Can we just go back to calling all of our infrastructure descriptively what they are? The Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel The West Side Highway The Interboro Parkway (sorry, Jackie) Hell, we could even go back to East River Drive

Still wild that Lindor never won a ring in Cleveland

Giving your sons names this similar and putting them in cute little matching uniforms is a form of child abuse

There’s something particularly unsettling about watching the MAGA-era kapos at work

There’s a rule in filmmaking that a movie should never reference a better movie. Kai Trump is breaking this rule, but for fashion logos, with her Louis Vuitton belt.

Asking the guy I just liquefied with my Ram Super Duty if his helmet fits

Imagine if NPR had actually talked to safe streets advocates for this story and learned how the solutions to drivers killing people is not, in fact, victim blaming

When did MLB start putting team labels on the champagne? Did the champagne company not want to do a sponsorship deal like the beer company? Is it actually prosecco? If the World Series goes to Game 7, are there two distinctly labelled team champagnes on standby? What happens to the losing bottles?

Put the Dumper statue at the base of the Space Needle, right next to the Niles statue and the Roz statue

It’s all culture war shit. Ford might as well say the cameras are as woke as the bike lanes.

Some news.

Why does this 11 year old, who absolutely has the best excuse to not know about Japanese internment (being 11), still have a better more intellectually rigorous response to learning about it and seeing the fact she hadn't been taught yet as a disservice than most adults I know in similar situations?

my most unpopular opinion is that it's a sign of defective moral character if you point blank refuse to answer phone calls from unknown numbers. it's not that hard to hang up on spam/scammers, and you are probably missing important calls!

Hard not to come to a conclusion that Republicans do not want information to be in the hands of citizens. Otherwise, citizens would not vote for Republicans. (Because their ideas, policies, actions are bad.)

Damn, it’s gonna be so bad when we have an antisemitic mayor in a few months

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

“It’s just fucking super Google that destroys the environment.” Today on COYOTE @soleilho.com checks in with an Oakland venue owner who’s fed up with AI-generated show flyers, to talk about what we lose when we normalize the practice (It’s not just braincells!)

I've very happily lived a long time here in what my southwestern Ontario uncle used to call "that goddamned Toronto". I like this article and its sense of tempered optimism. It's a sentiment that's too absent from prevailing commentary (and from progressive politics). Teenage Toronto for the win.

tiktok sounds like The Place to Be if you’re into believing stupid shit

The humble bicycle is such an incredible, miraculous technology www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/h...

It's nice to know that Chicago also has dumbfuck transplant discourse

this is actually my great frustration of walking around in new york.

You can hear Goldy losing his shit during the Astros broadcast lmaooooooooooo

The piss tank on the ISS is now 69% full.

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

“Some cities are ready to lead, and ready to pay, but instead they must laboriously build support from the hinterland before they can offer a service that city residents will always value most. This requirement makes no sense except as part of a culture war.”

Breezewood, PA is the halfway point of the 4 hour drive from Pittsburgh to DC. I’ve stopped in Breezewood…a lot. I’ve been to this Kabob restaurant, it’s great. The family that runs it is great. Immigrants are great. Breezewood is great.

When people focus too much on the cold, the salt, and the meal. Separately. youtu.be/FMmCJ6-uu3M

Assuming CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations, CVS tells me it will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription in all 50 states and won't require even self-attestation of a qualifying condition — "it’s up to the individual patient." No confirmation from Walgreens or Walmart yet.

I just Googled Breezewood PA for the hell of it, and that Taco Bell is now called Sultan Kabob Restaurant Breakfast Shop. If that's not a perfect encapsulation of the promise of this country, I don't know what is. maps.app.goo.gl/bLTm5s4yJ4Y7...

The one belief that unites Long Island Republicans and Long Island Democrats is that New York City does not have a legitimate claim to self-governance and the needs of the suburbs always outweigh the needs of the 8 million people who live in New York City. Jay Jacobs embodies that perfectly.

Sorry for getting personal on main, but one of the best parts of growing up is remembering how my dad used to complain about how Cardinals Spellman and O’Connor were both horses asses, and now that I’m an adult, I get to feel the same way about Dolan. We’re Jewish btw.

Dolan sounding like he’d be at home as a bishop in Franco’s Spain

Nearly 50 college instructors across #Illinois landed on #CharlieKirk's “Professor Watchlist.” @wbez.org reached out to all of them and found the list triggered hateful messages, threats of rape or death, and intensification since Kirk's killing. #twill www.wbez.org/politics/202...

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

We got our toddler the MMR the day he was old enough. These people are killers.

They believe this, in part, because it’s true about Donald Trump

Of fucking COURSE

News organizations need to stop calling “immigration judges” — executive branch employees — judges in headlines. Doing so does virtually the only thing a headline should never do: It confuses the reader.

A good day to launch a Democratic Party-aligned think tank devoted to attacking the ACLU.

They are literally canceling culture

I didn’t think fascism would be this fucking embarrassing

Very interested to hear @davidjroth.bsky.social’s thoughts on Ocean County NJ

A huge, monthslong data investigation from @NBCNews.com into childhood vaccination rates finds immunizations declining significantly. I was part of the dozens of journalists working on this story, which will be part of tonight’s NBC Nightly News broadcast. www.nbcnews.com/specials/vac...

Enthusiasm is bad, actually

I’m pretty sure that’s not urine

Old news, he already did 56

There’s a very strange bartender somewhere whose favorite SpongeBob episode is the one where Squidward buys SpongeBob a pie-shaped bomb from a pirate. This is the happiest day of his life.
