saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

"are there any parades that don't exist that you think should?" is a real question asked of the men seeking to run New York City and the responses represent a real missed opportunity

this, from astead herndon's profile of zohran mamdani, is a good thing to keep thinking of

holy shit new far side?!?!?!?! truly NEVER thought this would happen. its fun seeing gary try digital art styles

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad! www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

in 1968 sottsass designed the prettiest manual typewriter ever released (imo), the Olivetti Valentine. this is one of my holy grail things to get someday. (for his part, sottsass later disliked the valentine and said it was a failure bc he wanted it to be cheap and disposable, not just art)

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

new england furs please help us spread the word around! we are hoping to cultivate more DIY music events in the boston area and build up a scene <3 #furrymusic #furrymusicians

the extent to which social media is just not fun—and there's no way to consistently make it fun—is an underrated part of the problem with it as a format of communication

he makes this shit look easy

New pfp, done by me on procreate. First time I’ve picked up the pencil in a while! I’m out of practice

“London hits 'historic' clean air milestone 184 years early…a 'truly remarkable turnaround for the city's air quality.” Quite a leadership achievement for @london.gov.uk’s government! While nations talk, (some) cities act. And get results.

Been getting back into the sims 1. Perfect game

whats a word youd like to see someone wearing on a hat

At this point the main difference between Christmas as a corporate entity and Halloween as a corporate entity is that Halloween is for selling products to people who have a difficult relationship with their own family

We really *are* doing American Shōwa Era

Impeccable vibes at the Medford, ma Ocean State Job Lot rn

People like shows like Kitchen Nightmares and Undercover Boss bc we're starving for someone to come to work and chew our bosses out which is why I'm pitching Undercover OSHA and Undercover NLRB to HBO, who might give me enough of a budget to actually fund those departments of government properly

Magic is just cardboard funko pops at this point.

its working, keep it up

this is why we need to bring back shame there need to be consequences for being a huge asshole, there need to be standards for how you behave in a decent society the rules cannot be set by the worst of us

Some people here love to dismiss ‘sportsball’ but S. African teams being banned from international competition was an important factor in ending Apartheid because it made their crimes real for non-political folk.

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

im out with covid for the next couple days, though asymptomatic. so im staring at the screen in my room, mostly ....damn this really does drive you slowly insane doesnt it? im too Aware of everything. i need to do something with my hands. i need to do two straight hours of dishes

Though you may not say Doggo, you bear the spirit of the word

I'm sorry to break this to you Zoomers but based on my interactions with you, you're just Long Millenials

Fucking cackling at how demanding and threatening the lyrics to the hustle are when taken completely out of context from the music

great quote here. shoplifting is also a crime of convenience in the sense that it goes WAY down when you have no self checkout and have to have a worker scan everything. target just makes a shrewd calculation that THAT costs more in benefits than they lose in non-wage theft

It also feels notable that this behavior reportedly alienated all of Jahn's real-life friends. On some level it must be a coping mechanism for some sort of deeper depression or disconnection. These guys are falling an abyss and end up tumbling into weird corners of the internet.

You get the sense from these dudes (it's almost always dudes) that even they don't know whether they're being serious. They make political statements constantly, but mostly to get a rise out of other people.

It feels like this is becoming a more common mass shooter profile: Someone who's interested in politics but not as a vehicle to express clear values or a coherent viewpoint. He just wants to mock anyone who takes it seriously.

[every person who has read Simulacra and Simulation eagerly tunes into Mad Men, their favorite fantasy about a world where people make consequential decisions] Don Draper: if you don't like what people are saying, change the conversation smart people: haha wow that's crazy

one of the funniest things about our neverending hell politics is that the highfalutin lefty french theorists are completely right, but only one side understands this and forms its entire political strategy around it, and it's not the side that reads those theorists

if people embraced this strategy we would have never had a problem with adherence to masking

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

lmao. see, people hate on "defund the police" because both political parties dragged it, but they still support what it actually means

for me, being unemployed during this time, i also not only stayed out of debt thanks to expanded unemployment, expanded food stamps, etc; i also never really had to go more than 1000 dollars into savings. otherwise i would have been very deep in the hole/ reliant on begging people for money

Miya Wilkes, 33, from Dingle, had a feeling that her usual interview strategy of “just being herself” just wouldn’t cut it, for some reason – and so decided it was imperative to go method.

Watching prominent commenters followed by dozens of people I know say "it's over" because Jimmy Kimmel got suspended...like, they actually killed Medgar Evers, in defense of a fascist system that had been in place for decades. Imagine social media that day! Read history and have some self-respect.

Look, I love all our local political reporters ... honestly anybody who comes across the river is good by me. But also I think maybe that more reporters covered our cat mayor election than our real one, and that's maybe an issue, right? Right? www.instagram.com/reel/DOoPNic...
