Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

if the knicks win for the first time since 1973 we're bringing back subway graffiti and kicking out all the oligarchs investing in unused midtown terrace lofts. times square will revert to its natural roots as a porn emporium

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

The Knicks finally figured out how to do the right thing.

My door was so stuck I briefly thought someone had sneaked in and changed my door locks, but no it's just that hot and humid. Yay.

PERFECT

TODAY: @ilanaslightly.bsky.social on the worlds and politics of Terry Pratchett, who was, by the way, "passionately anti-authoritarian, and a humanist, whose values shine through every book." flaminghydra.com/i-too-am-beg...

The jerseys also say "Ceci n'est pas un maillot" ("This is not a jersey") on the back. Perfect detail.

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

On my way to a big ride in the Bronx and as a bunch of us from Brooklyn all rolled our bikes off the subway two of the guys gleefully bellowed “YERRRRR!!” so it’s gonna be a proper New York ride

Ok, the Hasidic man walking in the bike lane because his big fur hat wouldn't fit under the low tree branches on the sidewalk did make me smile.

A beautiful night to ride through Bed-Stuy while people in all the projects had set up big screens on the street so dozens of neighbors could all hang out together to watch the game. Good vibes all the way!

My ancestors came here “the right way” only because it was before there was an official “wrong way.” Or they would DEFINITELY have been wrong.

Classicist here to inform you all that this is ancient Greek for summoning a cat

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent goats I have met during walks in the British countryside. You will find the all-important captions to each photo in the alt text.

“Content” also insidiously shifts significance and validity to the platform, not the substance — content is contained, what defines content is the existence and form of the container

Weather by Rothko, a painting to match your day! rothko.joonas.wtf

I just put a big sprinkle of Tajín into a fresh ramp pesto. Recommend.

Your periodic reminder that the Uihleins are massively harmful conservative megadonors, and if you need shipping materials, office supplies, etc, please do consider other options besides Uline.

I was on tiktok the other day and saw a video where someone said rich people don't drink soda they drink seltzer and I was like, "I'm too NYC for this commentary"

Biking is like everything else on the planet where for the most part it weirdly gets easier the more often you do it. And the earlier you start the more normal it feels. Which is why it seems so easy and natural for people who grow up in places where everyone rides bikes everywhere.

This is a delight.

tired: "english majors are dumb because there's no objective measure of whether something is right." wired: "english majors are smart because there's no objective measure of whether something is right."

Funny things still happen over at the bad place This guy put a prompt in his LinkedIn and now AI recruiters are writing him in Old English and calling him "my lord"

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

Finally!! I guess the DOT saw me getting honked at every day for looping around in the car lane for the one (1) block needed to reach an outbound street.

Oh hey, I am once again going to talk about lack of distress tolerance, specifically for shame, and how it ties together AI, the “male loneliness epidemic,” Trumpism, and yes, people’s indignation that anyone might think they’re a bad person for continuing to buy Harry Potter merch.

THREAD: A common claim I see is that the reason most of the photos we see from the 1960s are in black-and-white is because of some concerted effort to make events like the Civil Rights Movement seem more distant. While I understand the attraction to this idea, the reasons are simpler than that. 1/

After the week I’ve had I’m increasingly convinced English/humanities majors are the only viable worthwhile majors, sorry not sorry

but there was a key piece of context missing. and it *completely changed* the meaning of his actions you have to understand why you're doing things. you have to know where the scrub brush comes from.

This is a very good thread about AI.

WH Auden hated a lot of stuff but this one’s right on.

Imagine thinking the height of human potential is making a billion dollars

This is like a James Joyce acid trip (complimentary)

The green dragon wishes you all an excellent #weekend BL Add 16577; Festival prayer book, Italian rite; 3rd quarter of the 15th century; Italy; f.44v @blmedieval.bsky.social

Thinking about how the automotive industry forced us all to accept a fundamental amount of harms as everyday (injury, death, environmental damage…), and how this set the stage for the AI industry to try to do exactly the same thing.

This is exactly it. Uber and Lyft exploded the number of cars on our streets, by creating additional access and then demand for taxi service. No one gave up their car. Waymo is likely to do the same, just adding more vehicles and more demand for being chauffered around the city unnecessarily.

I’m reposting the broth video because sometimes I just need to see it

1. Your goal is to retrieve your treasure from a monstrous entity. 2. All you need is a pen and paper, but expensive software makes it much easier. 3. The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.

I love it when we refuse to settle for the way things are as the way they have to be. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/n...

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

This!! Why would some fake plastic fantasy version of your restaurant make me want to go there more? It makes me want to go there less.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

The use of “hallucinate” is a stroke of true evil genius in the AI world. In ANY other context we’d just call them errors & the fail rate would be crystal clear. Instead, “hallucinate” implies genuine sentience & the *absence* of real error. Aw, this software isn’t shit! Boo’s just dreaming!

10k steps is a very average workday for me! Walk to subway, go out to grab lunch, meet a friend for dinner, take the subway home. That's 10k steps without even thinking about it.

Community-oriented government services led by community-oriented people! I love that 311 is staffed by real New Yorkers who have real knowledge of our city.
