"Chutzpah" has been defined as that after murdering your parents, you plead for mercy because you're an orphan.

From @nytimes.com: "On Monday, some Knicks fans along the motorcade route gestured inhospitably as Mr. Trump was whisked into the arena."

Lake Powell teeters on the brink of collapse, but environmental groups and scientists have found a silver lining: As Lake Powell recedes, the once-drowned Glen Canyon is surfacing and thriving ecosystems are emerging. https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2026/06/01/lake-powell-drops-glen-canyon/ 

A Tevrun "Fighter Supreme" on the E train. An even bigger/heavier model than the one involved in the fatal 59th Street Bridge crash. Weighs well north of 120 lbs., and totally illegal to ride in NYC. #bikenyc #visionzero

More than a half-century of plastic — everything from water bottles to deflated party balloons to food packaging to synthetic clothing fibers — have despoiled the Great Lakes and over time broken down into tiny, long-lived particles.

Was on a @citibikenyc.bsky.social going down Broadway last night, when this mofo passed within inches of me. Caught him/her at the next light, stopped in the crosswalk. See you at the TLC hearing. #bikenyc

Experts estimate the death toll from babies not receiving vitamin K shots may be greater than reported. More than 700 newborns died from spontaneous bleeding in their brains in 2024, a common result of vitamin K deficiency.

He lies so much he can’t keep his easily verifiable facts straight

One week after Trump started his war, he stated his objectives on Truth Social.

The Art of the Deal TRUMP: Give up your uranium. IRAN: No. TRUMP: OK. Open the Strait of Hormuz. IRAN: No. TRUMP: OK. What if we end our blockade, and you can charge for passage through the Strait? IRAN: Only if you give us BILLIONS of dollars and pull out all your forces. TRUMP: OK. Deal.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

I was quoted here about SCOTUS: theflaw.org/articles/cou... 💵🗳️⚖️👇🏾

HERE we fuckin go

Such an amazing scam that the bollard manufacturers convinced cities that these things need to be placed max 5 ft. on center. These are 5 ft. on center, 4 ft. between the outer edges, and they stretch on forever at LGA and presumably every other airport in NYC. A SmartCar is 5 ft., 5.5 in. wide.

You can't traffic in "Jews control Hollywood," "Jews control the government," and "Jewish pedophile cabal" antisemitic tropes and turn around and be like "lol I just mean zionists." That's 100%, straight up, right out of the Soviet playbook and not remotely ambiguous unless you're fucking trash.

Interesting how fascist republicans falsely claimed all Jan 6 terrorists were paid actors, undercover FBI agents and Antifa to pretend it wasn’t MAGA voters but now they’re okay with paying them nearly $2B in stolen taxpayer dollars. Funny how that works.

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

Worth paying attention to the evolution of climate denial Carney is innovating here. First wave: deny climate change is real Second wave: admit it’s real, but downplay its significance or ability to address it Third wave: reframe fossil fuels as a climate solution

exactly one Jan 6th protestor received proportionate punishment and she received it on Jan 6th

The job of the next Democratic president is to publicly wipe his or her ass with this document.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

The sheer basic cowardice of the most ordinary GOP Members of Congress remains astounding, even if it’s no longer surprising.

Someone is really happy about a slush payment for criminals.

Garland's DOJ did a pretty good job convicting the Jan 6th participants, but temporary jail terms is not what you do with traitors for exactly this reason.

Shoulda hung them all on Jan 7th.

What is an adequately "harsh" sentence for trying to undermine the premise of democracy? For taking matters into your own hands to disenfranchise millions of people's votes because they didn't do what you wanted? If you ask me, hell isn't hot enough.

Samuelsen has been trending this way for ages, and it should really empower Hochul, who doesn’t need the TWU at all for reelection in this electoral environment, to push for real MTA work rule reforms. Ditch this stupid 2PTO these turncoats are pushing.

With the greatest of respect to @kevincarmichael.bsky.social, Justin Trudeau bent over backwards for Alberta, and burned a metric tonne of political capital to build them a pipeline (to say nothing of orphan well funds, etc), all of which earned him nothing but new invented grievances in return.

“Certainty”

“The reforms I’m describing do not come naturally to me. It’s something I resisted for a long time, but I think if you look at what's necessary to reinforce democratic self-government in the United States, you simply can’t do that with the filibuster and this Court in place.” — @joshtpm.bsky.social

Of the 355 comments submitted by Box Elder County residents, 242 (68%) were flatly against the data center, 106 (30%) expressed concerns about it and 7 — just 2% — said they supported it. The Box Elder County Commission approved it unanimously.

For years, it was a given that Americans’ religious beliefs shaped their political views. Evidence suggests the reverse might be closer to the truth.

Gerrymandering, striking down Democratic districts as unconstitutional, canceling primaries at the last minute to redraw the lines, courts intervening only on behalf of Republicans. Heck, the SAVE Act hasn't passed and they're still getting away with it.

Republicans in southern states on how long it’ll take to destroy a century-plus fight for voting rights and Black representation

I should note that Doug Ford's expansion of Billy Bishop Airport from 2 million to 10 million passengers will increase UFP pollution significantly. And we have to stop building condos hanging over highways. lloydalter.substack.com/p/ultrafine-...

Pope Leo XIV gifted Marco Rubio a plant of peace. In return, Marco Rubio gave the pope a crystal football. The pope’s response? “Wow. Okay.”

Democracy wept

Beacon Theatre again, blocking off the bike lane. @galeabrewer.bsky.social please help address this

What is especially galling is that this saved zero dollars, since the cruise ships pay for the inspections. And now their industry is less trusted because of perceived health risks. Amazing lose-lose policymaking.

His legacy.

Absolutely. If you’ve read even one Sherlock Holmes story, you know that Jeremy Brett is the one who delivers the real goods. No one else.

So many everyday heroes coming out to contest everything about this corrupt moment. This guy is A++

We've had plenty of career politicians serve as Chief Justice -- former senators and governors, even a former president -- and yet none was such a nakedly partisan political figure in their role as Chief as John Roberts. He is a political hack and I'm glad hearing that simple truth makes him sad.

It is interesting how Trump quietly accepted the Gulf states denying U.S. military access to their airspace for Iran operations after blasting NATO countries for doing the same thing. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Neil Gorsuch was literally on Megyn Kelly's show yesterday to talk about why "young conservatives must have courage to stand by their beliefs."

Spacing is featuring a custom-made graphic showing the probable extent and layout of an expanded runway for jets at Billy Bishop Airport. See @Ian_Darragh's article "Jet Dreams on Toronto Island" for more details (and the upcoming part 2 later today). spacing.ca/toronto/2026...
