Congress is laying the track for Amtrak to pay for its cosmetic upgrades to Penn Station by seizing city property tax revenues to allow a Trump-connected local developer to build at a discount around the president’s proposed marble and gold filigreed train hall.

Dragaera has enough stuff in it to support a full UB set, only problem is we're short twelve colors.

sometimes headlines can give the wrong impression but this is exactly what it says on the tin. this is despicable. it took a phenomenal, expensive, coordinated effort to get from north carolina losing 400 million dollars & a gubernatorial race over a bathroom ban to this in 10 years.

Oh yeah the klept is going to loooove flying into Cleveland, the closest airport to NYC not under Sanctuary laws. But only because the airport isn't inside city limits - Ohio is MAGA but Cleveland restricts ICE cooperation.

my Gundam name.

This is a good one but I can't get past the actual Heathcliff.

trumps birthday party with gladiator fights that he’s throwing with taxpayer money while gas is approaching $6 has the potential to make the american public collectively angrier at a president than theyve ever been

The curves are VERY good and would be better if we didn't have weird freak coal-fetishists in office here, destroying wind and solar projects.

I thought tonight couldn’t get any better and then I saw this

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

I cannot imagine a more on-the-nose metaphor than tech companies filling their offices with free drugs that supposedly enhance your productivity but are more addictive than heroin. fortune.com/2026/03/04/p...

This goes triple, by the way, if you have an infant or are going to be doing any appliance or furniture purchase in the next year. AND that Costco pricing is on national brands or Kirkland, which is comparable with them. Often fully PREMIUM brands at less than house brand elsewhere.

Windows won't close properly? Sill issue.

The manifesto left behind by the San Diego mosque shooters dedicates only a few paragraphs to the shooter’s hatred of Islam but pages and pages to their hatred of Jews, which would seem weird if you were a newborn baby deer who knew nothing about Christian Nationalism

Bland Bedtime .

these people desperately need acceptance in liberal / left wing spaces because liberal / left wing spaces are socially, economically, and culturally valuable. nobody on the left is complaining about being unwelcome in the shitty dallas exurbs because these places fucking suck.

Everwood!

Ok listen I could pretty easily paint a picture about how “only rich people drink seltzer” is an antisemitic take and I wish I was joking.

What the actual fuck?

This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.

Exception: those of us in NYC are allowed to like the Yankees but get the Traitors as free hates, and then get to pick among the Sox, Phillies, and, for some reason, Atlanta.

Stony Brook University (SUNY) is the birthplace of the MRI. The Physics department is splitting atomic nuclei. In-state tuition is $7K.

CUNY would be in the top 20 countries for Nobel laureates. CCNY has more Nobel Laureates than China, Spain, or Korea. SUNY+CUNY have as many as Russia.

Yes, and americas superpower is that we have lots of these great schools. If you were a random outsider looking to study abroad in the US if you just started by throwing darts at flagship public universities you’d already be in the top echelons of research and higher education in the world

US universities genuinely are like “welcome to Tennessee Agricultural College in Bumfuck Nowheresville. We invented the modern potato and our facilities include a particle accelerator, nuclear reactor, and TOP500 supercomputer. Tuition is $12,000 for instate students and we have 40,000 of them”

Japan is one of the most R&D intensive non-US countries, and RIKEN is its most prestigious (non-university) research institute. If you isekai’d it into the US, it only has the fourth biggest R&D budget in the state of North Carolina, which is like the twelfth biggest state bsky.app/profile/awma...

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

Oh no.

Doesn't hurt quite as much as the Madison or Lex locations but damn.

Respectfully, if you're now against "A.i." in elementary schools, please immediately cancel the @aft.org's partnership with OpenAI. Also, please publicly support the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social's call for an "A.i." moratorium in NYC public schools. Thank you for your consideration.

The fact that fame has been so completely divorced from both 1) skill/worthiness and 2) the potential to profit from that skill is pretty much the perfect explanation for why "Just start fucking scamming" has turned into the free square on the influencer BINGO card. I mean, what else can you do.

I've NEVER gotten a counterfeit product from Costco NEVER Costco CEO Ron Vachris total annual compensation is approximately $13.9 million Jeff Bezos earns billions of dollars - nothing but counterfeit products on that site www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/se...

In a lot of ways, it feels like a lot of steps in my life have been inevitable. Even the dislocation of Covid didn't change the trajectory so much.

There's a nearby universe where it got made and nudged those first two's lives just enough to change outcomes...

I’m proud of the work I did as an AUSA, and I say this with complete sincerity: if you’re an AUSA, and a decent person, who cares about your oath, get out. Get out now without destroying your reputation. A DoJ run to Trumpist specifications is corrupt and incompetent. The stink will stick on you.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Hey uhhhh how often do AUSAs get sanctioned, historically?

KAT WON. FUCK ICE.

Science textbooks narrow-mindedly coalesce around a very narrow range of theories, while new age bookshops are refreshingly diverse.

Ith a comic about THECRETH AND LIETH.

In two paragraphs, a perfect snapshot of the willful refusal of some security officials – in this case, predictably, in Trump's FBI; but this also happens in Europe – to see and name racist and far-right terror for what it is. It is not "indiscriminate" hatred, or "nihilism"; it is modern nazism.

OK Jamie, move to Nashville. I guarantee you, there are PLENTY OF OTHER BILLIONAIRES who would love to live at 1185. No? No Masa in Nashville? The Dimon Wing at the Frist not as exciting as the Dimon Gallery at MoMA? Too far from your Westchester mansion? TOO BAD, GO!

Is this how I learn someone I've been reading for a third of a century is a lawyer?

Your periodic reminder that Destroyer, the men's adventure novel series about a hard-boiled Jersey cop who (checks notes) learns a secret Korean martial art that underlies all other martial arts and (checks notes) becomes a vegetarian Hindu about it, is still ongoing.

Jean Grey: Warren, you’re fifteen minutes late. I’m assigning you a foot fetish. Scott Summers: Jean. Jean Grey: What? He already had a foot fetish. Now he just thinks I implanted it there. Which I didn’t, I’m just taking credit for it. Scott Summers: Jean.
