I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

And in a year it will turn out the bike lockers have some flaws which either make them largely unusable or easy to steal bikes out of.

I think we all know what happened. Someone on the inside of the Adams admin got paid for the deal.

Every time I see an excerpt from this Nuzzi production I think of Mencken's lines re: Harding's writing: "It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash."

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

There's an element of the smart set that doesn't give a crap about volunteering and ground game, thinks it's meaningless. Mamdani's campaign had 104,400 volunteers and knocked on 3 million doors and it sounds like they're just getting started.
"Engagement doesn't matter" is such a dumb opinion.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

So great to join Hunterdon County Democrats in Flemington, New Jersey this morning to knock doors and get out the vote for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and Democrats up and down the ballot.

With three days until Election Day, we’re doing the work to turn out every vote.

I’ve said this before but white guilt is useless. I don’t want people to feel guilty for things they had no part in, and guilt easily curdles into resentment. But everyone regardless should feel an obligation to correct injustice, especially if you somehow benefit. bsky.app/profile/mich...

Fred Trump spent his last years lost in senility, sitting at a pretend desk, signing pretend papers. I think we're here. Trump is designing his ballroom while Miller and Vought run the country.

My dad remembers the Maddox campaign. He’s said the one thing about Maddox was you knew what he stood for because he never lied about it.

It’s not just anti-Mamdani panic. You can see it in a lot of smaller ways: suing to stop bike lanes, pushing back against any new housing in their β€˜hoods, etc. There’s a whole cohort of supposedly lefty NYCers who are as selfish and unempathetic as any cartoon suburban soccer mom.
