This morning at church we read from Hope in the Dark by Rebecca Solnit. And then I went rollerskating at the park and a little girl made me race her.

Wide view of a city with a pink goo running through its streets. Someone off panel says, “Finally, the whole city will be BURIED in CHERRY GELATIN!“

I texted my partner's mom a picture of a flower she likes and she made it her profile picture on goodreads.

The biggest dividing line based on this map is that Cuomo did best in neighborhoods with the most people who have cars while Mamdani won among people who take the subway.

Last time I felt this alive was when Bernie won Nevada

Perhaps one of the only political victories I've ever lived through.... feels good to win man

The fact that the bus and bike lanes are “empty” is a feature, not a bug. The bike lane looks empty because cyclists move efficiently: they don’t get stuck behind other cyclists making turns and they don’t double-park at the curb to drop off passengers or stuff.

On the phone with my uncle

My uncle: I’m drinking sludge to flush my body because I’m having my bottom explored

Me: Sorry to hear about that

My uncle: Just you wait. By the time you’re my age they’ll have invented all sorts of new ways of extracting money from your anus

Woke up sick. I should be able to join a zoom for trivia the same way I can for church. Oh and they should let me unmute to talk

Thinking about making a chocolate babka from scratch. For something to do

- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

Getting really into the life of Christ. Anyone heard about this guy? Seems pretty hard to twist his teachings to defend evil and greed

Imagine you get nailed to a cross to die a slow and painful death and everyone calls it Good Friday for the next two thousand years. Rude?

basically the way posting works is every one is a little ape in a cage. when you reply to someone's post it's like you're rattling the bars of their cage and they start hooting back

Senate Overturns Rule Limiting Bank Overdraft Fees to $5 (Gift Article) Lawmakers voted to invalidate a rule adopted last year by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It now moves to the House.

Yes, these mofos just voted for banks to charge us higher fees.

Been in a mood.

My brother: I need to get plant pots with drainage holes

Me and my dad in unison: get a ceramic drill bit and drill your own holes

Mom: the house down the street is for sale
Me: Yeah it looks ugly
Dad: You’re ugly
Me: I know. That makes me extra qualified to say when things are ugly
Dad: Good point

A historic oceanfront park on San Francisco’s western edge will officially open on 4/12. The new park, the largest pedestrianization project in California history, will give residents & visitors a place to walk, bike, relax, & connect with the coast like never before.

Man killed in hit-and-run by truck driver in Brooklyn: NYPD WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn (PIX11) — A man was hit and killed while crossing a street in Brooklyn early Saturday morning, police say. The man was crossing at the intersection of Withers Street an…

If you’re keeping track, this is the 3rd person killed by a driver this week in Brooklyn specifically.

Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.

This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.

(Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Already thinking about my two slices of toast with butter marmite and fried egg tomorrow morning. It keeps me from you know what-ting myself.
