I always forget. Peacock plus sucks for the parade. Just use antenna.

Alright. Let's get this started.

The entire first hour of performances at the Macy's parade have been Black and Latino. Steven Miller crying in his mayonnaise jar right now.

Its funny how all the tech companies are all in AI by can't find any actual use cases. Here's one: Amazon basically has a photograph of every address in the country, be it the front porch, front door, hallway. Delivery photos that don't match should prompt the delivery person to check the address.

Guys, I think our dive engineer found the problem.

I love when the things developed with a "move fast and break things" ethos are integrated into every single system our society relies on, and our overall economy all at once.

It's been a work in progress, but I suspect I am less than a week away from being able to post a picture of the dog snuggling with the cats. They are so cute testing each other's boundaries right now.

It's incredible. Every single movie, worth the click.

Inbox: The independent union at Blue Bottle Coffee, @bbiunion.bsky.social, is on strike. “As of today, we have gone out on the picket line to combat Blue Bottle's bad faith bargaining and ensure fair wages and protections for baristas.”

I mostly only use physical cook books these days. Been that way for about 7 or 8 years. the first time my wife told me, you can't just cook the recipe, you need to scroll the comments for the corrections people recommend. I tapped out and said fuck it, I'm not doing that.

See, this is really starting to get to me. This article says Turkey prices are up 25% this year. I was JUST listening to NPR this AM an they said Turkey prices are actually own because of cratering feed prices (which makes sense, sort of because we fucked our farmers)

Nope. Not reading this yet. lmao. Bookmarking until like... April at the earliest.

New York is the Harrison, N.J. of America

NPR having a normalizing chat about starting a war in Venezuela right now. They are critical but not dismissive of the cartel ties angle. This is something that 70% of Americans are dead set against. They said Iraq once when rifling off a list of "potential pitfalls"

I watched the original 1930s Scarface this past weekend and it was really odd. Howard Hughes was clearly making a crime panic informercial with a painfully overt message. There is a newsman (clearly supposed to be Hughes) who appears for like 2 minutes JUST to give a long winded monologue about it.

maybe i am going insane

Hey, my kids' class had some sort of "disguise the turkey" competition for people to vote on. I'm not sure I get the lesson here, but maybe it is about the power of social media and parents' groupchats?? Vote here. I'm partial to number 26, but this is a Democracy. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I think instead of everyone asking sports teams to migrate to Blue Sky, we should just expand the bubble and start new sports teams exclusive to bluesky.

Puppy has discovered the tactile pleasure of chewing electrical cables. I get it, I bet they are really satisfying to chew. But I am concerned and she has got to stop.

"While it may seem to be a smart money move, it can result in a costly productivity and innovation lag for the economy." Good thing I don't work for the economy, huh?

Voting for Abolish ICE for the next one.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

Neither one of these guys is from Brooklyn or has represented Brooklyn at a local government level.

This whole thing smacks of gender.

For now. Poor Alma. A Brooklyn institution that is going to be wrecked by the new port of Brooklyn redevelopment (not a reason not to do the redevelopment!)

Brutal

Someone should do a wellness check on Stephen Miller.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

This has got to be the #1 strangest day of Zohran Mamdani's life, right?

This is what a hater being a waiter at a table of success looks like

Guy who left his wife for a college student while in his mid 50s says what?

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani should revive the DOT's plan to breathe life into Fifth Avenue with wider sidewalks, a protected bike lane, and a dedicated busway — which Mayors de Blasio and Adams shelved at the behest of powerful business interests.

Heat Pump is a terrible name that doesn't help the average person understand what it is.

I'm not 100% sure what this means, but it seems to mean Trump expects a Democrat to be president again, which feels like news to me at this point.

David Paterson is the only governor of NY I have ever met in person, and I haven't been elected to public office since. Really makes you think.

You could read this story as another awful pixel in a large picture, but @gwynnefitz.bsky.social connects the human reality of children woken by armed men in the dead of night, and the urgent questions confronting police and elected officials across the country.

if you prosecute alan dershowitz first, the rest of the pedophiles will be out an attorney

Read this.

Respectfully, I don't understand how this is so unbelievable to New Yorkers that we keep needing articles about it. de Blasio did it! THREE TIMES!!! This isn't some archaic trick Mamdani is trying to pull...

Some times people do that viral post where they ask what movie would you do where everyone but one actor is a muppet. This is it for me.

Tisch must comment on this, not to wax about Kelly, but to affirm that this kind of open racism is unacceptable in her department. If she waves it off, it's damning.

So good

Non sequitur anecdote. My pal worked for Little Ceasars in the late aughts and was on the roof taking down christmas decorations. The roof partially collapsed, and he landed on the manager's desk while the manager was sitting there. Everyone was fine, but the visual still makes me chuckle.

She has discovered the back yard fountain and can't stop staring at it. She is way cuter standing up on hind legs.

reminder

I don't really like the phrase primary as a verb used like its an attack on a sitting official. We have primaries. anyone can run in one. Just like it shouldn't be discouraged to run in a primary if there is an incumbent, that decision shouldn't be tied to the sitting member if you choose to run.

A panel discussion held today at an event I'm at was titled "Mud, Glorious Mud: A Dive into Dredged Material" Who wouldn't want to listen to that?

Aw man. The guy who wrote the squishy bender episode and the spoof of Rear Window died.

A new era of work from home begins.
