I’ve been circling a cursed thought for a while and it’s time to let it out: These guys are Disney Adults for fascism.

1. That’s right 2. For a real challenge, make me a map showing the Leaders and Legends

It's a good day for bird fan solidarity.

If you're wondering how rare the Yankees' ninth-inning Tuesday night was... it's never happened before 👀 (H/T OptaSTATS on X)

No disrespect to the local YIMBYs who fought for something better, but sheesh, this Chicago ADU ordinance is bad. nextcity.org/urbanist-new...

Quarter pounder > Big Mac.

North by Northwest really mistreats Indiana by using the Central Valley as a stand-in. Might as well have mountains in the background.

He also changed the way reading was taught in public schools, and test scores rose a lot as a result. It was a personal issue for him and he turned things around surprisingly quickly. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/n...

Eric Adams was a good mayor on housing. I wish he focused more on some of the details (e.g., his undoing was related to delays in FDNY doing the fire alarm inspections needed to open new buildings), but he got the big picture like no mayor I’ve ever lived under, and I’ll miss him for that

The waiters said I couldn’t do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the waiters

JCrew dares to ask the question, "are the Badgers cool?"

If the president targets you for frivolous prosecution, you need to pay your own legal bills but the taxpayer bears the cost of the prosection. What kind of free market person thinks there should be zero safeguards against this?

Wait what

The secret is that policies that give massive symbolic wins to progressives while functionally banning housing is that they’re working *exactly* as intended.

Some sort of “limitations and local review” and a union labor requirement for an ADU (lol) sounds like, in effect, Chicago has chosen to not allow ADUs

Class 1s need to be more aggressive about finding new kinds of traffic. www.twz.com/nuclear/indi...

It seems a little rude for Buck Mason to knock off one of their recent collaborators the following season. Looks nice in person and nearly sold out already.

“a catcher has hit 60 home runs” is an all time great call

That seems like it might be hard to hang off a purse.

Reëlect the mayor!

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

Now 58 minutes into his scheduled 15-minute address to the United Nations, President Trump is excoriating world leaders for "canceling my dear friend, and let's face it, a very beautiful woman, Carmen Sandiego" and demanding that the detective agency and its "terrible woke Chief" be defunded

Does Sweetgreen have a grudge against Arkansas?

I guess this is the future YIMBYs want.

Leaked memo from Amazon that warns existing H1B holders to avoid travel back into the USA after the September 21st deadline - their lawyers evaluated the new executive order as not just affecting new applications

It's amazing to see English becoming the native language of people who were never colonized by English speakers.

ABC doesn't want to be in the linear television business anymore because linear television is on its way out. Any pretext to dump salaries and wind down programming, they will take. I've been saying this for years. Nobody is prepared.

I will bet money that the urban geographers of 2050 will be claiming that Scott Wiener redlined low income neighborhoods and prevented investment in housing.

Looks like my Walgreens is getting more permanent armor than last time.

The previously sensible advice to never use ChatGPT for search needs to be rethought - GPT-5 in thinking mode is shockingly good at running searches now simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/6/r...

Contrarian counterpoint: one-way streets are easier to cross on foot, safer by eliminating left turns crossing oncoming traffic, allow high average speed with low top speeds through green wave timing, and enable intentional Euro-style circulation planning.

Intensely critical support to Eric Adams

Conveniently, Metra is expanding the weekend UP-N timetable to hourly* on September 20th! metra.com/newsroom/met...

As someone who uses social media for both my jobs—to spread my writing and find an audience for it, and to spread the message of an advocacy organization—I care! Having places where discussions can happen and good information can spread is important to me, which is why I want this place to succeed.
