not gonna take pics of ppl in public but I saw a crowd of people carrying spiderman like this

i didn't even notice Melania, I thought they were being shown a model of the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Who Wanna Do Other Stuff Good Too

black-crowned night heron having a staring contest with a turtle. the turtle won (moister eyes)

performatively reading Frog & Toad alone on a parked tandem bicycle

It’s crazy that the Jaws mayor’s anchor jacket isn’t available for purchase everywhere. You should be able to go into CVS or Ace Hardware and buy Mayor Vaughn’s anchor jacket in your size for $5

TRUMP [dying]: Avatar. Think about that. You leave your old body behind and become blue. You become blue and huge and beautiful. You ride dragon

TRUMP: We’re bringing back the Taco Bell chihuahua. We have its bones, we’re cloning, it will be saying “yo quiero Taco Bell” like it did in the 1950s and 1980s. “Yo quiero Taco Bell”… YO QUIERO… and we are bringing back the Quiznos monsters,

do it. do it. gun it chief

saw my Maine dudes

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--how Holocaust deniers have long discredited the Final Solution being a concerted effort & high-level order. "The Jews in the camps all died of typhoid outbreaks"

"Listen, we're not on a studio set. We're not on the backlot at Sony. We're in New York City, and it's going to feel like it." for @defector.com, i talked to the team behind @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's campaign videos to learn their secrets (see: a lot of sincerity; and a dash of Tim & Eric)

it’s surprising how much of The Odyssey isn’t cyclopses and witches but just Odysseus back in Ithaca with a Groucho Marx mask on going “huh wow yknow Odysseus would’ve kept this place tidier. Odysseus would’ve wiped down these kitchen counters if he were here wow just saying”

Kojima never got the chance to scan Steve Irwin

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

When he was a child, Bruce Springsteen’s floor had a hole in it. A hole that went through the earth to China. And Bruce went there and became Chinese. And he’s going to make us Chinese too, with his album Nebraska

. @papapishu.bsky.social was asked if he had a bottle opener in his bag and he said “no but I do have a lock picking kit” and produced it

there should be a Jurassic Park sequel where they bring back the dodo. And the scientists are like hell yeah we did it. hey buddy

There should be a corner at Home Depot where a guy with a table saw will slice you off custom lengths of hot dog from an infinite hot dog coming out of the wall

Martin, it's all psychological. You yell "enterococci," everybody says "huh? what?" You yell "shit," and we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.

it's their birthday

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Steve Bannon just called Alligator Alcatraz a "congregation facility" which feels, to me, like what might happen if you threw "concentration camp" into a thesaurus

HANNIBAL: You spoke of rats. ERIC ADAMS: Rats have no place in our city. No swag. HANNIBAL: The rat scurries in filth seeking a crumb. Hated and hunted, he reproduces triumphantly. Is that not swag? ADAMS: Doctor Lecter, you have a lot to learn about the definition of swag.

Mamdani turned up at BAYO at Barclay Center yesterday and said he was going to fight to get Haiti off the travel ban and he said Haiti correctly

canvassing in this weather rocks cause you’re fired up ready to persuade and mobilize people and they open their doors to this

At this moment, as we slide deep into fascism, the Dems are once again circling the wagons around a sex pest to make sure A Guy Who Actually Believes Things doesn't win

Canvassed a voter who was skeptical of Zohran because of his youth but terrified for her daughter, who just enlisted in the army. She asked why would we go to war with Iran and why are we expected to pledge loyalty to Israel when we can see them committing genocide every day

Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

no… no, they can’t possibly be… oh my god, they wouldn’t… they can’t be… YES, THEY ARE PLAYING FORTUNATE SON

Crossword designers when enough people started identifying as “aro”

Thousands of New Yorkers march in lower Manhattan calling for ICE out of New York. Starting at Foley Square and organized by PSL, the masses have flooded the streets and are moving west. This demo is permitted but even if it wasn’t, it would be far too large for NYPD to contain.

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.

Blows my mind that just a year after the brutally violent crackdowns on campus protests at Columbia and dozens of other universities, there are people out here today trying to say that protests must be done in the "correct way" to avoid being demonized by the press

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I think Greta Thunberg is the best example of how there is no way of protesting that will satisfy the scolds. It'll either be called too aggressive or a self-serving publicity stunt.

stephen miller won't see your mean tweets about his appearance but your friends with lifeless eyes - black eyes, like a doll's eyes... and he doesn't seem to be livin until he bites ya and the black eyes roll over white - will

These protests and direct actions are not just symbolic. People are responding to masked kidnappers storming local homes and businesses to steal families. ICE is kidnapping children at immigration proceedings and separating them from their parents. They kidnapped a 4th grader from my city.

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social region9a.uaw.org/news/NYCMayo...

Couldn't make up a meaner parody of the discourse than the moderators asking all the candidates a breezy lightning-round question about where they'd go abroad as mayor and then seizing the opportunity to hammer Mamdani with follow-ups to try to force him to endorse Israel as a Jewish ethnostate

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up. Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food. Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

Good afternoon, Bed-Stuy.

Every time I see a clip of that Benson Boone guy I remember this
