When Andre cries I cry

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

As you see Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Stephen Miller all endorse Andrew Cuomo, just remember that Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — never ended up endorsing Cuomo's opponent (the Democratic nominee)

"HOW WILL ZOHRAN PAY FOR FREE BUSES" screamed the Staten Islanders who have a free ferry

oh man court street pastry shop has the best rainbow cookies you'll ever have

billionaire money ran against public interest, sought to reshape it, and much of the party clammed up hedging bets against its own next generation in fear of that lobby. while the rhetoric got as filthily racist as the early aughts. what is anyone's purpose anymore. cough up them seats.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Go NEW YORK CITY ZOHRAN FOR THE PEOPLE!!🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️

Looks like he's more unknown than unpopular according to your poll, perhaps due to the fact he is running in a local city's race. Meanwhile every bit of national news about him is that he's a jihadist communist who's going to steal from you.

"multiyear deal" but i'm not entirely sure if we have more than a couple years before the AI bubble pops and a lot of companies lose their investors. there are signs it's beginning, so we'll see!

he should have just gotten the words "I HATE" next to the existing tattoo

We’re Testing Comments and Reader Scores on Album Reviews The features are currently in beta testing, and we hope to launch them next year

for traffic reasons, i get why places do this. but man, nothing turns me off more. i read sites and publications for THEIR opinions. if i wanted random nerds' opinions i could go....literally everywhere else on the internet. it just ruins the vibe instantly

Kids are shouting it for good reason

AI-powered YTMND

not the point, but i bet this is like every demolition guy's dream. never thought he'd be tearing down the white house when he got into the business, but there he is, catching the white whale

cable news controlled by a legion of less cool hank hills

I sometimes just wander through old comment sections from The Dissolve to remember the last time i enjoyed being online

That's actually been my biggest issue with bluesky. somehow, even completely broken and rigged and overrun with bots, the trending features still work better than on here. harder to follow the news here

[sees an A-to-Z list]

Me, rubbing my hands together, licking my lips: oooooohh what's gonna be the X

another win for libras

Interview: Kevin Tighe on ‘One Battle After Another’ and a great career on stage and screen The great character actor talks about his return to the screen in 'One Battle After Another' and a half-century journey in the business.

If you’re like me, you sat up on your chair when S-tier character actor Kevin Tighe turned up in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. I had a wonderful conversation with him about it for The Reveal: thereveal.film/interview-ke...

Good lol...this place has way better vibes but I still split my time because not everyone made the jump. Don't wanna have to do that anymore

I do think it's funny that people don't want to pay, then complain about ads and also complain about clickbait headlines and worsening coverage....maybe like all these things are connected

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

One thing I always emphasize to a newer journalist is that there's a balance between speed and accuracy that needs to be found, and the latter always trumps the former. It's better to be fifth to a story and correct than first and wrong. Feels like a lot of media orgs need to relearn that right now.

you can’t maintain that political speech is the lifeblood of a democratic society and also act as if nothing anyone says really matters

Jesus fucking Christ. I fucking hate these people.
