That being said name another genre where you get a copyright page with a disclaimer like this

Something I find very impressive about Mamdani is the way he highlights existing programs and how they serve New Yorkers. I live in DC and the paid family leave here after my daughter was born has basically guaranteed I’m never complaining about city taxes again.

Am I going to hell

Growing up in Eastern Europe, this specific feeling was such a big reason why our folks wanted to leave their home countries for the West, in hopes that it wouldn't be *like that *.

"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking

When a Jew tells me that Jews, because of our history, have a special duty to care about all oppressed peoples, I say “amen, a thousand times amen.” When a non-Jew says the same thing to me, I say “fuck off, a thousand times fuck off.”

The Holocaust was not a moral lesson to make victims better and more ennobled as humans. I do not think that the behavior of Israel's government or military is in any way morally acceptable, but the idea that they should "know better" because of Nazism is placing an unrealistic burden of trauma.

I don't actually know where my grandmother's family was from before the war...either Lublin or Brisk I think

The city my paternal family hails from Odessa was once 33% Jewish during the Holocaust it was occupied by the Nazis and today is about 1.5% Jewish my maternal family hails from Lithuania where 95% of the Jews were murdered

tbh i do think that there has been a clear degeneration into outright fascism over time in israel, i don't really think it has remained a static level of bad even if i also think that liberal zionists tend to be delusional about everything that preceded bibi

Speaker AOC should invite Ayman Odeh to address Congress in 2027

me with the time machine, to my 1996 self: the year is 2026. the Pope is the only world leader you respect. you believe unironically that the cultural mores and sexual behavior of San Francisco are destroying America. computers were a mistake

TONIGHT, DOT will visit Community Board 7's Transportation Committee to present a redesign of 72nd Street that will make it safer and easier to get between Riverside Park and Central Park. Sign up for tonight's meeting to make your support heard: www.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi...

Just passed a guy drinking iced coffee out of an open mason jar on the streets of LIC; New York is back

Maryland is on the way to enacting a major change in its land-use policies designed to encourage transit-oriented development through higher densities on transit-agency owned land.

the pope needs to make sure that 50% of the college of cardinals is maga, to avoid alienating conservatives and not have allegations of liberal bias

right so that's called a crime

For many years people have avoided fucking corpses. Jeffrey Dahmer is taking a different approach.

Ngl when I was a teenager I didn't really expect to live this long. I had zero idea what I would do past like 18

this is because one of the primary aims of liberalism is to ameliorate the harms of racism and one of the primary aims of authoritarianism is to intensify the harms of racism.

Everyone told me to watch The Fifth Element. Frankly, I don't get all the hype around Boron.

having me a little brewski wewski while I watch TV

Them: I love ABBA Me: *quickly slamming the door shut on IMA* oh yeah me too

Now we need to get New York City to expand Summer Streets to more than just a few weekends each year. In fact, rebrand it as "City Streets" or something like that and have it every weekend.

"I'd like to gavel in today's board meeting of the American Medical Association...."

a couple of weeks ago I decided that "brent crude" has a cooler cousin called "brent suave" and now I cannot unthink this

It's obvious what happened. Donald Trump depicted himself as a doctor, and to get into the "doctor" role he convinced himself that he is Jesus

i mostly just assume that when ukrainians have their first kiss they say "glory to ukraine" to each other now

Happy Praying Mantis Appreciation Day, to all who celebrate… CHILD PRAYING MANTIS: Dad, who are we all praying to exactly? DAD PRAYING MANTIS: Depends which religion you belong to CHILD: So not all people follow the same religion? DAD: No, son… we’re in sects

north carolina, or as the locals call it - "norcal"

This is why rainbow capitalism is good, btw. High levels of rainbow capitalism means the RDI is flowing in a positive direction. Rats flee a sinking ship and all that.

Cardinal Reina, the Pope’s Vicar of Rome: “Speaking on behalf of the people of God in the Diocese of Rome, I join them in expressing solidarity and reaffirming our full support for our Bishop, Pope Leo XIV, in the face of shocking attacks on his teaching of peace.”

By the late 1800s, 'pontificate' was also being used derisively for lay individuals who spoke as if they had the authority of a member of the clergy. One might consider this sense of 'pontificate' to be the spiritual forerunner of 'mansplain.'

Idk if I've ever mentioned this but the unironic legal position of the Baltics on the Soviet occupation is that we were never republics of the Soviet Union, as we were never legally incorporated in line with our own constitutional norms.

I didn't really understand sedevacantists until 2024, when the United States elected a president who is not eligible for the office due to constitutional limits on those who have engaged in insurrection becoming officers of the federal government

I use a copy of Word 09 thats been on a computer without internet access since like 2014 and sometimes when I'm feeling evil I'll watch it try to connect over & over in vain with the mothership to download AI updates because watching it squirm and strive to enshittify amuses me, I am sick like that

Reporters should ask Trump to describe the pope's job.

Since everyone is talking “Antichrist” in relation to Trump, can someone explain to me what it is? Is it like an Amalek situation? I just want to understand what everyone is talking about. I’d say explain it to me like I’m 5, but a 5 year old Christian probably knows more than me 😅

You'd think that "the clearly deterioriating elderly president attacks The Pope and compares himself to Jesus in an unhinged, late night social media rant" would be a thing that political reporters would perk up about & realize theyd need to cover differently, but I guess not.

Has there ever been a sociolinguistic study of how English translations of European diplomatic correspondences and releases vary by country? Or a corpus of diplomatic vocabulary of sorts?

SECULAR LIBERALS: ".....and so you see, under the definition of blasphemy as put forward in the Bishop of Rome's 1687 encyclical 'De Viis Malis' and the Chalcedonian formulation of the Nicene Creed, Trump is, in fact, a heretic!!!" AMERICAN CHRISTIANS: "God says its OK for me to drive drunk."

o no a head of state does not like the pope o no an unprecedented situation for the catholic church o no whatever will the vicar of christ do

All of this will end with jd standing barefoot in the snow.

Get his ass, Your Holiness

Reporting in from Mamdanistan: Can confirm that there are way fewer potholes than Detroit!

Has anyone asked the Pope what he thinks about land use? Is the Pope weak on building codes? Does Pope Leo believe you can have a single stair to heaven?

Watching Brazil, South Korea and Hungary get rid of their authoritarians

It’s like how I, a short, Xennial, klutzy woman, am WEAK ON NfL FOOTBALL.
