"For all the hysteria, when I look at Mamdani, I didn’t see some radical departure from the past. I see him as the heir to an old and venerable Jewish tradition – that of Yiddish socialism – which helped build New York." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM MAMDANISTAN!

Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not

We fuckin did it friends

eric adams just went on tv and when he was asked what he’s going to do tomorrow he said “travel to some countries”

Whatever man, going into 2026 shamelessly hopeful and romantic, and with appreciation for all the people who have made it possible to feel that way. Nothing can erase the harms but fuck the fascists, free Palestine, and let’s go New York City

If Eric Adams doesn't leave in a hot air balloon what the hell is the point

oh NO

happy new year to all my extremely online friends

As he should

They've started replacing the "welcome to the borough" signs so they say Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani instead of Mayor Adams.

theyre storming kindergartens because there was literally no price to pay for calling in bomb threats to children’s hospitals in 2023…its only upside for them

they wouldnt be doing this had the media shamed them for “theyre eating the pets” instead of treating it like a legit campaign issue. they wouldnt be doing it if the democratic leadership had made them pay a political price for gutter racist trash

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

i read this and i just see a lazy person with a skill issue

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.

Omfg

18 years for having a stillbirth. Medical testing showed meth but a med examiner testified he couldnt say it was the cause of death. She’s 1 of at least 20 Alabama women who suffered miscarriage/stillbirth then faced sentencing as severe as for murder, rape or kidnapping. www.al.com/news/2022/09...

It's very funny that people remain in denial about this

The funny thing about the punditry class (Stewart, PSA, but many others) being jerks to people about wearing masks is that it is fueled by American cultural performance they aren’t even aware of. It made me think about the anti-seatbelt law people in the 1980s.

Jesus!

It’ll be so satisfying when Brad wins

At what stage of heated rivalry withdrawal will the hordes get into Shoresy? Hopefully soon

Yes, based on my entire life experience I fully expect centrists to fully embrace the lady who took Maining Zangief way too seriously

“The family reluctantly returned home in August… two months after a consultant they hired found lead — a dangerous neurotoxin — inside the house. After their insurer, Farmers Insurance, dismissed those findings and cut off payments for their hotel, the Van Nesses had little choice but to return”

I’m crying in a Dunkin rn because the radio just played Fast Car and Dancin In The Dark back to back. Folks it’s Monday morning. We CAN’T be bringing this energy to the week.

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

The thing that’s particularly galling about this is that most disabled people I know have given up getting anyone outside of us to mask. We mask ourselves and try to get on with our lives, and y’all still can’t keep our fucking names out of your mouths. Just running through there rent fucking free

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Yes, this is my great security system. If you’re small and have good friends you can get past it to destroy me

Dr. Houry led CDC's suicide research + prevention work for as director of the injury center before becoming CDC's chief medical officer (and eventually resigning in protest). She is an accomplished ER physician & currently works with the Governors Public Health Alliance in CA. I trust her expertise.

"Never tried therapy before but this is probably it," good fucking GOD.

The death of any child is tragic. We always think it will not be my child, they are healthy. Severe influenza can be unpredictable & deadly. Getting vaccinated considerably reduces dz severity and deaths. Please make sure you are vaccinated & your children are too. people.com/alabama-boy-...

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Jon Stewart is actually really bad on public health stuff. He promoted COVID lab leak conspiracy nonsense, giving liberals the permission structure needed to embrace it. This fits squarely in with that. Dude clearly internalized a lot of bad info.

Uggi!

Oh no

Trying to do the perfect album from the 90s thing but it took me like 3 days to decide among magnetic fields albums

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides

The number of men who ask me if I know how nice my guitar is…smh

babe, you wanna stay in and just watch that video of the dude kicking himself in the dick with a robot a few hundred more times?

I will see you there also wearing one because no thank u My neighbors just had it…not fun

To “yes and” here, I’ve been thinking more that these kinds of people hate GLP1s and IVF for the same reason. They see fatness and infertility as punishment for Bad Behavior (especially for women) and treatment as cheating.

this fellow has broken loose from somewhere; he’s talking about something and somebody we don’t know

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls
