The red one was fun!

We bind our own hands though, because people think you can't be illiberal in the defense of liberalism. To the contrary, it's essential to be illiberal if doing so is the only way to save liberalism.

Expropriate all of these various media properties -- Twitter, Paramount, CBS, etc -- and hand them over to political allies (or better yet, break them up first) on day one of the next trifecta. By midterms you'll have a whole new culture that everyone just accepts.

Not every elected Republican wants to execute their Democratic colleagues but there is not a single one who will protest or object if it happens.

Nice bowl

Janno even said this was on the table after the OMNY rollout was done.

This was me and my partner for a while but we don't regret going a *little* bit upmarket nowadays.

It feels like every time we optimize solely for price some mildly aggravating issue pops up. E.g. poor sound insulation, rattling ACs, a faulty shower door that ends up flooding the bathroom 🙄

Glad NA offerings have moved past that rancid stuff

And now that Byford has a job more like Janno’s - work with a broad range of stakeholders both internal and external, to build something big - he’s not only completely whiffed but might ram through a privatization that Penn will never recover from.

The only thing that can prevent this is a welted boot with goretex and vibram tread and primaloft insulation and cork insoles and metal aglets and

Woke 2.0 is meme accounts saying Stephen Miller deserves “some sort of town square type punishment”

Woke 1 is scolding that meme account because they forgot we are on stolen land, actually

Americans will obsess over fats and seed oils instead of reducing sugar. And when we do it's just replaced with alternatives in an attempt to keep the sweetness level constant.

As I get older I'm still unsure if I'm needing less sleep or simply coping with constant fatigue better

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

"It is not mainline liberalism that has lost adherents; it’s everyone else. Across the world the center-right has disappeared, virtually overnight."

Legacy media missing this point has been so important in how they've covered politics in the past decade -- to the far-right's advantage.

no-one is saying that Americans are unaware that things are crazy. the point is that quite a lot of American pundits seem to be treating Greenland as a standard Trump escalation or distraction which can be easily moved on from or undone, and it's important to understand why that isn't the case

I find warm lighting preferable but it's not doing any favors in combination with that cabin

You could not ask for a better ally in city hall and yet you immediately go on the offensive? This feels extremely out of touch, urging you to reconsider.

Dog beds do look comfy

This vendor's gate already blocks that, apparently.

At least there's a wheelchair accessible one to the left

I think it's shameful that during a second Trump administration, and after NYC voters rejected a return to moderate, conciliatory governance, that a Democrat would tout the entirety of the Council's Republican caucus as her supporters.

Yay!

Curious how the tear manifested for you? I've had a small black spot in my vision for a few years but an opthalmologist said it was nothing 🤷‍♂️

There are plenty of ways to discuss frustrations with union leadership without throwing every public sector employee under the bus and staining their reputation with accusations of literal criminality.

"public workers are all corrupt" is a lazy and dangerous reactionary stance that mirrors decades of Republican talking points straight from Reaganism into "drain the swamp"

This misguided antipathy doesn't compel reform, it only gives justification to those who seek to dismantle public services.

the most obvious way for Zohran to tie his climate and affordability promises together is to get New York to build hundreds of thousands of transit-oriented apartments

Cuomo kept the GOP in charge of New York's Senate to block progressive policies for him.

He signed an extreme gerrymander—breaking a campaign vow—& backed turncoat Dems who empowered the GOP after Dems won a majority.

Any generic progressive Dem who vetoed the gerrymander could've passed far more

I'm back.

I too take the occasional Brooklyn bus and I'm surprised that you're surprised by the quoted numbers. I notice a *lot* of people getting on the bus are not tapping.
