I love how beautiful and well dressed is the average person on the NY subway

The Rest Is Politics Podcast · Goalhanger · Two men who’ve been at the heart of the political world - former Downing Street Director of Communications and Strategy Alastair Campbell and cabinet minister Rory Stewart - joi...

Not necessarily: Rory Stewart, an MP in the UK who vied for PM, ended up starting what is now the UK’s most listened to podcast and arguably has more influence over politics & connection to voters than he did from inside government open.spotify.com/show/1Ysx8g1...

Every so often I come back to this set of principles from my burning man camp's orientation and remember to simply breathe, bring extra champagne, and seek inner peace.

Isn’t it clear congress is not fighting back? The judiciary seems like the last check but unfortunately without enforcement that’s also pretty impotent.

State governments seem like the only ones that can stand up for good government and hopefully people will vote with their feet

There is a reason that the actual federal faucet has always been controlled by apolitical bureaucrats.

Having a president (or an unelected billionaire) with direct, granular control of a quarter of all U.S. spending is power beyond the Founders’ wildest dreams. 10/x

Oooh great please keep us posted!

what is the app I can use to replace Instagram? I still want to share small photo and video fragments of my life ephemerally with my actual friends but would love to get off meta

This place could use more cute cat pictures so please meet Stevie, my beloved street kitten from Istanbul who was also loved by Edward Snowden

So little traffic at the start of the Friday evening rush was unthinkable mere weeks ago. Amazing.

YouTube video by Saturday Night Live Horror Movie Trailer - SNL

It is horrifying how well this SNL sketch (aired Oct '22) has aged. The Democratic party had plenty of time to find a viable candidate to oppose Trump, but instead we're here www.youtube.com/watch?v=46WZ...

Just learned about the concept of starter packs and I created one for the people I've enjoyed following on Bluesky (you can also find this linked on my profile) go.bsky.app/5fZCiPP

d'oh I thought it was discoverable from his profile but so far it is not so here you go: go.bsky.app/F3qyBYQ

@tumbolia.bsky.social how do I find your list of Feytopians on Bluesky?

Reconnecting with singing friends (and meeting new ones) has been the second most fun thing about being in nyc more again

You know those weddings when you want to have a wedding reunion party so you can hang out with all the people again?

It's amazing how many Democrats think the tiktok ban is a 'non partisan' issue. 100% true it was passed by a bipartisan coalition and upheld by the conservative Supreme Court. But this is happening under Biden & ban is associated with dems. Trump will reinstate & win loyalty & affection of millions.

Jeff Bezos’s $500m yacht is the longest sailing vessel in the world (417 ft) and features true to life topless bust of his wife as the figurehead

It’s Time to Leave the House There’s still time to save ourselves from the loneliness remote life ushered in five years ago.

'It turns out that the simple obligation of going to a workplace, shop, or school every day brought positive externalities that are vanishing from our lives.' Diana Lind provides some hard numbers for the trend we all feel towards isolation w/remote work slate.com/business/202...

Case Study: Feÿtopia A ~40 person seasonal community in a French castle

‘As a teenager, I couldn’t understand why adults were so boring. They have no friends, they spend all their time working. Feÿtopia offers a vision of adulthood where people are intellectually, spiritually and emotionally engaged in appreciating ideas.’

Thanks @tumbolia.bsky.social for compiling a list of Feytopians to follow on Bluesky :)

For the unaware: Feytopia is a seasonal creative commune / solarpunk utopia in a castle in the French countryside. Looking forward to returning in the spring... feytopia.com

Did it work? I periodically think I should take a social media hiatus

Ok returning to Bluesky after being a churned early-early adopter

How do I find my friends who are already on the platform? I'm not seeing an easy way to link my address book / other indicators of my social graph

So true. We're desperately in need of some innovative political actors who will either remake their parties or start new ones. I'm watching this space... @andrewyang2024.bsky.social has a new party, though I disagree with a lot of his policy ideas; curious if others are seeing movements emerge

V excited to see some momentum. I have such fond memories of Twitter but it really is aggressive these days

Very pleased with this original print I found at the Poster House in NYC
