The internet has had stages chapters, always patchwork and often fractured. Shit is now broken. I make and weird websites. Where do I go to fund the non-slop, non-ai misinformation algorithm garbage chute, and instead remain in the cultivated garden and wilderness of the other internet?

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

Ben Rhodes flawed NYT op-ed, "This Is the Story of How the Democrats Blew It on Gaza," suggests jettisoning the "hug Bibi" strategy for "Hug Israel." Rhodes isn't just amoral and unprincipled, a national security advisor is now reduced to explaining the pivot is needed for political reality. (1/4)

I've gone to several of the UN COP conferences, their annual meeting to deal with #climatechange. A week ago, I was in Brazil at #cop30; this is my attempt to demystify what I have seen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM39... #unfccc

I spotted @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social in Belem, Brazil

Elise Stefanik and Elissa Slotkin need to do a cage match that only one can emerge from. These names are too similar and confusing. (Alternatively, one could change their name)

"Elon Musk is poised to become the first trillionaire in world history."

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Canvassing is the third space.

Responding to a question from @democracynow.org on Wednesday, during his first press conference as mayor-elect, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social said ICE agents who break the law in New York will be held accountable by his administration. "Everyone will be held to the same standard," he said.

This is my question.

What's fucked up is that @teenvogue.com read this and fired all their political writers. Somebody needs to hire @leximcmenamin.com asap.

Let those people sleep. They earned it.

Errol Louis just talking about the billionaire class's role in the Democratic Party.

Horror movie villains.

"New York City will elect a Muslim socialist mayor over my dead body" -Dick Cheney probably.

Trump ally Elon Musk endorses Andrew Cuomo

I think people who write columns for big newspapers should be smart people who say intelligent things instead of the world's biggest morons who routinely say dumbass things that get them mocked by tens of thousands of people for days on end

On Saturday night I click to take a look - the piece has nothing to do with what I wrote. This version changed my argument into a fluff piece on Muslims “belonging” – mentions of Cuomo's legal suport for Netenyahu, US imperialism, threats to Mamdani’s denaturalization etc all removed. 3/

Politics aside, Zohran is running on fumes at this point, he's clearly exhausted and endearingly funny. The future of the Dems/anxiety clip and the "are you okay" clip where he explains touching the sidewalk by saying "new York city," Wednesday, this man needs to sleep.

You have to wonder if anyone at the Nobel committee is having any cognitive dissonance listening to their "peace" prize winner, before going to Oslo to accept the award, doing all but calling for a U.S. invasion of Venezuela.

They tortured him to death.

Springsteen just Temu Dylan

I predict Plattner mimics Trump and Hegseth and just barrels through a few news cycles until the tattoo stiry fades. If his cover-up tat wasn't a dog but the phrase "I won't be a second Fetterman," it would be one less news cycle.

A White Christian nationalist pastor argued recently on a right-wing podcast that the Bible--specifically Deuteronomy 21, about how a father must bring his rebellious son to the town square to be stoned--justifies state violence against Black boys and young men. www.theroot.com/why-this-whi...

I just read the New Yorker's funny piece about their history of fact-checking and I've recommended it to colleagues (we take it very seriously where I work) and then I got this and, if I had a magic wand, I'd ask every journalist in the country to read it: "House Arab." bidoun.org/articles/hou...

@naomiaklein.bsky.social about to sell a lot more books.

So the NY Times headline is "NATO Says It Scrambled Fighter Jets to Shoot Down Russian Drones Over Poland," but we're going to ignore Al Udeid Air Base, host of the US Air Force in Qatar, and why the U.S. military, hosted by an ally, didn't scramble shit.

URGENT: When Medea asked Rep. Darrell Issa about Israel bombing Qatar, he refused to answer. Instead, his staff tried to grab her phone and then called the police. She was held for questioning and then, after this video, arrested.

I can tell you for a fact that all of his waiters at his table of success are tuned in right now.

You know, they call Saudi Arabia the New York City of the Middle East

Can someone ask Mayor Adams at his next presser for his opinion on Washington Post columnists being grabbed and bone sawed alive? Would he advise them to instead hire columnists as their waiters at his table of success?

Cuomo's scavenger hunt is Andrew just driving around the city, trying to "bump into" Bill Ackman all day

The Adams scavenger hunt is going to have stops in Turkey.

@katiehonan.bsky.social My entire thread is your photo of the inside of the bag of chips. When does it become your most seen photo ever?

the reverence for herr's chips in chinese culture dates back to the qing dynasty

Any politician calling to online nuclear reactors creating toxic waste that will poison everything for thousands of years for a stock market fad that will have deflated and disappeared before the first watt of energy is produced should be mocked, shunned, and tossed from the public square.

I would use a shittier version of any product, software or hardware, if it committed to eschew a.i. and surveillance. There is nothing that offers A.I. that interests me and I think we should demand the right to turn it off in anything that we use.

Pls stop what you are doing and read this entire report on Israel's murder of journalist Anas al-Sharif and five colleagues in Gaza City. "He characterized Israel’s threats as 'Silence or Death,' and he vowed not to be silent." It ends with his final message. www.dropsitenews.com/p/anas-al-sh...

Bombshell report from The New York Times reveals that President Donald Trump spoke directly to Andrew Cuomo about how to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...

They enabled genocide with the Kennedy center and the rise garden intact so I can't be too upset about that tbh

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell. In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Alternatively, instead of focussing on a list, imagine Dems saying "Trust Women," and holding several days of hearings (they don't have to be congressional, they could be in hotel conference room streaming live on YouTube) questioning Epstein survivors about what happened, how, and who they saw.

This is Hochul's mayor. This is the landlords' mayor. This is the police's mayor. This is the "capitalists' panicking about Mamdani"'s mayor: www.thecity.nyc/2025/07/24/e...

If five top former nypd officials are accusing Adams of enabling police corruption for personal gain, what is Tisch's response? Is there reason to believe she has looked into it, changed anything, put a stop to anything, or is simply standing by Adam's claims of innocence?

The city's landlords and billionaires are panicking at stopping Mamdani. Any union, church, or Democrat has to answer for why they would get in bed with this shit show.

The same landlords who paint over an electrical outlet to justify jacking the rent are now telling themselves they can renovate Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo's reputations.

Andrew and Eric jealously watched the Zohran and Brad bromance and are trying it for themselves, but no one told them November isn't RCV.

If you're a deeply flawed candidate with high negatives and a massive ego in line to split the vote in November, Stay In Line!
