we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I love moments like this. Guy doing a trick he's never landed before, cause, what the hell, it's the Olympics, then stunned he actually landed it.

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

The 2025 Headline of the Year Nominees 🧵

"there's a new serif in town"

As a card-carrying old lady yelling at clouds on the topic of public wi-fi (and not scaring people about it), excited to see it at the top of this very good list.

Confused/conflicted about the ballot proposals? You're not alone! Check out our voter guide for explainers and why our members voted to endorse YES on 2-6 (we didn't take a position on 1). tinyurl.com/NKDVoterGuide25

Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

Anytime NYC DOT cancels a bike lane from now, on the 1st question out of reporters should be "How much did you get bribed?"

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

The new MSNOW backronym is so bad. I wonder what names they *rejected*.

NYT last year: We're no longer going to endorse in local races. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/12/b... NYT as soon as a candidate they don't like has a shot at winning:

RCV has led to a positive, substantive campaign with Lander and Mamdani acting as if they're in a buddy comedy about who loves New York more and Mamadani encouraging his supporters to donate to A. Adams. And then there's Cuomo, set apart from it all, fear mongering about a city in decline.

The Irish have had ranked choice voting for ~a century & the saying there is ‘vote til you boke’ (boke=puke)—if you can’t stand the remaining candidates, don’t list them!! Anyone you list, you might end up voting for!!

The new pope signed up for Twitter in 2011 with a Hotmail email address that he also used for a lot of other stuff, which is how I know that he's probably the first pope on Zynga and almost certainly the first pope on Tumblr

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it? 1/x

This protest zine was made by a student in the Grossmont Union High School District and passed out at the board meeting on Tuesday. The kids are going to be alright.

**A report from the front lines of the American male crisis. Costco, Supplements Aisle, Tues, 9:15am.** Dude next to me: "Do you know about this stuff?" Me: "Kinda." I explain what I like and what I look for. Him: "Anything to make the pain go away." Me: "Are we still talking about supplements?"

It's sad ABC killed what was left of FiveThirtyEight (538?). But it's journalistic malpractice to pull down the abcnews.go.com/538 page, too. Bonkers decision.

man ABC completely blew it on this. absolute fumble. it feels like it's been the end of an era for most of an era but this is kind of devastating anyway.
