This week's @unbreaking.org update on immigration is *also* an update on data security because the administration is using immigration enforcement as a way to trial and operationalize a full-on surveillance state.

This weekend! Celebrate this history-making week in NYC w/songs + games + ME at Dare to Karaoke!

"Conservative feminism" = "tradwifery"

Lots of federal workers who have lost their jobs. Maybe this is you.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

There's no on my train car at the moment - which means a rare maskless subway selfie!

Sandwich Guy v ICE jury deliberations

Reminder: if you're a white person in NYC & feel "weird" b/c Zohran Mamdani speaks to & includes *all* New Yorkers in his messaging it may feel like he's diminishing you. He's not! White people are used to constant eye contact & attention - so even a slight decentering may feel like "oppression"

Is there a shared Google doc tracking "Promises Made/Kept" by trashbags who threatened to leave NYC (or this mortal coil) if Mamdani won the mayoral election?

No matter how timely or iconic or funny your images posts are, if you don't include Alt Text & I don't have time to repost them w/Alt Text added, I just hide 'em from my timeline

Mamdani naming members of his transition team at a live presser on Nov 5th. -Mamdani's named transition team members = all women -Lina Kahn (!!!)

It really is the best election map. Thank you, Center for Urban Research @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social! www.urbanresearchmaps.org/electioncomp...

There are oodles of Bsky Blue No Matter Whovian doomscrolling centrists that need this to seep into their posting-is-praxis hearts, minds, and bones.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

If Cuomo left town in his Dodge Charger immediately after his concession speech, he should be in Boca Raton before 6pm tomorrow

Can't believe Cheney and Cuomo both rested in piss on the same day. Hashtag blessed

LETSSSS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW YORKKKKK

Non-stop refreshing my bsky timeline for the joyful noise of NYC mayoral coverage like a living Sickos meme

for games its especially important to understand the legacy of what games have historically been called not-games (i.e those made by non-men) and that when you call a game "not a game" youre building on that affect; its the equivalent of calling art "degenerate"

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

I jokingly say that the title of most podcasts should be "Two Assholes Talking" and then they just... skeet it out

I cannot

This looks rad and I just backed it and you have until Dec. 4th to back it too 🙌

I early-voted on Halloween to get the bonus sticker 🎃 It's Election Day & if you haven't voted yet, pls do it! Ignore the news, the takes, the polls, the pundits, the drive-by chatter. Don't take anything for granted. Vote. Vote. Vote.

Dick Cheney Was Doing War Crimes in Exactly the Right Way, by Ezra Klein.

It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.

My "Rest In Piss" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

In a world where I, a sexy game show host, exist, I call bullshit 😊

Was honored to help @chana.bsky.social edit this deep dive compilation of Curtis Sliwa lore gathered over weeks. There is so much jaw-dropping material, we simply could not bear to make it shorter than 76 slides.

I wonder how many entries they'll have to toss - because the fine print says "must live in Minnesota within 150 miles of the Target Center (the Timberwolves home court)." Still, that Catan x T'wolves custom jersey sounds sweet.

Vogue swallowing up & defanging Teen Vogue by nuking its political coverage + writers is a Bari Weiss-esque extinction-level event. Not looking forward to fungible 1% porn, bimbo tips & lowkey tradwife grooming in the form of 'how to land a man' quizzes 😶 www.vogue.com/article/teen...

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

My burlesque friend Dandy Dillinger is supernaturally hot and is also an accomplished baker. If you're NYC local you can pre-order a custom holiday pie for Thanksgiving! Details at her site: www.ladybakeryparlor.com/gallery

Beyond the punchlines, "Elvis is alive" was a pre-internet conspiracy theorist's rabbit hole that largely synced w/race. Oodles of white people lustily worshipped a rock-n-roll hero who ganked his sound fr lesser-known Black music icons. Living Color said it best: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nvp...

Copies of NIGHTSHIFT's deluxe edition now available on the designer's website (Exotic Cancer). They're unclaimed copies fr former KS backers shipping fr the US. Nightshift has an in-print retail version but collector's ed. is OOP & will not be reprinted. www.exoticcancer.com/products/nig...

Remembering the Bsky early adopter Frazeesexuals parasocializing him to the point of disassociation, and how badly that mood has aged

if you see that AI-generated video going around, of some NYPD officer telling an ICE officer what he’s doing is against the law, one straightforward way to tell it’s AI is this will literally never happen

Mamdani is not a radical. He has run a tight, smart, fairly standard local campaign. He'll probably get 20 or 30 percent of his platform if he's lucky. The one radical thing he's done is told the Times to go to hell. He has campaigned every step of the way like he doesn't need them, and he's right.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

If the best candidate you can get to oppose the fascists is adopting the same positions towards minorities then you're not interested in fighting fascism.

As always: the second best time to mute/block "Radio Free" Tom Nichols & his parasocialized dittohead-lite base of centrist reply guy dad bods is now.

"Today I learned about fascists" revelation aside, Brianna Wu needs to kill/defund the cop in her head if she wants forgiveness - esp if she wants to ever truly accept herself as a trans person. Otherwise, her sorry not sorry apology is merely Attention Econ 101, borne from her toxic narcissism.

Saturday night plans

The only time Meta's algo is (barely defensibly) tolerable is when it bubbles up a steady timeline of my friends' Halloween costume pics until Thanksgiving

leg and foot worship gets me going without fail

Brianna Wu can apologize and be contrite and pledge to make amends, but she can do that all on her own, offline and isn't entitled to a single trans person's forgiveness or empathy as she does so. Or: what Katelyn said.
