This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

People often ask me “What’s the best place to get your book?” Pre-order from an indie shop or ask your library for an upcoming book. A pre-order is like a 2X booster that helps get more attention and word of mouth during the critical launch window. All of you who already have, you’re rock stars 🦖

Seems like Trump’s statements about an imminent deal are total BS.

Rural conservatives are convinced everyone is getting a free ride on the taxes they pay when in reality rural communities couldn’t exist without huge amounts of federal tax dollars.

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me

One guy obeyed the law as interpreted by SCOTUS and the other guy is a criminal?

New Yorkers, join us in the first ever Mayor’s Municipal Madness: a competition of city fixes where everyone wins. Pick your fix and vote here: nyc.gov/madness

He figured out a reason for us to move to a cash free economy. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

NEW: Mayor Mamdani’s Department of Transportation will finally follow through on a mothballed 2024 plan to build a new and improved Manhattan-side bike lane and pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. buff.ly/ROjxxpU

Any given “Journey to the West” stock demon-of-the-week trying to eat Tripitaka had more interiority than the president

Is “interesting” a synonym for “bloodbath” or “quagmire”? Asking for the 82nd Airborne.

Big Pharma don’t want you to know this!

Can’t wait until Hegseth starts issuing letters of marque for intercepting and stealing this oil from the tankers.

I don’t think it will all fit in there.

This point is especially true, and also makes me crazy. In NYC, there are countless articles and testimonials from the people terrified by all the "near-misses" from cyclists or e-bikes. Meanwhile, when I mention a close childhood friend was killed by a car and nothing changed, I'm being hysterical

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

That kid is a true cyclist. He knows you gotta be watching out for obstacles and pointing them out for anyone drafting off of you and the importance of snacks so you don’t bonk.

I DESPERATELY don’t want to talk about Platner anymore but what the fuck am I supposed to do???? Just sit quietly while the Dem establishment embraces a guy who celebrates the people who slaughtered my whole family??? I too am sick of hearing his name!! But……I have no choice!!!!

the sobering detail here is that the Danes were prepared to fight while knowing exactly how that would likely end for them

Kash Patel refused to deny that the FBI is buying up Americans' location data. This is a shocking end run around the 4th amendment and exactly why we need to pass real privacy reforms NOW.

A two-year extension of ACA subsidies would have cost $60B. Over the last few months the Treasury has borrowed $50B per week. The regime wants $200B for funding a war to make fuel more expensive? Hell no.

Gotta be tough to charactize even the theft accusation as defamatory when they returned to him less money than they had documented taking at the scene and said it had been miscounted at his house after they investigated themselves for the decrepancy.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Someone needs to send an ambulance to X

I first read it as Ireland not Iran and I was thinking this was going to be a tipping point for a non-US World Cup.

I would honestly trust the Mets to not fuck this up as bad as this administration and I say this as someone who has constantly seen the Mets snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

i think when trump sees zohran coming into his office he does the thing lucille bluth does when she sees gene parmesan

Philippe Chancel's photos of the Nazi hunting Rockabilly street gangs of 80s Paris.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

one of the earliest lessons in politics I learned as a kid from my parents was to always vote for a tax increase, because you're trading a dollar amount so small you probably won't notice in order to fund something important that benefits everybody. I wish that was how Democrats messaged this stuff!

Pitch an unnecessary sequel Leaving Los Vegas 2

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

Sometimes you’re involved in a bit of skullduggery, and sometimes you gotta get involved in a bit of skullmuggery.

And it’s all the same system failure. Car dependency drives the health crisis, the cost-of-living crisis, and a big chunk of the mental health crisis. It creates time poverty that even affects toilet training and reading. This isn’t just transport. It’s structural.

You know what to do

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

Keep it simple, y’all. War is wrong. This war is wrong. Stop this war.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline. I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate. Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

If you ever thought wow Brooklyn south of Prospect Park is full of the most insane drivers I've ever seen you're not wrong www.bkreader.com/non-profit-c...

It could be one more weird anomaly in this unending cycle of what the fuck.

I’m hoping they let Nairo Quintana race Flanders and Roubaix.

*laughs in "years of Benghazi hearings"*

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.

Do it now. Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices. Script here again.

Careful what you ask for. The demand is not, "Congress must vote to authorize this war." The demand is, "Congress must vote to end this immoral and illegal war of aggression."

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

The first 3 issues alone constitute the most unambiguous broad base mandate I can remember
