We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

He carries shelter dogs around the city in a backpack to help get them adopted Bryan Reisberg has taken out 11 dogs on city adventures. Ten of them were adopted after his videos published.

Hero!❤️

Bryan Reisberg spends one day a week taking shelter dogs out of their kennels, slipping them in a “adopt me” backpack and carrying them around New York.

His goal is to help people see shelter dogs the way he does: curious, sweet and full of potential.

Imaginary statue of an award, it’s a woman’s figure, covering her ears

Big news. FIFA just awarded me the best new female vocalist prize.

White, Legally Armed, and Primed for Political Violence Ian Rogers was convinced it was up to him to save America. The gun industry’s sales tactics may be creating a pipeline of extremists willing to open fire.

When he was arrested in early 2021, Ian Rogers — a white, conservative man in his 40s — had dozens of guns and a plan to ignite civil war. Rogers’ radicalization didn’t happen in a vacuum. His indoctrination can be traced back to his 21st birthday, when he bought his first gun.

Not all Sheroes wear a cape

Conde Nast takes the only viable path forward.

My only suggestion is to @phillewis.bsky.social -
the word “journalist” really needs to be in quotes here.

There is almost no subject thst is too small for them to infect with petty racism.

The reality is that those who place tax avoidance above all else a) have a team of lawyers and accountants to help them; and b) have already moved to Florida or another no-tax state.

These same folks threatened to move when DiBlasio and Dinkins were elected, but never do

Though I wonder about the comment about making his cabinet more diverse than Biden’s.
By age, yes. But by every other metric, no.
Biden had more women (11 to start but grew to 13) and persons of color - Biden had 11, Obama 10 and Bush 6.

TBF, naming a Peace building for trump is no worse than naming the DC airport for the guy who fired all the air traffic controllers.

Manhattan Luxury Apartment Market Surges in Month After Mamdani’s Win Real estate brokers say there has been no slowdown in demand from wealthy buyers.

New Mexico is an outlier in that, despite reasonably strong gun laws, they struggle with a high rate of gun violence.

Hopefully this effort to reduce trafficking will make an impact.

Because everyone wants to spend more when it’s time to fill their gas tank ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is the least of the weaknesses of this book.

As a New Yorker, I know many here, Black, white and Brown, who have been disappointed in Jeffries.

He basically wrote off the progressive base when he refused to embrace Mamdani until early voting began.

Clearly, the one guy was trying to sell fentanyl to a nearby dolphin

It’s that time of year: what was the piece of writing about AI that stuck with you the most this year, pop press or academic? A few of mine in the thread. ⬇️

I misread it as “just accept that you are related to some people you hate” and didn’t see what was wrong with that. (no, not you or M)

FYI: Not so coincidentally, the Trump administration ended the ATF's "zero tolerance" policy for gun dealers, which meant that dealers could have their licenses revoked for serious violations.

Wait, what??

Cuéllar to announce he has changed parties to R (or more likely, Independent) in 3, 2, 1…

How was the Omar El Akkad book? It’s on my to-read list but haven’t started it yet.

RFK Jr. blames pills—not guns—for school shootings There is no credible evidence that antidepressants cause violence, but Kennedy now vows a “massive” effort to prove the failed theory.

More dangerous, anti-scientific nonsense from RFK jr.

The current environment is a challenging one to drive upgrades without showing a true value proposition.
The days of just stamping "AI inside" are ending if you can't drive value.

Are Ethiopian members of Beta Israel "peak white"?
Disgusting, but unsurprising from someone who is clearly uncomfortable that he comes from a majority Black country.

NYT / The Athletic headline saying "Village People will perform Trump anthem Y.M.C.A." corrected to "...will perform gay anthem..."

Hey @nytimes.com @theathletic.com
I fixed your headline.
YMCA has been a gay anthem for 5 decades. The fact that the current president has adopted it doesn't make it a "trump anthem" any more than Reagan using Born in the USA would suggest it's not a protest song. Do better.
