NYC: Early voting starts TODAY! Read up on the ballot proposals, and when you’re in the booth *flip your ballot over* - see you at the polls 🗳️

No actual New Yorker is going to stand in Times Square for 16 hours in the freezing cold. Those are all tourists and fresh transplants - rest of us got better things to do on NYE.

It's even worse than I thought. The Justice Department's public integrity section is down to just *two people*, @josepagliery.bsky.social reports. www.notus.org/courts/doj-p...

Oh, that’s definitely unnerving if you’re not on the usual flight path!

They’re most likely aerial photographers taking pictures of the light memorial. It’s frustrating and does set us all on edge.

Zero people (of actual consequence) would have noticed if they didn’t do this, so WHY DO IT?!

Amazing how elected Dems have to stop and immediately post their Ts&Ps when tragedy strikes the right wing - they know Rs will be monitoring their responses. And yet, silence/jokes/“focusing on REAL issues” are completely acceptable responses from Republicans if it’s someone they don’t care about.

Protect the heavenly butter tortillas at all costs!

2029 isn’t THAT far out! But 2073 does seem more realistic…

Is that a bolo with a polo??

I thought I couldn’t be disappointed by the Blazers after all these years, but man, does the front office even care?

Also the bro next to me asking ChatGPT for draft research… Lazy. Soft. Pathetic.

Wayyyy too many Duke Bois at the NBA draft tonight

Most hype concession party EVER - congrats ZOHRAN!

Problem at the polling site? Call (866) 868-3692 to notify the Board of Elections!

Thank you for the additional details - that clarifies the situation quite a bit. Still a completely unacceptable situation, but marginally better than I had thought on the first read.

Is this like a cargo box for container ships or is this some sort of weird turn of phrase for a normal mode of transport for humans I’m currently unaware of?

Hold on… we’re deporting human beings… IN SHIPPING CONTAINERS??!

NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams ( @jumaane.bsky.social ): “Andrew Cuomo represents the Democratic Party that brought us Donald Trump.” Also comments on Bill Clinton being a predator as well 🔥

Election Eve rally with Brad Lander - and a reminder: DON’T RANK CUOMO

Cartoon headstone for Holden Bloodfeast (R - Iowa), epitaph reading “devout father, grandfather and Christian.” Details: - Passed away at 119 years old - Watched Donald Trump use B2s to bomb Iran, passed away with a smile and a tear trailing from his eye - Respectable Bipartisan. Lindsay Graham and John Fetterman attended his funeral.

FUCK

Three people dressed up in sequins, wigs, seashells for the Coney Island mermaid in parade

A mermaid roach costume in the parade. A mer roach if you will.

A pair of hands holding an anti Cuomo newspaper style flyer handed out during the parade: “Cuomo to MTA: Suck My Tentacles” reads the headline

A person in a gold wrap dress, large stacked pearl necklace, and a very ornate golden headdress with blue fin-like wings fluttering behind them

Coney Island feeling closer to NOLA than NYC today and it was magical ✨🪩🧜‍♀️

They’re alcoholic beverages sold by enterprising hustlers on the boardwalk/in the parks and they’re always delicious. Here’s my koolaid/jolly rancher slush and a passion fruit mango from the Coney Island mermaid parade today!

Spend the money on the best underlayment - it makes such a difference

We kept extra pairs of guest house shoes (with extra grippy soles) on hand for just this reason. That house also had a practically invisible step down into the living room and many ankles were rolled.

Corgi named Heidi half-laying on her bed in a room filled with greige ceramic tile. The white grout is clearly visible, breaking the “wood” illusion.

Oh have I ever! I had 2500sq ft of it in my last house, that the previous owners slapped down everywhere with the most minimal of skill and bright white grout. The only reason I kept it was the shock from seeing the cost to replace it.

Ooh, laminate and LVP are on their way out. It is now “wood look” ceramic tile’s time to shine, available in 68 colorways (all somehow grey) from Floor and Decor.
