If you are watching the NYC marathon today and are inspired to start running, please allow me to suggest run/walking. You don’t have to suffer! Run 8 minutes, walk 2. Run 90 secs, walk 30s. I run a minute, walk a minute. Be kind to your body. Enjoy being outside. Set yourself up for success.

something under discussed is the fact that white house renovations are currently being spearheaded by someone with famously bad interior design taste

Higher prices for parking during popular events is good, actually, as is charging more for SUVs. In this essay we will...

i should be able to click a button at the beginning of a sports season that says “i’m normal” and i don’t get served any ads for crypto or gambling

We Are the Jonas Brothers and We Are Just as Confused as You Are Let he who hasn’t delayed the sixth inning of a World Series game in order to play half a song throw the first stone.

“They’ve got money for ICE and golden ballrooms but not for hungry families” is so easy it’s almost funny

A core feature of our unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis is that the Speaker of the House is permitted to performatively lie in public with impunity from the podium every day & the assembled media in front of him offer approximately no pushback at all on the lies.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

China just built the biggest bridge in the world, a modern marvel that set ten different world records. Meanwhile we are having the fucking New York Jets and Blackstone bribe our McDonald’s Pedophile President to build the ballroom equivalent of the Flanders house

Never forget, long before he became a shitty President, he was a really, REALLY shitty land developer.

im sorry but if you think “normies” dont care about the white house being demolished for a half billion dollar golden vanity ballroom as the economy implodes then you just arent as plugged in as you think you are

rushing to integrate undercooked, misrepresented, and misunderstood technology into every corner of our lives just so a handful of terrible people could make more money might have been a bad idea

a purolator bike pulling a large cargo box on the back on a street.

we can do things differently, we just have to want to.

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

i really hope i live to see a time where it again feels like education for its own sake is seen as a social good

Wouldn’t need money. I think you’d have no problem finding a citizen team of volunteers!

The next president has to tear the goddamn thing down. I am not kidding. Use private money. It can be found. Make a show of it.

Totally on board with the spirit of this idea. In practice, how do these costumes not get completely disgusting?

I think if I gave up that home run I would attempt to disappear somehow within the mound and never be seen again.

This is harmful not just because it's victim blaming, but that it creates a false equivalence in terms of the responsibility of drivers and pedestrians: "bright clothes, headlights on."

Drivers have *much more* responsibility to keep road users safe! And that includes not speeding.

I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

It's not just that they hate cities, it's that anti-urbanism is a kind of organizing principle across all policy areas, across their entire ideology.

This explains quite a bit about our current moment in masculinity.

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Things like this are why I'm increasingly on Team Pothole. If the legislature insists that my city's streets have to stay unsafe for the sake of drivers, then we should make driving here maximally unpleasant.

"Who was the president in 2020?" (and the first 20 days of 2021) remains one of the great unresolved mysteries in American political science. The media could never weigh in on such a complex question!

The TikTok thing is cartoonishly corrupt. Everyone involved should be in jail.

Gotta move that prepositional phrase to the front of the sentence!
