Also honey badgers, as I learned from the Wild Kratts when my kids were younger

Blue Jays. I hear all the other songbirds hate them

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Stunning fall sunset from the stoop of a leafy suburban street just north of Philly. Bushes in shades of red, yellow, and green in foreground

Autumnal tree striped in pink, green, and orange, in front of a crumbling, Titanic-era stone wall

Born and raised New Yorker who also spent 7 years in the Pac NW. Moved to the Philly area 5 years ago, and, of all the places I’ve lived, I’m continually stunned by the beauty of it. Who woulda thunk?

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Hey ChatGPT: Please generate an image of a man thoroughly devoid of any and all human empathy.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

Big day for people who care about other people

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

Bold of Zohran to murder Dick Cheney as his final campaign stunt

Alright Libs, listen the fuck up. Zohran just gave you the path to victory. "But NYC isn't the same as the whole country" SHUT THE FUCK UP! Zohran paved the way. All you have to do is walk it. Stop moving to the right, and campaign on working for the working class.

0% of NYers are suburban, but -1% are rural. (Also 100% are urban, obviously)

The NYC math on this poll q made me laugh

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

We truly live in the something of times

The NYC mayor‘s election might be the first big election where Millennials and Gen Zers realize that their broad participation can literally dictate the outcome of elections.

That alone is everything. It’s the way democracy will be reborn.

Kennedy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Dick Cheney lived long enough to see every horrible thing he did boomerang on American democracy in highly predictable and ironic ways, but on the bright side at least he managed not to endorse Andrew Cuomo.

So Greg Bovino & Dan Bongino are 2 different people, do I have that right? Kristi Noem & Pam Bondi are the same person though, I’m pretty sure

Batdog never rests.

My father was one of the architects of the Kennedy Center. He was also a polio survivor who died of post-polio syndrome when I was a child. I suspect he’d approve of the death of the institution, in this instance

Batdog never rests.

I have released
the monkeys
that were in
the shipment

and which
you were probably
saving
for research

Forgive me
they were devious
so angry
and so sick
