There's a joke in here somewhere....

Federal takeover of Penn Station could be Trojan horse for new Midtown skyscrapers Amtrak officials have said the Penn Station overhaul would be contained within the existing transit hub's footprint. Federal documents tell a whole different story.

Chris Christie is still trash, I'm not reading his @nytimes.com OpEd, I don't believe that anyone cares for his blabbermouth opinions. He can fall off the Earth for all I care.

Take Action on S4736, a new threat to the forest — Friends of the Drew Forest

"If S4736 becomes law, developers will be able to bypass a municipality’s zoning. In Madison, there'd be no need for a zoning change (from university to residential) for Drew University to develop anywhere on its 164-acre property, including the Forest.”

lady of sophistication @janky_jane Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario Andrew Beatty V @AndrewBeatty Replying to @janky_jane I once ordered a taxi in Belfast for a night out. The driver pulls up to my house and just says "yer not going out like that. Go back in and change, I'll turn off the metre." | swear I was wearing normal jeans and a normal jacket.

Matthew @MrWeir Replying to @janky jane I once wore a silver jacket to college, turned up late for class, said 'sorry I'm late', lecturer said, 'that's ok' then waited til I was halfway across the front of the full class before following up with 'trouble with the spaceship again was it?'. Replying to @janky _jane My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her 15:53 • 8/16/21 • Twitter Web App

was wearing my super-fashionable short trench coat. My friend took one look at me wearing the jacket and said, "Where are we off to now. Columbo?" Eoin O Neill @eoinjoneill Replying to @janky_jane Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes "furk me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80's"

Loic Wright @dufflest Replying to @janky jane I wore a suit with a matching tie and pocket square to my first day of work at an advertising company (I thought I was going to be in Mad Men I guess) and the staff sent around and signed a communion card for me with a fiver in it. Eóin O Coileáin @L20_MTN Replying to @janky_jane I wore a white, wool turtle-neck jumper to the match once and a fella in the pub said 'Where have you parked the U-boat?'.

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

Fucking monsters: Outside a Sam's Club in Cicero, Illinois, Trump's Nazi ICE Gestapo pepper sprayed a 1-year-old baby and her 16-year-old sister as they sat in the back of a car. 😡😡😡👇

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

& members of congress!!

Not sure if these are the Page One headlines WH was going for.

Fred Schneider is the musical equivalent of the title printed atop every page of a novel. Like, "Hmm...what song am I listening to?""Rock Lobster!" "Wait, which song now?" "Dead-beat Club!" "Now which song, Fred?" "Love Shack, baby!"
