I know no one on your TL has told you this yet, so let me be the first: I have arrived in NY and there is a lot of snow!

John Oliver effect?

Mamdani just spent ten minutes talking about how dangerous the situation is outside and how you should stay home, then announced school will be open tomorrow, lol.

General eyeballing of my deck says we got about three inches, so I guess those 3-6 inch predictions were correct. Paved surfaces are mostly clear, though, which makes such a huge difference.

Wunderground has changed the Baltimore forecast to one inch, lol.

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city. “This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

Twitter is owned by a fascist who deliberately manipulates the algorithms to promote far right messages. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Watching the closing ceremony, bittersweet. Maybe the Olympics were just the teeth we lost along the way.

So thanks to Meghan Markle's Fancy Jam sale last year, I discovered I love marmalade. What's a tasty brand that I don't have to order by the tiny jar?

It is truly *shocking* that people here attack an excellent reporter for *checks notes* quote-tweeting an antisemitic tweet, while adding her own insight about how the "Rothschilds" are taking your place in higher ed.

No quotes allowed on this but I mean it says it right there, they learned not to go to the airport. 🙄

you know someone’s mad as hell when they post the bluesky daily active users chart

fuck man ... Not progressive media...

Kash Patel: "I will leave no sporting event unturned in my quest to locate Nancy Guthrie."

This time it's "my friend the journalist" tho.

Due to forecasted inclement weather conditions, Baltimore City Public Schools will implement virtual learning tomorrow, Monday, February 23, 2026. Students will follow the virtual learning schedule and class links shared by school leaders and/or teachers.

I don't think the people who have elected Susan Collons to office for 30 years should be so precious in defending their decision making

We are at stage 1 and approaching stage 2

u ok, nyt?

Not sure if this is snow or sleet but something other than rain is finally coming down.

What is this, soccer? Pfft.

"Loneliness *is* a problem. I am inviting you to contemplate how frequently it is treated as a problem for men and only for men, to be solved by everyone else, by doing work on their behalf that can only ever be considered repair if they do it themselves." www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

Corporations: We are collections of people & therefore deserve the civic rights afforded all people. Me: Ok. May I talk to a person? Corporation: No. Never again.

Separate from all this, it's amazing to see the little upper west side blog that usually reports on the new ice cream store replacing the bank and bad dog owners, break what is now a national story.

I am afraid “never learn a hockey player’s politics” is as ironclad a law as “never learn a baseball player’s politics”

Amazing to me they are still selling tickets for these trains.

The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.

Anyway, let's get this press conference going, Mr. Mayor. #noschoolnoschoolnoschool

He thought about it.

People complaining that there is no decision on schools yet but when I was growing up, they decided early am on the day and you had to watch the scrolling chyron on the morning news to find out. Sincerely, Grandma

v early in Mamdani’s term in office but hard to escape conclusion that he’s causing a lot of snowfall

Sure, you lost the medal but let's face it, God doing a way better job keeping your land glorious and free.

K, I'm up, when's the big hockey game?

The miniaturists are ON IT

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

It's really depressing indicator that a common sentiment among teachers is that The Wire is the most realistic depiction of teaching in a TV show. www.reddit.com/r/Teachers/c...

Come at me, this is my rice cooker. www.tupperware.com/products/mic...

Watching the Gala and I super duper hope that the choice of American Woman for the US team was ironic and not an "Every Breath You Take was my wedding song" thing.

He got set straight, but I love that the hot guy from the best chocolate bar commercial ever once thought that it was written by Faith No More.

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Wow, no one thought to include the ASL interpreter in the NYC emergency management special jacket club?

And in honor of free speech, I'm putting up a poster-sized display of the lyrics to 2 Live Crew's iconic hit, The Fuck Shop, right next to the Ten Commandments in my Social Studies class

@craigatcof.bsky.social Any idea which ones? www.nme.com/news/music/d...

This is my first game on MASN Plus vs. watching it on MLB TV via VPN and the first big noticeable change is local commercials.
