I was too, but it's a lovely movie and I didn't find it as emotionally taxing as I feared.

58-year-old woman struck, killed by hit-and-run driver in Jamaica, Queens: police Police say a 58-year-old woman was crossing from north to south on Jamaica Avenue, when she was struck by a dark-colored sedan.

Three people killed by drivers this week in NYC. If this had happened on the subway we wouldn’t stop talking about the DaNgER

This is truly crazy-making. What is wrong with their brains? They truly believe they're going to reap some kind of benefit for bipartisanship with monsters?

Some days it’s political outrage. Some days it’s magic and whimsy. Most days it’s both.

What an absurd take. If they had been successful, those of us who were a part of the counterprotest would have been harmed too. They were a danger to everyone in the vicinity, not "a part" of anything but themselves.

for me “doom scrolling” is actually just the pathological hunt for the first piece of news that indicates this whole unbearable moment is about to unravel

There were many of us who showed up to protest (far more of us than their puny band of racist losers). But it does continue to be frustrating how much anti-Muslim bigotry is normalized, including among elected leaders.

Ah, that makes sense. But I think the sketch would have been a lot funnier without the gimmick.

Jake Lang wearing cosplay camouflage and a goat

Nazi Jake Lang showed up in NYC today with a few of his fellow loser white supremacists for an anti Muslim protest. They brought a (totally innocent) live goat to their tiny little rally. But lots of New Yorkers turned up to counterprotest.

The world we live in is a world where wars are not fought for any strategic power competition reasons at all, but one where they are fought specifically to generate imagery of suffering for sadistic perverts to get off to without any more thought put into why than that

I'm so sorry about your brother. It's such an injustice that so many people die in our detention and prison systems - because of inadequate care, and often because they shouldn't be there in the first place.

Thank you, Texas! I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of our beautiful state. Together, we’re going to take on corruption and it’s going to be a new day in TX.

You have put your faith in me, and I promise to put my all into fighting for you and your families. On to November!

Oh come on, this isn't about leftists. It's a problem with both certain liberals and certain leftists who are convinced that Dems can only win by cozying up to racists, misogynists, etc

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

Resign, Chuck. New Yorkers and Americans want a real opposition party.
