good grief well done

"This presentation does not cover Sliwa's radio career because it would be another 100 slides."

I absolutely promise that no matter how much you think you know about Curtis Sliwa you will find surprises in here

yea it’s an extremely fair question — another topic we ran out of space for was when the Gotti family was put on trial in 2005 for shooting Curtis. In cross examination, the defense accused him of making it up like his prior adventures, but he was able to produce pretty decent evidence iirc

no, no, we agree, he’s much less multidimensional and also has less soul. but he’s what the 206 has to offer in this lane. I attribute it partially to an underdeveloped talk radio culture

Goodspaceguy

If you enjoyed his wild answers during the mayoral debate you'll love:
- the award he was given by Richard Nixon!
- how he got disqualified from a matzoh ball eating contest!
- the gay wedding he officiated!
- his terrible security practices and the secrets I never wanted to read as a result!

I kept telling @chrysaora.bsky.social and @smathewss.bsky.social new sliwa facts and eventually this happened

I’m just presuming this is meant as a distraction from the domestic terrorism EO

for me the realization moment was “kol hanishcachos” appearing in both

Yes, this was my experience

agreed -- such a weird thing for OP to make up

Melanie Krause, acting head of the IRS, resigned today over DOGE’s attempts to access the sensitive, legally protected information about immigrants held by the IRS.

I see we’ve progressed to the “torturing intellectuals” component of this exercise

are they even providing a pretense about why “criminal” Americans can’t be imprisoned within the famously vast and overwrought American prison system?

I wrote this, because a guy on my block told me he was thinking of liquidating his life savings ($10k) so that his money didn’t disappear. Showing him a single graph talked him out of it. I hope it’s helpful to someone.

Good news. The American empire is falling. Bad news. I’m an American

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

ICE Agents Detain University of Alabama Doctoral Student A spokeswoman for the school said the detainment occurred off campus, but it was not immediately clear why the student had been targeted.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

the only thing that is allowing me to keep up with the news is @sill.social. I can't recommend it enough.

Rachel Cohen, an Associate at Skadden-Arp, resigned today.

"I spent most of my history classes wondering what I would do in the moments before true horror...or where my values were tested and demanded great sacrifice. I do not wonder anymore. I know who I am. I thought I knew who we all were."

you know, maybe we deserve what is coming to us

objectively correct

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

I believe this is a world first: An intra-day tariff chart.
