This is going to be like the purge but for sensible early dinner reservations

I have never seen this many people struggle to come to terms with backing the wrong horse & I worked at an OTB on Staten Island from freshman year to graduation from college.

It gets worse. DSA may even have a group chat where people talk shit about the people in the group chat that talks shit about the group chat.

Pausa de Humiliacion

Cheating and still losing. Feels about right.

The DuckDuckGo search result:

Yeah pretty much

It’s almost as if it’s better to nominate someone who’s vaguely normal and exhibits good judgment than a guy who fulfills some kind of fantastical macho stereotype about the white working class.

Brits and Europeans: if you want to ask Americans complaining about the weather why they don’t just use air conditioning, now’s your chance

Voilà le pape d'Avignon, L’on y tance, l’on y tance. Voilà le pape d'Avignon, L’on y tance, tous en rond.

Protect the dolls? No. Unleash the dolls. Unleash them and let slip the dolls of war.

I wonder how public services shape people’s feelings about government. I might feel differently if I lived in a city that privatized everything and occasionally patched potholes. But I get to live in a place has government-funded pools, schools, transit, housing, parks, hospitals, libraries, etc.

@oldenoughtosay.com At the risk of adding to the air con fracas: do you know if the UK considering any climate-related changes to water treatment? My UK colleagues hated US tap water for tasting like chlorine, but it kind of has to because it is warm here, and Legionnaires’, and brain amoebas.

This is an especially wild thing to say in the wake of NYC’s primaries. NYC’s Democratic machines weren’t known for turning out volunteers but for backroom deals and uncontested elections. All that door knocking and mobilization is being led by progressive orgs, not by the party.

I’m glad that Lander won, even though that means I’ll be complaining about him regularly for the next two years.

I bet anyone who has ever taken someone else to Bangladesh is feeling pretty smug right now

I ❤️ NY

Not a huge fan of that Taylor Swift song, but what if: “II got a hundred guns a hundred clips, We’ve been waiting for you! I got a semi-automatic that spits. We’ve been waiting for you!”, etc.

Yesterday, a guy sitting across from me on the train kept pulling shoes out of his backpack and putting socks over them. If the shoe already had a sock on? He added another. I will be thinking about this for the next six months.

Bert is running around Sesame Street with his shirt off and he was about to kick Oscars can until Oscar said, "Aht!" And he thought better of it. Cookie Monster just ate a stop sign.

My entire feed is people from all across the country suggesting someone named James Dolan to "eat shit and die" more or less and I think that's an America worth fighting for

If you thought New Yorkers were insufferable before, well, strap the fuck in

HAHAHAHA

Gay (appreciative)

Rooting for the Knicks to win the World Cup too

You cut us down But we survived Fuck Trump Knicks in 5

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

Grand Theft Epona: Ocarina of Crime

LMAOed when I saw this today

Congrats to the Knicks for just barely saving my neighbor from having a heart attack

Becoming a RETVRN guy, but only for the 1970s New York Telephone phone book covers

Trump is trying every way he can to speed up his mass deportation machine. His new "mega master" hearing tactic hit NYC today, following NPR's report that they were already underway in Boston, Chicago and Massachusetts. It's where a judge sees 2-3 times as many cases in a single day than usual.

I’m holding out hope that Europeans can bring enough tractors, manure, and yellow vests to make it work.

Ew York, oncrete jungle where reams are made of Ere’s nothing you an’t do.

“The data confirms what all New Yorkers know, which is that ICE engages in racial profiling when carrying out street arrests,” said Elora Mukherjee, law professor at Columbia University. Our investigation:

I found a decent alternative to Bluesky: riding the D train over the Manhattan Bridge near a guy who elatedly shouts “the Knicks are ahead!” as soon as he gets cell service.

Thinking about how you could sing just about anything to the tune of Orinoco Flow, and as long as you repeated “sail away” during the chorus I would believe you

Hold up. Sykes was in his 30s? The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire sent a guy in his 30s to carve up Western Asia?

Coccyxular

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

Satan, the Lord of Darkness, the Father of Lies, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, is WEAK on consumer financial protections.

I’m glad Orban is out, but I need everyone to be prepared for Peter Magyar, who spent two decades in Fidesz before defecting, to also kind of suck. Fingers crossed that Hungary gets some meaningful reforms out of him anyway.

Turns out the secret to defeating authoritarianism is to run a candidate who’s named after the country. Here’s hoping that someone out there has a 35-year-old cousin named Johnny Americano.

I can’t believe the peace negotiations fell apart, even though they were helmed by America’s most likable guy

The earth isn’t flat. It just lives inside the pocket of a denim jacket. That’s why the sky is blue.

Why are well-connected political insiders depending on a bunch of 20-year-olds to take care of organizing political opposition for them?

Why the fuck is the NYPD flying a helicopter at less than 200 feet over Brooklyn?
