it bad enough without being made [redacted] in horror movies? Jordan Peele would never because he's not anti-[redacted].

www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/s... I dislike this timeline.

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/n... Mamdani is neither anti-Jew nor anti-Italian.

I just watched "Mountainhead." A review said Steve Carrell was miscast, but that's wrong. He's great. The miscast actor is Corey Michael Smith. He has no natural charisma. They should have got Nicholas Hoult.

I believe this is my wedding anniversary.

My God. Just leak the files, already.

BDE. This colorful and intelligent man has just died. He was respected and beloved. Alav ha shalom.

Happy Birthday to me! A new episode of A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs. Thanks, @andrewhickey.500songs.com !! 🎂

My 17th of tammuz fast lasted until precisely noon, when I broke down and ate pepitas. I am such a wimpy Jew about giving up food for a higher purpose.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

There are 50,000 undocumented Irish in the USA. There are no plans to move any of them into FLA concentration camps or El Salvador torture gulags. And everyone knows why.

I really do think that if any other president used the word “shylocks” it would be on the home page of NYT.

No one asked @bradlander if he denounced the worst things Israeli officials have said about Palestinians (incl a soldier who said they should be exterminated), but if you’re a brown person who’s Muslim you somehow represent every extremist who practices your religion

The number of supposedly liberal people claiming Zohran’s refusal to denounce whatever baity thing they put in front of him is antisemitism is truly horrifying. And if he wasn’t Muslim he wouldn’t get that line of questioning. Cabán showing leadership here:

Oh, man. Bill Moyers. Alav ha shalom. He did good in the world.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

So all those that voted for trump as a protest for Gaza or didn’t vote as a protest F off all of you

Jesus Christ. He "can't" take military action w/o Congress, but if he does, then what, exactly?
