or if Dems hadn’t caved to the Brooks Brothers Riot

London in the house!

there’s still a general election- lots to celebrate, but it’s not done yet

My favorite scene from The Manchurian Candidate brilliantly explains why liars like Trump don’t care about the wild numbers they fabricate. This was the basis of McCarthyism in a nutshell:

city journal- they hate cities and the people who live in them, and feel entitled to tell people how to run their cities - might occasionally make a valid critique, but not in good faith

Will never tire of watching Carney’s face listening to the imbecile.

Art.

ridiculous- even more so in communities where people know their neighbors - it’s a poll tax- bringing Jim Crow to Maine?

As I said once on the old site:

We have truly entered the Age of Onanocracy*.

A two-panel meme featuring characters from *The Simpsons*, with an added image in the top left corner. In the first panel, Bart Simpson looks distressed, saying, "THIS IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING DAY TO BE AN AMERICAN."

The added image in the top left shows convicted felon Donald Trump and weirdo JD Vance in conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the Whitehouse. The meme humorously suggests that American political moments continue to reach new levels of embarrassment.

There are so many non-white English politicians and members of the commentariat who are painfully English, and part of what makes them English down to their very core—strip them to their root and they radiate Englishness—is a unique form of seething English bigotry and contempt towards humanity

BTC is over it and I’m here for it. Sometimes it’s hard to find the words to describe what’s going on but this pretty well sums it up.

Why I Chose to Reenter the Matrix and Be a Living Battery for the Machines Let’s cut the moral grandstanding. You think I sold out humanity by crawling back to the Machines? Please. I upgraded. While you’re out there doom-...

what does a grid have to do with it?- London does not have a grid, congestion pricing works

Congestion pricing in New York City is a month old. What are the results? Less crime as subway ridership up, less cars, less traffic, more people walking around, and increasing popularity. Here's a thread of recent stories about it.
