This is the story of seperation. Of dehumanization And of love This is what our country does to love To people on their finite time on earth it takes the love that binds us And creates our greatest sorrows God damn us all

"While the officer claimed the sandwich “exploded” on his chest and left smells “of onions and mustard,” defense counsel showed a photo of the sandwich after the throw, noting that it was still in its Subway wrapping." Taking 7 hours to reach a verdict after hearing this is wild. Who held out?!

The front page of the New York Times is asking if women belong the workplace and @aselrod.bsky.social and @liberalcurrents.com, come through with this. Incredible timing.

TIL that 2 mg of Valium is nowhere near enough for my anxiety, cause true to form, my goofy ass cut all the way up soon as they pushed me into the wider MRI machine today. Now I have to get a higher dose from my doctor before I attempt it again in a couple of weeks. I exhaust my mama and myself.

Time check: 1124am ET I hope Mamdani is still sleeping.

Cross cultural references that instead of making you feel like you missed something for not getting the “joke/meme” Rewarded your knowledge by making you feel anchored in the location of New York, the enormity of the moment, and the mission ahead Location Emotion Action

Pump this directly into my VEINS

This is blowing my mind

Zohran’s mom directed this. @slate.com talked to her about it back in 2022.

Still cannot believe the new mayor of NYC’s mama directed Mississippi Masala.

Today was the night that Barack Obama was elected to present the first time 17 years ago. As a reminder from him: “While we can breathe, we hope."

A politician is a politician But the MACHINE , the work of it is PEOPLE so many people came together and have come together and it inspired INTERNATIONALLY with just Caring about how we live BECAUSE THAT IS THE JOB That is the civic

Congratulations to NJ, VA, and NYC! My fellow North Carolinians: See how they all voted? Very responsible; very informed.

The way Mayor Mamdani will be OUTSIDE tonight!! That man is gonna sleep for 96 hours straight. He deserves every minute of REM. Also, whoever said it last week was on to something with his victory walk-up music should be Jadakiss’ talking during the intro of his Verzuz performance of “New York.”

LET’S👏🏾 FUCKIN 👏🏾GOOOOO👏🏾!!!

NYC making history tonight in terms of the voter turnout is that sh*t that I like to see.

Did I miss the reason why Steve Kornacki and his khakis and tie are not working the boards tonight?

IKYFL!!! I KNOWWWWW YOU FN LYIN!

Let's go NYC, NJ, and VA!! Vote!

Congratulations to everyone who completed the NYC marathon, including one of my students! Y'all are amazing humans, and I cannot imagine the emotional and physical endurance it required. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Watching this Michelle Obama special feels like a fever dream. Also, I am reminded of that casual family pic a couple of years ago where it was *very* clear that Sasha had somewhere else to be later. 🤣

NYC, hear me when I say this for the fiftyleventh time: SO MANY OF THE REST OF US ARE ROOTING FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE GROUP ASSIGNMENT!!

"You experiment by your DAMN self!" -A Black family proverb

Why is Heidi Klum so good at Halloween? Her commitment is inspiring.

So, we’re all in agreement that winners of Halloween are those babies that recreated The Wayans Brother’s opening theme song and Kayla Nicole, right?

Maya Wiley is forever The Mayor Who Never Was. NYC was deprived of competence and compassion.

This:

If Joe and Mika aren’t met with boos when they come out to this MSNBC Live 25 event... The North remembers….

Naturally the dev team not ONCE thought to consider how this unasked for feature could be weaponized as an attack vector.

I love this film so much. What I love just as much is the season of Feud: Bette and Joan that Ryan Murphy produced several years ago that centers the real-life beef between them during them filming of the movie. These celebrity beefs of today ain't got SHIT on Bette and Joan!! COMPLETE MENACES!

OKAY!?!?! Because it's carrying the ENTIRE SHOW! I'd rather see the bottle spin around than Ashley and Derek, tbh.

Everyone participating in Halloween today: Be safe, be alert, and be a helper, if necessary. Every kid deserves some joy and candy.

Febreeze has literally put Beyond the Gates on their back, cause I already knew when Nicole said something was missing in that damn living room she was looking for the bottle.

"At least he's dedicated to his beret" induced a yelp. NYC: A reminder that this is a *GROUP* assignment. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise.” So just...🖕🏾to those who have the least. Also worth noting that focusing on climate change contradicts the AI full court press from SV.

Conflicting info on if the escaped monkeys infected with COVID, herpes, and hepatitis are contagious or not is honestly so 2025. Nothing is impossible. What is this timeline even? The Upside Down

BARS from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social: "Working class' has become a powerful political totem of its own—a discursive sleight of hand used to separate out white voters’ concerns as more legitimate, more materially grounded, more important than other voters’ concerns" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

On top of the raw cruelty and the lack of any reason for this beyond the GOP commitment to allowing every rip-off they can imagine, this is also a decision to make prison *worse* at reforming/rehabilitating people, because we're making it harder for them to stay connected with people outside.

Saying this in advance because I already know it’s gonna be shenanigans… It is helpful to share ways for people to contribute to organizations to support those affected by the government shut down. We DO NOT need *content* involving the actual act of charity. Give and keep it moving.

My feed was set to BlackSky vs mutuals, and the messy-ass rabbit hole I just went down...💀💀

A frank essay on what sustainability (or lack thereof) looks like in AI research. What is described here by my friend @natolambert.bsky.social, a CS researcher, is true of social researchers of AI as well. Worth reading by anyone thinking about the human costs of the AI race, which are far reaching.

The Louvre heisters left behind power tools, gloves, and a motorcycle helmet?

Clearly I was so locked into this #Verzuz and focused on my own damn performance that I missed Romeo? And Tamar??

I don’t think folks realized/remembered just how much Juvie put Cash Money on his back from day 1. My guy CARRIED. #Verzuz

Three winners from tonight’s Verzuz: New Orleans, Gen X, and elder millennials Both camps came out the gate STRONG (400 Degreez and No Limit Soldiers). We got all our faves (THANK YOU for running How Ya Do Dat, Freak H*es), and they STILL left a lot off. ENTIRELY too short. FN PHENOMENAL!

Is that Kelly Price on stage with No Limit?? #Verzuz

Home in time for the Cash Money v. No Limit Verzuz. I'm gonna be annoyed, ain't I? I just feel it.

Harold Fisher sent me tonight's Daily Drum ep right before it went live, and I cried real tears when my former student said I was one of her fave professors. I started my career at HU because I never had a Black woman professor as a CS major at my HBCU. [1/2] whur.com/news/howard-...
