2025 was shit, and now you can get it in stocking form. It’s the perfect combination of joy and disappointment. I made it just for you. www.mulebooks.com/store/2025-s...

This is absolutely brilliant and I have already ordered mine and also will be ripping this idea off mercilessly, thanks Mike.

This week’s newsletter is about not foisting your taste on others, with a sidequest about male friendship: buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

Just city after city where they roll in expecting to be greeted as liberators. On the day of Dick Cheney's funeral let's just remember that that never works.

go fash, lose cash ✨🌈

they're allowed to bring this up now that Pelosi is retiring lol

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Now THIS???? is a white man! this is how you white man!!!!!!!!!

I’m howling.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Working on something very stupid.

It was a crazy busy in the bookshop today. I took almost four times what I'd expect to take on a normal Weds. I guess the ramp-up to Christmas has started, which is good news. Independent bookshops make around a third of their yearly income over the seasonal period, so remember to shop local!

I want these ghouls the fuck out of my city

Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron has launched a free digital archival library of literature by Black and brown authors, poets, and artists. Readers can borrow rare and out-of-print books for up to 45 days

Hey idiots, maybe don't buy a condo on Mission Street if you don’t like noise. And maybe don’t move to a city if what you’re really hoping for is the suburbs. missionlocal.org/2025/11/biss...

Extra points for the butcher's MacBeth handwashing gestures: 'Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine Making the green one red.'

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting. As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

It's legitimately impressive to act with this much bad faith.

AI centrists: “We need to have a nuanced conversation about AI.” AI boss: “We will literally shit on your head.”

lol I fucking knew that little shit wasn't to be trusted. Avoid the new Vine like a plague, they just want a pure dataset to scrape.

I don’t want to hear about norms, I don’t want to hear about looking forward not back, I don’t want to hear about “bipartisanship” I want the filibuster gone, the court packed, new states, and a top to bottom cleaning of the federal government that ends with a lot of people in jail

Oh, so now it's fine to have a war on Christmas

We need more honest language: Theft Tech (AI) Grift Tech (crypto) Death Tech (automated weapons and military surveillance)

I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.

May I suggest living in an apartment building with legal immigrants and citizens of hispanic ancestry, and waiting for the nice masked men with the tear gas and guns to show up? Then you can share your perspective.

The Democrats will accept Marjorie Taylor Greene into the tent before they accept Zohran Mamdani.

Go birds. Fuck ICE. Free Palestine.

If it's so smart, why do people have to be so good at "prompt engineering".

If it was pitched as “AI will allow scientists to do their tedious work more efficiently, so they can focus their energy where it’s most needed.” I’d be a little more open minded. But their language makes humans seem unnecessary, at a time when I can’t even get a correct AI Google summary.

It can’t. But you know what can? Science. Let’s fund scientific research instead of this dumpster juice.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Fuck these ghouls.

We need to stop referring to AI as a tool. A tool is something that helps you solve a problem or complete a task. AI creates more problems than it solves. It’s more virus than tool. Every time we call it a tool we’re insulting hammers and guillotines, which actually solve problems.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV will share a meal this Sunday with Alessia Nobile and four fellow transgender Catholic activists, during the Vatican’s Jubilee of the Poor — marking the most significant public encounter shared between a pope and the trans community.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Fuck AI and everyone who’s out there hyping this shit. www.wsaw.com/2025/11/12/g...

yeah it's honestly so wild! to me that the new york times circa 2019 is writing articles about how the internet is making kids trans meanwhile their writers are emailing The World's Most Well Known Child Sex Trafficker like "heyyy buddy,,,, how's it goin friend!"

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Workers with @kickstarterunited.org end their six-week strike victorious, enshrining 4-day work weeks and salary floors while also adding protections against gen AI replacing human labor.
