This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money. Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

the amount of sad you should feel about the retirement of the NYC Metrocard should be like “mildly wistful pre-nostalgia” — more than that, IMO, is kinda silly

If you’re getting married in your 30s and have savings/retirement funds, it’s not a bad idea to get a prenup

Send prayers to my Seahawks household today

socialism is when your former landlord raises the rent after you move out

They can chat with all the billionaires leaving New York under Mamdani (of which there are zero)

I’m a lifelong PTA skeptic (sorry) and even I thought One Battle After Another was a masterpiece. Damn. Mad I missed this one in theaters.

Everybody hates it and any claims that “this happens with any disruptive tech” are obvious and pathetic cope. Shut down your AI depts and take the L large corporations. This is not it

Moving into an apartment with a dishwasher changed my life

Giving the people what they’re clamoring for: Never seen an Avatar. Probably won’t.

TIME should have awarded 2025’s Person of the Year to my mom, who convinced me in March to buy real snow boots “just in case.”

I've been thinking a lot about Marty Supreme, a movie that stressed me out *and* made me think about how my grandfather, a poor "bad" Jewish kid from The Bronx who was just a few years older than Chalamet's character, made it to Yale Law School by a combination of will, genius and the GI Bill.

A great Christmas meal with @amidanruo.bsky.social, @mgoldstein.nyc, @bfishbfish.bsky.social, and @lindseyadler.bsky.social

Just wanna ask the Safdies if everything’s okay at home

If we’re doing Christmas movie confessionals, when I finally read A Christmas Carol I was super confused to learn Jacob Marley didn’t actually have a twin brother named Robert.

Sorry, we’re getting a snowstorm when?

Is this a good day for me to confess that I’ve never seen A Christmas Story

I have watched all of Pluribus and my take is that it is very good.

lol I just can’t believe she’s comfortable talking to people who put together “60 Minutes” like this

If you're looking for a last minute Christmas gift or somewhat large stocking stuffer, Amazon has my gorgeous coffee table book, Floral Estrangements, on sale for only $10! www.amazon.com/Floral-Estra...

I had a friend in elementary school who almost died because she had celiac disease and it took a while for the doctors to figure out she was incredibly malnourished

Pretty brave for a guy who has stiffed all his creditors.

I know there are bigger problems in the world but I have been watching The Americans for over five years now and I still can’t get through season 4, send help

Two seasons ago the Mets were the most fun team to watch in the MLB and next summer I don’t even know if I’ll bother to go to a game.

Also the soundtrack slaps

Yeah, no one’s gonna buy this

Unfortunately I am a MetroCard hater and side with the “good riddance”

I do think one small silver lining is that Bari had previously enjoyed a pretty neutral reputation among the uninitiated and I think she has burned that

The thing about this is that there are some otherwise reasonable people out there who had not yet figured out that Bari Weiss is a tool of the Trump administration and this is, uh, gonna be a pretty big signal

"I want people to know what happened to him, a man who lived 30 years here, hardworking, paid taxes, and they treated him like an animal," said Gantchev's wife, who ...fears retaliation from federal officials. "They are so rude to him... They treated him like he was a murderer."

I'm kinda getting tired around people putting caveats around antisemitism, there's been two mass shootings related to it, major political parties are openly saying antisemitic things and shuls have sophisticated security systems, you can just say it's bad

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

“They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “I don’t say that with any hyperbole, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

"For a moment, I was taken aback when the Politician told me he didn't want children. On Earth. Anyway, back to my metaphor,"

The "we just want to be like Denmark" thing is putting a faux-liberal gloss on a policy. First, they know that most Americans think of Denmark as just a very white place, so the coding is not subtle. But it ignores that health care in Denmark is free. www.commonwealthfund.org/internationa...

Can’t stop thinking about this. The Trump administration is essentially extorting hospitals into dropping gender-affirming care—without Medicare or Medicaid they’d go bankrupt. It’s akin to a backdoor ban even for people with private insurance, a proposal that wouldn’t pass Congress.

Do you want more measles, flu, RSV, and chicken pox? Because that's what we'll get

Paging Bill Cassidy... www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h...

Mine is Stigmata

Big "rent-stabilized building superintendent did this" vibes tbh

Can’t say I’m feeling great about this!

I remain quite angry at the people, many of them fellow Jews, who spent so much energy worrying about leftwing campus antisemitism when it was so clearly used as a distraction from the growing acceptance of mask-off Nazism within the Republican party. So many people allowed themselves to get played.

Just had to explain to a Gen Zer what White Out is and I have truly never felt so old

I picked a great time to switch to Chase

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.

So much awfulness in the news around trans rights these days, so here is a great resource from the APA with "dos" and "don'ts" for teachers and school personnel about supporting kids who are exploring their gender identities. www.apa.org/ed/schools/p...

Prayers for the Seahawks fan I live with who, based on the sounds I’m hearing from the living room, is having a tough night.

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.
