Cross-filing backfires for some Allegheny County judicial candidates Call it the curse of cross-filing. As election results were pouring in Tuesday night, political pundit Joseph Sabino Mistick noticed a trend emerging in the Allegheny County Common Pleas Court race. W...

Seems I'm not the only voter who won't vote for cross-filed candidates who appear on the Republican party line. triblive.com/local/cross-...

also the path to this is not the Dems reaching out in conciliation. it is the Dems grinding the actually-existing GOP into dust until its leadership once again agrees that the bargain of liberal tolerance is worth abiding by

“His tone was especially unbecoming for an immigrant” is a stunningly fucked-up thing to think, let alone put out into the world. It’s nasty work, even by the Post’s standards

Dare we call this man a... hero?

Grandpa Nutmeg walks down the sidewalk with Heathcliff perched atop his head, both of them with stoic faces. A couple watch the duo past, and one of them says "I only know him as the 'Heathcliff on his head guy.'"

It's worth emphasizing how cowardly these thugs are. It's unprofessional and shitty to escalate a situation and start a fight, but these aren't even fights—if anyone fights back they're facing federal felony charges— it's just beating up totally defenseless people.

Telling how this devolves into conservative talking points about taxes going to fund social programs halfway through

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

This could be us if we weren't strangling the solar industry to help keep oil prices up

I picked up on the cognates of alpha-bet

This weekend I'm headed to Mexico City to speak Spanish, staying in an Airbnb partially paid for with Bike Angel points, in a neighborhood dense with grocery stores. I still only have three hobbies even when I do something that might seem interesting.

Two things can be true:

- We shouldn’t expect our audience to feel sympathy for us in the course of doing our jobs.

- Staffers in this White House act like middle schoolers and are beneath the dignity that the office once held.

When I started a new job, they wanted me to fill out a little form so people could get to know me and my entire personality was Duolingo, the Citibike Bike Angels program, and grocery stores.

Mexico’s President Presses Charges Against Man Who Groped Her on the Street

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

This actually makes him an insane person, by the way

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

for instance for someone like me being REQUIRED to share pronouns for some event or something, you are basically saying ‘okay you need to out yourself or we have some big conversation about technicalities of your gender very publically.’ i would rather you just assume wrong. much easier for me

If you ever wonder how un-democratic the Senate is, remember: more people voted for the mayor of New York than 49 sitting senators

Hard agree

make them answer for why they care more about checking a child’s underwear than whether you can afford your electric bill!

This is my precinct, where easily 95% of the population lives in brand-new market rate apartment buildings, i.e. “luxury housing.”

Sounds like a good reason for the next mayor to enhance transit.

AGENDA 2026: The New Mayor Must Revolutionize NYC's Streets - Streetsblog New York City We've already offered the low-hanging fruit that the new mayor could accomplish on Day 1. Now, it's time to roll up the sleeves for our big list.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has the chance to revolutionize the city’s streetscape, as other ambitious mayors did across the globe. Here’s how nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/11/05/a...

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Jesus, I’ve seen what Anne Hidalgo has done for Paris, and I want Mamdani to do it for us. Amen 🙏

Congratulations to mayor-elect Corey O’Connor, the next YIMBY mayor of Pittsburgh!

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.
