I've been editor of Streetsblog since 2018, and I've never seen anything this egregious: nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

why did obama leave a baseball on the oval office desk

Geordi, Do you know why the holodeck is not able to create a Charizard for me to battle? I wish to fight one directly. Worf

Congrats to @shaytaylor.bsky.social; this is awesome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahGd...

For me, Sonic Frontiers is the best workout playlist you can get, that just happens to come with a big fun game.

Exactly. And shout out to editors specifically.

"the gold medal game intermission report, bright to you by Pokémon" was not something I expected to hear this morning.

I tried cooked radishes today and now wonder: why are these a thing? It seems to take all of the uniquely radish-y flavors and throw it away in favor of mushy vegetable blandness.

Heute in den USA (links). Vor 100 Jahren in Deutschland (rechts).

Passed the JLPT N4! Just barely! 😐 It's still my plan to take the N3 this year, but I won't pass it if I can't figure out how to learn vocabulary more effectively.

You can say Merry Protein again

On the second day of the new fares, the B train is well and truly fucked this morning...

7 Av B/Q

TIL turkey can be cooked from frozen. I thought the Costco directions were crazy but apparently it's a thing!

Threaten me with a good time, etc. etc.

No one is better at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory than Chuck Schumer.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

The idea that Nigeria's approach to dealing with terrorism might be superior to the US approach, does not compute in the minds of biased people. They assume that the US approach must be better. Similar to how biased people could not understand how Nigeria was doing better against Covid than the US🤷🏿‍♂️

Thank you, MTA person who decided to give B train riders a little joy this morning.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

A white man killed another white man, but Black people are catching death threats. So, instead of talking about white feelings again, I explored my own death threats, and tips for others who are unused to white America. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

My fellow New Yorkers, let's make 2026 the year we all ask, "Hakeem who?"

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

The conversation we’re not ready to have yet is that having empathy for a white supremacist is part of what upholds white supremacy. And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

WSJ doing WSJ headlines again:

ME, IN TEARS: you can't just say every single part of a computer system is a file UNIX, POINTING AT THE MOUSE: file

New York Post headline writers scrambling to find out if it was a ham sandwich.

Bob Clark, VP of marketing for Herr Foods, Inc., said the company was surprised to see it was mentioned in the press. “While we can’t speak to the details of the story,” he said, “we can confirm that our Sour Cream & Onion flavor is money.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/21/w...

This one's still on my need-to-watch list; last night I finally got around to watching High and Low.

One of my favorite stickers to bust out when I hear someone shit-talking Chicago.

EFF is always so proud to represent security researchers doing important work. Our Coders' Rights Project often works with DEFCON presenters, and two of our clients are presenting today about schools, bathroom vape detectors, and audio recordings. www.wired.com/story/schoo...

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

They made the primary consistency that this matters for the narrowest column of this chart.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

Holy shit we have yet another certified banger of the Mamdani-era, this time Hell Gate’s Adlan Jackson cornering Gristedes owner John Catsimatidis at an insane press conference he had. Only at @hellgatenyc.com!!! hellgatenyc.com/john-catsima...

ONE OF US

FYI

“Mr. Clinton said he was drawn to Mr. Cuomo because ‘We’re both sexual harassers who live in Westchester.’”

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

Interesting that I’m not seeing any reports of the “He’s An Asshole But The City Needs An Asshole To Stand Up To Trump” mayoral candidate doing any standing up to Trump re: the unjustified arrest of the sitting Comptroller

Listen, we're straight shooters at Hell Gate. We play no favorites. Like, say if anyone wracked up speeding violations in school zones, and then parked their car in the middle of traffic in midtown Manhattan. You know what we'd call you? An ASSHOLE. Here's one. hellgatenyc.com/cuomo-derang...
