There was a brief golden window when we realized we could take our son, sleeping in his car seat, to the loud restaurants around the corner and he would stay asleep while we enjoyed pizza and an adult beverage.

Teen Vogue has been an excellent source of political reporting the last eight years. Sadly, no more, it seems.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Aerial banner saying "Stop the socialists! Vote Cuomo and save NYC"

Cuomo's gunning hard for the Sliwaistas of Brighton Beach:

I used to live a few blocks away from Elizabeth Warren in Cambridge, and I can personally confirm that they give out full-size candy bars on Halloween.

If he's ever up for sainthood, will they count miraculous Super Bowl upsets as evidence?

Aka the cutest little subway train in the system!

That's been fixed! A flip phone was both my kids' first phone, to their great shame. They got really good a the old texting shortcuts, at least.

It's crazy- Trmp could have slept through his term and gotten better results in every sector.

The Arch of Trump’s Triumph and Downfall Triumphal arches have been used for imperialistic ends since Roman antiquity, and the president’s latest proposal is no exception.

My latest from @hyperallergic.com is on Trump’s proposed triumphal arch—& why looking at the structure’s history symbolizing imperialism & subjugation + its reception (Napoleon, Hitler) is important. NB: the ecclesiastical architectural firm pitching this structure. hyperallergic.com/1050375/the-...

Here is a block list for them bsky.app/profile/best...

This brutalist Timezone arcade in Christchurch New Zealand gives off a weird feeling. r/brutalism

As everyone who has had interns before knows, they end up using as much labor to manage as they add, so a net zero.

We should be asking this

Very odd- like paragraphs were fleshy blocks of verbiage with no skeleton or sinews connecting them to the rest of the text.

I had a strange experience working on a proposal with a good friend who has been an enthusiastic adopter of ai: I had to cut her bio down considerably, but I kept having the sense that I could lop off whole paragraphs without losing any substance.

LLM extruded essays are like being cornered by the most boring person at a party while they monotone monologue small talk at you, convinced that they’re pronouncing something profound.

Bombing boats in international waters would have been a pesky asterisk...

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

Sounds like a recurring element on The Prisoner.

After law school, only one thing is gonna keep me from prosecuting murders in my home town, and that is prosecuting the shameful federal ‘law enforcement’ officers who are so proudly violating the law. Save your signing bonuses for defense lawyers. You’ll need them.

Oh oh I might!

Always wanted to watch The Fly back-to-back with Altered States

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Urrgg the stenography from NPR has been driving me nuts since January

It seems like you could design a wealth tax that is tied to the Federal tax cuts passed by the GOP- basically nullify the tax benefits and shift the money to the State.

Israeli pirates have just kidnapped Irish, Spanish, British, American, Turkish, and Dutch citizens, among others, sailing peacefully in international waters where the state of Israel has absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever. Demand a response from your politicians and governments to this outrage.

Haha our health insurance has been trying to get us to sign up for a similar 'health advisor' program- first question in the sign up process asked you to waive your HIPAA rights. Errmm...nope!

Naive question- could a later, less ethically-challenged administration go after these companies for bribing a Federal official, even if Trmp himself is immune? Seems like an important check on this sort of behavior...
