Is NYC going through another Summer of Hell? For the last 3 days the subway to work had mad delays 😶

The right considerably underestimates how much I'm okay with also sending Bill Clinton to prison.

UBI always works great, just like 4 day work weeks, and we will never do either one.

In a stunning moment of carnal desire, my calculator said “BOOBIE5”

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs, with the following text from bottom to top: 1. this meeting could have been an email 2. this email could have been a slack message 3. this slack message could have been a google search 4. this google search could have been a task for an intern 5. this intern could have been replaced by chatgpt 6. all of this bs should have been a remote cabin in the forest next to a freshwater stream and berry bushes as far as the eye can see

Political courage and resolve made this massive success possible, in the face of a small group of loud naysayers who guaranteed it would be a disaster.

I wonder if there is perhaps a broader political lesson to be learned here? 🤔 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

should a brown man be mayor? We asked a eugenicist

What great novels are about in:
Germany: "the despair of a brief life in an uncaring society."
Russia: "the despair that God has abandon us."
France: "the despair of the burden of freedom."
USA: "the despair of wanting to kill a huge fuckin' whale and you just can't kill it. God damn stupid whale!!"

The global obsession with gen AI is so funny — every corporation in the world suddenly forgot they actually have a business, that needs to sell to products to customers

“yes we're a shoe company but to stay competitive we gotta replace our entire core business with a text summarization algorithm!”

Zohran Mamdani can lower housing costs by getting everyone who jets between New York and the South of France to leave the city for good

A magazine list showing #37, Zohran Mamdani, age 11, asked for Books, FIFA 2003 and SimCity 3000 video games.

we’re about to find out if loving SimCity makes you a better mayor

Mamdani was asked in 2002 by NY Mag what he wanted for Christmas and said SimCity 3000

I’ve been doing some research and it turns out the whole problem is that we’re not ludicrously wealthy?

Oh no, where will I be buying my $12 carton of milk now

If you're not careful, the most tax avoidant and tax sheltered people in the entire world may move somewhere else and not pay their taxes in that place either.

The subway is not scary. Literal children ride it millions of times every day. Fascists and bigots lie about it constantly and have for years because they’re trying to destroy NYC and our subway, and most things wrong with the subway can be traced to their attacks resulting in its underfunding.
