Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Here's the best composer-driven music released on Bandcamp over the past month.

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Wow Army is looking strong in Manhattan tonight. Don’t worry this is a college football post

these people need to log off. seriously. bluesky this, bluesky that, how about you look at some actual blue skies and get off the internet for ten minutes

YOU TAKE DOWN AN FBS TEAM, YOU GET A BEVEL!! HERE YOU GO AUSTIN PEAY

I could’ve sworn the line “Nobody puts baby in a corner” was from Million Dollar Baby and not Dirty Dancing but alas

it is an unassailable truth that burning the flag looks cool and no executive order can ever change that

The Framers made arguably one major mistake: They believed the legislative branch would jealously guard its power. They could not have fathomed that the legislative branch (Out of laziness, raw partisanship and a desire to keep their sinecures) would willingly surrender its power.

Spirit Airlines is like the public bus of the sky (laudatory)

wiretap recording: *15 minutes of noisy crunching and chewing* “ok now see if the envelope fits in the bag” “thank u mayor”

Bumping what I wrote the night he quit the Raiders Jon Gruden's emails made clear he's a racist, sexist, homophobe. That doesn't just make him a bad person (thought it obviously does!), it makes him a bad football coach, because you need to work with Black people, gay people, and women to win

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

again, what is interesting to me about this stuff — beyond the obvious fact that what trump wants is propaganda — is that it is grounded in a political theory which holds trump to be the sovereign will of the nation, who can impose his demands on every aspect of the nation's society

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

A regressive $340B tax on imports enacted illegally without an act of Congress. It's kind of funny how directly this parallels the complains that led to the American Revolution

The handful of people who don't realize this is a joke about the extremely popular film Ocean's Eleven reminds me that this is a very wonderful website.

Drive by a Top Golf and tell me that’s acceptable sight but a wind farm isn’t.

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

The nation's most effective modern streetcar system is expanding! Congrats to @kcstreetcar.org on all the hard work! www.kshb.com/news/local-n...

imagine how insanely useful a version of Amazon that didn't need to turn a profit could be. (this is probably one of my crank-iest opinions but idcidcidc)

Did you know transit is 20 times safer than driving a car? Each year, public transportation prevents more than 2,500 injuries related to car accidents. Take Metro!

Great stuff

I always forget Dr. Seuss did political cartoons before kids books!!!

getting in a fistfight because me and the boys can't decide if "making your robot talk like Hitler" is a Simpsons Homer & Mr Burns B-plot episode, a Community Pierce & Abed A-plot episode, a 30 Rock Jack & Pete C-plot episode, or a Data & Geordi 2-part cliffhanger TNG episode

I generally dislike people overusing the descriptor of “Kafkaesque” but this saga has been incredibly reminiscent of the plot of The Trial.

Also, LLMs don’t “love” anything. They predict what the most likely next word in a sentence will be, based on their training data. So if they’re predicting em dashes it’s because they were exposed to them when they were trained on edited prose by real writers

Zohran Mamdani received more first-round votes (432,305) than Andrew Cuomo received total votes after ranked choice voting (428,530). That means more people ranked Zohran first than ranked Cuomo anywhere on their ballot (without ranking Zohran above him).

renewables tax is out of the senate bill now

One of the central achievements of the Affordable Care Act was to *raise* the Medicaid eligibility threshold to 133% of the federal poverty level—because everyone understood that there are plenty of folks who couldn't otherwise afford health care even though they're just over that (arbitrary) line.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

andrew cuomo is emblematic of everything people despise about the democratic party and zohran is everything people want in politics, he represents hope for a better world

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.

The subway is not scary. Not even remotely. Yes, scary things happen on it sometimes. You know where else scary things happen? The highway I'm forced to drive on every day here in Houston.
