Messy. With onions and mustard on the top of the bun.

And the bad vibes voters (or at least this voter) get about Democrats result from the very strategy they’re pursuing: abandoning their personal values in return for potential political gain. It’s what made Mamdani refreshing. He actually believes stuff.

IKR? If you want to be rich from theft just steal gold or diamonds or lithium.

I think it’s garbage anyway. Plenty of indirect men. Plenty of direct women. Also neither is necessarily good or bad. Context matters.

They’re reading from their book of cliched stereotypes rather than consulting even their own personal experience. Just the laziest crap ever.

It is so weird. Attacking your opponent and then pivoting to your platform's solutions has been the standard template for political ads for as long as I can remember. And I'm kind of old.

Captialists: please give us government money since we can't sell this crappy product.

He hasn't read the science that challenges it anyway. Hasn't seen those headlines. He's been very busy.

The only difference between David Brooks and Ross Douthat is that Douthat will occasionally mention he’s Catholic.

Brilliant opportunism if anyone actually follows it. The airlines can sell more tickets while flying fewer planes. What could be better?

US flights could soon get slashed if the shutdown continues. Here’s what to know if you’re about to fly | CNN Millions of Americans expecting to fly this month could have their plans grounded if the government shutdown drags on.

www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u... I’m supposed to fly tomorrow out of one of the affected airports. The only advice offered in this CNN article comes from an airline CEO who suggests I just buy another ticket on another carrier, just in case.

This anti-antisemitism expectation conflicts with my antisemitism.

Also Tuesday’s election would suggest these poll results are probably somewhat slanted in Trump’s favor.

I have tipped over the edge and every Republican statement today is leaving me breathless with maniacal laughter.

Send help.

When the Jewish space laser lady thinks you’re a bunch of clowns it might be time to reexamine some life choices.

I also recall about 10,000 β€œmoderate” Republicans who did not like Trump’s rhetoric but supported him anyway because he wasn’t Hillary or Biden or Harris.

Yet it’s entirely unimaginable anyone else would apply the same logic.

You could subscribe and then call the credit card company and tell them you’ve gotten an illegitimate charge from the NYT.

Your must read:

β€œIn all this, though nearly one in ten New Yorkers are Muslim, our fears, our lives, are simply not part of the national conversation. Instead, the state apparatus built to target us, one built on an image of us as a dangerous other, is getting more powerful as I write this. β€œ

Let’s say 2% higher than the highest interest student loan.

Listen, if the government buys the entire US breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and covers all of our healthcare costs and converts the grid to renewables and funds free higher education and restores then doubles USAID, then, after all that corps can APPLY for a high interest government loan.
