NEW: Mayor Mamdani announces that he has looked at all options and has determined he does NOT have the legal authority to arrest Netanyahu under the ICC warrant if he comes to New York, but the feds do, and he encourages them to do so. He adds that Netanyahu is NOT WELCOME in New York City.

the American Dream is now to be significant enough that there are betting pools on things you can control perfectly, in this case "presidential actions" in a week

lol lmao

Real Smoot–Hawley has never been tried.

saw a cold brew keg next to a twisted tea keg earlier and mentally invented the dark inversion of the arnold palmer. i call it the dechambeau

he should have called Trump before the match, to get advice on cheating without being caught

This is the first Monday in twenty years where I haven’t either been on paid time off or sitting down to work in the morning. It is hard to process how pervasive the capitalist drive to feel valued only for what you produce really is.

I think he got close this time without even trying, and believe that if Christopher Nolan sets his mind to it he can definitely make a movie that will drive Elon Musk right off a cliff

Australian broadcaster on hot mic after Trump crashes Spain’s World Cup trophy presentation: “They’re gonna edit him out of that”

I like how Platner was this singular irreplaceable figure and within ten seconds everyone was able to go “never mind this other guy is just as good”

If you have time this weekend, please check out the doc (~30 min.) my team & I released this week on Musk’s push into Greater Memphis with xAI and its noisy, methane gas burning turbines, data centers, broken promises & impacts on majority Black communities next door. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/16/e...

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

look, if your kid isn't focused enough to receive a day's worth of mothering in just three hours, maybe it's time to consider putting them on some drugs?

Emma Grede is, I assume, pronounced like "I'm-a Greedy"

They've had 22 crashes *with* safety drivers in only 12 months, including: 1) 2 minor injuries (1 hospitalized) 2) 18 property damages 3) 12 at-fault crashes (55% of total) 4) 3 tow-aways Human drivers are 3.5x safer. This is history's most elaborate dog-and-pony show. #$TSLA

i don't even know why the tate brothers were arrested and i can say with utmost confidence that they deserved it

has anyone considered listening to women

Ben Shapiro going from talking about Lindsey Graham's death and transitioning seamlessly into a ZipRecruiter ad read. Amazing.

As always: if there's any class of people who do not have due process rights, then *nobody* has due process rights, because the government can just claim someone is in that class and there's no process to establish otherwise.

A whole lot of people with otherwise progressive views suddenly get real mad when you talk about doing anything at all to address the scourge of speeding drivers killing people

gee Scott, that might just have been because you're such a swell guy

let's give the guy a hand, I'm honestly not sure Trump himself could make money predicting his own words

Congrats again to the number one downer of US war planes: US troops just kind of fuckin around and having an oops

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

Reminder: tomorrow or Friday, SpaceX will perform a meaningless suborbital test of Starship. It won't even attempt to recover either the booster or the Starship. The satellites it hopes to launch will never achieve orbit either. It is hopelessly behind in its Artemis obligations.

why just throw a rocket into the sea when you could include a bunch of satellites too?

if some is good, more can't possibly be worse

Right-wing media outlet the Daily Wire is reporting that in the aftermath of two shootings in a week, ICE has issued orders to its agents to halt all vehicle stops. /the Daily Wire's problem with this is that it would mean lower arrest numbers, which, tough. www.dailywire.com/news/exclusi...

You can be offended by his environmental recklessness. By the insouciance with which he violates the law. Or by his deep-rooted racism. Choose one, or choose them all, they're all Elon. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

a gritty reboot of "Blazing Saddles"

something important imo that isn't mentioned in the Reuters piece is the fact that, in response to the NAACP suing xAI, Trump's DOJ is trying to *take over the lawsuit as plaintiff* and "voluntarily dismiss" the case ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
