My bus is not very fast today but thanks to an OMNY reader not working, and the election, it WAS free

Wow only on Day 2 of Zohran’s New York

If we go on strike, our union of 12,000 workers are calling on customers to NOT BUY STARBUCKS. Sign our pledge to not cross a picket line and we'll send you local calls to action - nocontractnocoffee.org

Girl, bye.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

If Mamdani wins, then there will be no Christmas. Everyone will be converted and forced to pray to the Time Cube.

Colonoscopy prep has endorsed Andrew Cuomo

More and more people are talking about it and it’s time we discussed it very strongly: summoning the Golem to defeat Graham Platner

"HOW WILL ZOHRAN PAY FOR FREE BUSES" screamed the Staten Islanders who have a free ferry

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

Voter suppression (my Brooklyn poll site did not have the Halloween stickers)

For @forward.com, I wrote about something that has been bothering me: Why does all the talk about Jewish safety in the New York mayoral election not count sexual harassment as a threat to Jewish safety and dignity? forward.com/opinion/7791...

As an Ashki who loves a good lokshin mit kaese and knows my love of cottage cheese is controversial among other folks, I am almost impressed that they made a cottage cheese that tastes like how haters describe it

They really DO promise eternal life

Fall 2025 mood

lmfao a VP of the NYC *transportation workers union* is telling people to vote against Zohran because he’s too tough on car owners

🎵 Werewolf Bar Mitzvah Spooky scary Boys becoming men Men becoming wolves 🎶

(you can always recognize a place in which no one is feeling much or any grief for a lost loved one & death, dying, & everyone you love decomposing to bones is just a joke.)

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

I mean, Octavia Butler saw it. You live in the compound, or you have to fight for your own resources and suffer when you can’t access them. Parable of the Sower.

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

Wow, they do move fast, we only had our transit funding impounded THIS MONTH

I like the second part to this coda more, myself.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

1. outrageous and offensive 2. speaking as someone who's spent eight years running an organization with a very clear rule that "when the primary's over we get behind the winner, no matter what", I do not think centrist Democrats understand the pandora's box they are unleashing with this bullshit

I wouldn’t say “stupid,” I would say folks are encouraged not to think about what our food is and how it gets to us and whose labor and stolen land make it possible. Thinking back to the woman on TikTok who bought lemons despite having a lemon tree - we are wildly disconnected from our food.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

They’re the same picture

Healthcare mood

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

If I don’t have my lab results in 10 days I’m going to start wondering what exactly you did with my blood

Jumpscare

Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane Imao

so we should probably all be wearing a mask again this winter

I found this line from Peacemaker S2 extremely relatable.

This woman on my bus has a leopard tracksuit, plush leopard jacket, and rhinestone false eyelashes this morning, new icon just dropped

Look man I understand parental fears of severe disability and social impairment but if the science actually showed that taking Tylenol increased the odds your kid will grow up to be Ben Affleck in The Accountant then the eugenicists in our government would start a Super Soldier program about it.

imagine never having to hear hakeem jeffries talk again. he could campaign on that alone.

In this fragile world, Sukkot reminds us that safety comes best from solidarity, from making peace with neighbors, from being good hosts & guests, from sharing food, from remembering that we are small & precarious, from worshipping what is holy. Not from building walls and making war.

Happy birthday DPO

It had been in the 80s and so humid this first Brooklyn October weekend

Coolest and most expensive self portrait

While this is far from our biggest problem, the fact that it’s October 4th and Halloween goods are on clearance and/or cleared out for later holidays is so bizarre, especially since it barely even feels like Fall

Me, telling my Ashkenazi Jewish cat to stop eating plastic

hi it's me mr beast and today we're slouching towards bethlehem
