Last night Trump said "I'll be involved with that" when asked about the Netflix/Warner deal. Today we find out just how involved he is. Putin would be proud. www.axios.com/2025/12/08/j...

Forgot to post here! Asked Mamdani for comment on the anti-ICE mobilization that sabotaged a major ICE raid last wkd. Mamdani described the action as people exercising their free speech, that he looks forward to protecting that right. He has not previously commented on the community defense.

🙌🙌🙌! What a W!

This is what we're doing to people "doing the right thing."

I think about Jimmy Carter, whose "beautiful mosaic" quote was one of the most impactful things I heard in my childhood, and then this fool, who can't see the beauty in anything he can't control or own. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/w...

The joy of humans doing cool shit together shown in this performance literally made me cry. youtu.be/PNmcF6eRE7w?...

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

🚨 NEW: A majority of Americans now support Medicare for All even if it ends private insurance and raises taxes. The tipping point is here because the ACA is failing to keep health care affordable. New polling shows a 50-point shift in just six years.

Just simply amazing that Democrats can now clearly see on video that an unjustified killing has taken place...while denying what was clearly being shown on video from Gaza.

The rhetoric today is nearly indistinguishable from Know-Nothing rhetoric about the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews.

Really letting the hood slip, here.

Oof. Hope this is a gift in a strange package for CP3. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

Went to a music business party and a politics party tonight. Surprisingly the polotics party was way vibier.

just realized the dingy West Side apartment where my grandparents had my mother and her brother is now DSA territory lmao

Trump ends the marathon cabinet ego-stroking session with a viciously racist rant about Somalians in Minnesota and Rep. Omar He calls them “garbage”, “we don’t want them in our country”, Somalia “Stinks”, they “contribute nothing”, and “88% of Somalians get welfare” (a lie🤥 )

Doesn’t this violate…*checks notes*… the Magna Carta? www.bbc.com/news/article...

So at this point she is a pariah, yes? No person who ever wants a shred of respect, or to be booked on any movie, TV or streaming program,or to be platformed on any media outlet, or to serve in any state, local or federal govt position, should have anything to do with this sadistic weirdo. Right?

None of the Top 5 streaming songs on Apple Music for 2025 were realeased in 2025. And none of them were by new artists. If you're in the business of trying to make hit records, this should either scare the hell out of you or motivate you to make something unique that has a chance to cut through.

The Trump admin is systematically firing immigration judges across the country for no reason other their above average grant rates. The goal is to transform an imperfect system which aimed for fairness into a rubber stamp mill, leaving only the “deportation judges” they want.

So we're shooting people of the cloth in the face now?

Not sure the "we're totally responsible for all the illegal murderings, except this one, which people are upset about, so we didn't order that one" is going to stick.

Yay! This was the best live show I've seen this year by far. David Byrne stays curious after doing his job for 50 years, and as a result David Byrne wins! youtu.be/PNmcF6eRE7w?...

Son #1 just called a notoriously unadventurous eater in our extended family a "food racist" and I cannot un-hear that.

Jersey City folks - Solaz, the new Meditterranean spot on Newport Town Square, is absolutely delicious and the hospitality staff is excellent. Highly recommend!

I stuffed myself on Thanksgiving, so gave the leftovers a day off and was going to make them tonight for the family, My kids ate almost everything in the last 36 hours, so that plan went to shit. At least there's some pie left (I think).

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin. New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

These were simple, fast and delicious. Highly recommend. cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1022...

When I was younger I would have read this and been firmly on the side of the Preservationists. And I always loved a good urban climb in an off-limits place. As a parent, I look at it differently. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/u...

I used to think that the worst part of being in politics must be wrestling with your conscience when you decided to approve the use of lethal force. So seeing folks who are gleeful about it really blows my mind. "I'm cool because I kill people" is quite the worldview.

You've heard of the Friday night news dump. Here's the Friday night of Thanksgiving wknd dump. For special circumstances, like when the faculty assembly votes 595-4 against paying to end a shakedown and you do it anyway. Link to agreement here: bulkmail.northwestern.edu/trk/click?re...

We're in upside down world. We're murdering people in boats to "stop drug trafficking" and then we're letting the high-level folks go.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

These folks saved my ass on many occasions, and one of my son's earliest memories was the free Coke machine, which he thought was the most amazong thing in life. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

Growing up, I used to be fascinated watching my Dad make pancakes at the holidays. Then it was my turn. It's now officially my son's job. Little things like this make life worth living.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water. What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains. And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

The science is not ambiguous. He knows he’s killing people.

Dick Cheney would no doubt approve.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

With all due respect, fuck Jim McGreevy. That fool didn't even show up to the Safe Streets mayoral debate.
