Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...

This is wild, and as a lifelong proud-ish Upper WEST Sider, I offer it as humble proof that although God knows we have our faults, the Upper East Side is...hooboy. Not the same AT ALL. This really captures how the UES can sometimes feel like the largest gated community in NYC.

not great!

Meet Yaa’kub Ira Vijandre. He’s the US’ latest political prisoner.

His detention is designed to send the message that anything noncitizens post in support of disfavored causes can be labeled a deportable threat to national security.

There’s actually an obscure state law that says that if you’re a white guy who went to Harvard and you can say “nothing can be done” in a snide tone while posing as a pragmatist, the New York Times is legally obligated to publish anything you write

Those of us who remember the Afghanistan War will recognize this as the Fighting Season having Ended

Writing the part of my book explaining how, under Clinton, Larry Summers made crushing the possibility of regulating derivatives his reason for being; derivatives crashed the global economy; Obama made him his top economic advisor; THE END. Much more depressing than writing about the Tea Party.

I would like to take this opportunity to get on the record and apologize: I had complained about how every single thing at the grocery store now costs five dollars more than it used to, but I had not seen the latest data from DoorDash's State of Local Commerce report, which disproves that.

$2 gas and 50 years mortgages for everyone.

Heartbreaking story

From a Bluesky post on which the author chose to disable quote-tweets (fair enough, and I wouldn't quote it if I weren't complimenting it: "Instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters.""

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

I’ve been hearing Adam talk through this piece in stages for a year but didn’t understand it because I don’t understand gaming or the history of D&D. The last time we had dinner he went through the whole thing and it blew my mind

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.

Jimmy Olsen ‘DC Crime’ Series in the Works at HBO Max From ‘American Vandal’ Duo, First Season Focused on Gorilla Grodd DC Studios and HBO Max are developing a fictional true crime series set in the DC Universe.

"Titled “DC Crime,” the show would be presented as a true crime docuseries that would be hosted by Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo)."

PS: I hope that's a working title. Bad name.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

really tired of people with every advantage adopting a pose of world-weary skepticism to hide their own bitterness at having come out slightly below where they wanted in the social hierarchy. please do something with that other than pretend to be a reporter

We don’t deserve beings so pure but they make our world immeasurably more full 💫

Fair.

I agree with this but would settle for "you have to go someplace that sucks to do it." If you want to do some stupid six-leg parlay you should have to say it aloud to a person through a little microphone at an OTB that's lit like the MTA offices in the original Taking Of Pelham 123.

I do think sports betting should be legal, but you should have to place bets in person with someone you are afraid will physically harm you if you don't pay up.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.
