I love the solemnity of ascension

"Death, even in a form as shocking to Christian orthodoxy as self-murder, offends the bourgeois mind less than sex.” I read LOVE AND DEATH IN THE AMERICAN NOVEL (1960) and detected no lies @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social maxxpearl.substack.com/p/i-read-thi...

If you vote in NYC, you've probably wondered: "Who are these people running to be judges? Why doesn't it feel like I have much choice about voting for them? How were they selected? Why do many judges seem to be... bad?" May I present to you @hellgatenyc.com's latest big project: Courts of Contempt.

Incredibly proud of my @bloomberg.com colleagues, who won a Pulitzer today for illustrated reporting for the graphic novel version of an incredible, harrowing story about “digital arrest” scams in India. Gift link to the graphic novel, will thread the feature below: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Excellent reporting, alarming findings. Bloomberg's @dmehro.bsky.social et al found U.S. state government health websites are sharing people's personal info (sex, citizenship & race data) with tech giants via pixel-sized webpage trackers. Several states pulled the trackers after Bloomberg disclosed.

The kawaii microwaves are required to kiss your soul!

not a big fan of aging generally but i gotta say the opportunity to riff on the same bits with your friends for like 15, 20 years is unmatched. Some of these bits are old enough to drink.

I may as well reshare it myself 😇

Have you donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center in the past? Do you have opinions on the federal indictment over the group's use of paid sources? I want to talk to you for a story I'm working on for @theintercept.com! Signal: nhurowitz.30, email: [email protected]

Obviously insane to see my councilmember arrested at an eviction defense but honestly the fact that it took three nypd guys a solid 10 seconds to wrestle chi osse to the ground is such an object lesson in why leftists gotta lift

congrats to the onion, unfortunately no comedic mind on earth could top 'they're turning the frogs gay'

People on here will say anything. “I can’t believe the Mets lost.” Yes you can. That’s not true.

I applaud the Maine data center ban and also am a little disappointed we'll never get a Stephen King novel set in a haunted data center

Asking New Yorkers if they’ve been personally victimized by Santacon is very funny actually www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-h...

I have some questions about the design decisions being made at the Thiel-backed startup that, I guess, uses AI to vindicate dudes who get super mad online

BK scene report: old-timers are on the stoop before 10 with their radios, a pack of 12 grown men just rode by me on skateboards, 10-year-old bodega kid called me 'boss' and handed me a cup of ice. 10/10 we made it baby

further proof the only good thing about boston is boston sports :)

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Haven't stopped thinking about this for like a week www.scientificamerican.com/article/racc...

Sorry to report I have not yet managed to learn this lesson

Met two parrots yesterday at the local park, devastatingly bay area vibes in brooklyn these days

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

Strong contender imo

turns out hell is in space www.404media.co/artemis-2-as...

Theia struck Earth at just the right angle and speed to create the Moon. If it had hit more head-on, this would be an asteroid belt; if it had missed it's likely one of the planets would have been flung out of the solar system. We were probably less than 100km and 500 kph from nonexistence.

okay honestly, lol

My son Saxon is so based. [crowd, in unison] "How based is he?"

mavis beacon did not teach you typing so you could make such terrible posts

i hope folks pay attention to what's going on with Bushwick City Farm in Brooklyn - this space was a trash-filled lot before activists broke in 15 years ago and built a community farm that feeds hundreds of families every year. now it's been padlocked by the landowner after years of bureaucratic bs

oh weird i feel extremely alive for the first time in months, what's that about

Happy baseball to all who celebrate.

I love this one so much

Undersung benefit of having a vehicle in NYC is that you become intimately aware of the 193891209182 region-specific holidays the city celebrates every year, which is generally very nice, and also you don't have to move your car

2am Rockaway Weed Ferry is a good idea but it shouldn't be city run. The dollar van guys should just invest in speedboats.
