Walking into arbitration to challenge my wrongful firing by the Washington Post

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

It’s now a crime to forestall scurvy

"u look like u eat sand" is a great insult.

"Checking it" after you use AI takes just as much time as looking it up the old fashioned way in the first place would have dog. Just skip the middle part of using the fake quote machine and do the fucking job. Fuck you.

i can’t stop laughing at this fucking headline

Bigotry is so brain melting that some Tennessee rescue won't let a friend of friend adopt a dog because she lives within 20 miles of Dearborn.

first batch of California governor primary votes are in!

this court would authorize all-white primaries if it could find some facially neutral means to do so

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

Putting a pin in this for the first time a Bluesky group chat makes its way into a federal indictment.

My daughter Robyn would still be alive today if there had been a truely protected bicycle lane. What was the NYPD response to this tragedy? Ticket bicyclists! The box truck diver who killed my daughter? He got some tickets for vehicle issues, nothing for causing the death of Robyn! @mayor.nyc.gov

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

a friend took me to Clinton St Baking company a decade ago to have the blueberry pancakes and every blueberry pancake I’ve had since then has tasted like ashes because other diners just don’t use the right mix of buttermilk and cocaine

the people who protested the “Ground Zero” Mosque are today chowing down Dubai Chocolate Cream Cheese on a rainbow bagel at Liberty Bagels. Humanity is healing

maybe it’ll become more lovable over time but right now it’s kind of disappointingly cold for a president who gave us the greatest and weirdest most twee presidential portrait of all time

new york just letting chatgpt design its buildings now

looking at the portrait that Whitney Museum (the founder and namesake of The Whitney Museum) commissioned for her self and am respectfully saying awoooooga

happy pride month dudes 🌈

Go read the whole story, because this is just one small piece of it and it's worth fully understanding the disciplinary process, but I'm struck by this bad logic. Lying on the job can get you fired, and the guy probably doesn't want to be fired, therefore Supt. Snelling doesn't believe he lied?

One factor in the recent homicide decline was the Biden admin's clampdown on gun trafficking. Now, the Trump admin is pulling back on several fronts, raising odds that the flow of illegal guns will rise, with ill effects down the line. My latest @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/how-...

It is a useful tool that requires you to be a subject expert in order for it to be useful. Which is why learning ai first is very bad.

somehow epstein returned

why does this MTA ad make getting killed while subway riding look cool as hell

it has come to my attention that busytown is anti pig

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

sitting at a japanese speakeasy next to 3 irish heterosexual guys talking about the beauty of male friendships, new york really is one of the most cities 🥹

just landed in new york and headed over to the moma and guess i’m not going to the moma today

Lawmakers said ProPublica’s findings showed a need for more restrictions on officers’ use of chemical munitions. “We cannot allow another child to be tear-gassed by federal law enforcement officers,” one senator said.

what a concept: projecting strength and conviction for your ideals instead of fretting over what people interviewed at diners might think

I know about Kik b/c it was the hit new social media apps among the kids when I was teaching in 2016. I automatically assumed that Platner must have joined after Kik got stale and pivoted to something for older-than-college users but apparently he did join it in 2016??

putting the infidelity aside, running a campaign is how candidates prove they can competently manage a political machine and its people...Even if your political director quit on principle b/c of the tattoo, how tf did you manage to ostracize her so much that she's showing your wife's DMs to the NYT?

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Their new girlfriend is women

Pascal’s wager but for slop

hell yeah

Far from the worst thing we found while reporting on Lt. Daniel Miller, this complaint from a white man stood out as a particularly insidious way for Miller to push his apparent ideology: sorry man I have to give you this ticket because DEI. This stop also was not in his jurisdiction.

fellas is it gay to scientifically prefer the physical sight and touch of a man

I’d *love* to see splashy profiles of reporters who spend their days (and nights) where AI can’t go — the ones who haunt the court clerk’s office or the state house, who always have the police scanner on, who attend more school board meetings than the board members do.

“Irony of posting on [insert platform owned by tech oligarch]” God bro actually stfu

I can confirm that Da Pope got a Pope Chicago shirt! Big thanks to Mishkan for bringing it all the way to the Vatican. #chicago

a lot is going on in this article but my most gringo preoccupation: I can't get over the fact that if you say overtly racist things in Brazil they straight up put you in prison

as someone forced to read THE GREAT GATSBY, I concur that I was completely nonplussed when Tom Buchanan praises the racist polemics of Goddard (a veiled reference to an actual 1920s eugenicist). I would have finished Gatsby (and high school) had Tom been rewritten to be a Nick Fuentes subscriber

"AI-assisted writing is often the more readable kind" yes that is one effect of everyone passing content through the same standardization/simplification filter

if i were a multi trillion dollar company betting the farm on AI product, I would pay the Jets to NOT brag about using my AI product
