What the actual fuck

Hey everybody sorry for being quiet. I'll be back in due time.

A version of the DC flag in which the two red bars make up the top and bottom bun of a footlong sub. The three stars hover above it like a baffoonish cartoon character who's just been beaned with a sandwich and is about to claim that the fully intact sandwich "exploded."

Sean Dunn should never have to buy his own lunch in this city again.

Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent Sean Dunn faced single misdemeanor offense after federal grand jurors refused to indict him on the felony charge sought by prosecutors.

Anyway it turns out there actually is a giant pot of money available for salaries after all

Ngl it's kind of funny realizing I have a measurable (and significant) effect on my employer's stock price and getting to watch them realize it too live

"“The Big Apple has fallen,” Avigdor Liberman, the leader of a right-wing opposition party and former foreign minister, said through a spokesman. He urged “New York Jews who want to survive” to emigrate “to where they belong — the land of Israel.”"

If American Jewish orgs want to maintain that it is antisemitic to accuse American Jews of being more loyal to the state of Israel than to the US - and I think they should want that - then they need to denounce Avigdor Lieberman for telling American Jews that Israel is "where they belong."

I keep saying the antidote to Zionism is a diaspora that is safe for Jews. Anti-Zionists who fail to fight Antisemitism are the best allies people like Lieberman could hope for.

Yeah there are definitely dangerous antisemites from the left, but Mamdani really doesn't seem at all to be one. The right however is fucking terrifying

right, like, people keep saying “they don’t intend to have to win elections”, which would be news to donald trump, who seems pretty fucking panicked that they can’t win elections

I don't think anybody would describe Lori that way

Who is that woman? Gather my children, to hear of Niuta Teitelbaum

“she is reputed to have killed two Gestapo agents and wounded a third. When the third agent was taken to the hospital, Niuta disguised herself as a doctor, snuck into the agent’s room, and shot the third agent, and his guard dead.“

I'd also be willing to bet that it's more in absolute numbers too given how imbalanced the population distribution is

Historian David Wyman estimates that approximately 200,000 fewer Jews would have been murdered in the Holocaust if the US had not passed the Immigration Act of 1924.

That is what JD Vance is out there defending right now.

It didn't end up that close

Most important thing about Islamaphobic smears is they’re Islamaphobic smears, and Cuomo and backers push them.

But also, like a pebble in my shoe—

Al Qaeda and ISIS are fundamentalist Sunni! Mamdani is relatively secular Shia and standing for election in America! Jihadists would readily kill him.

Please check all that apply

so voting matters, huh

8-panel SMBC update where a physicist is encouraging the humanities and the sciences to unite in their hatred of chemists. Sadly, due to infighting in the humanities, the chemists have an opening to murder the physicist.

What gets me is there are *some* contexts where this could have meaning (eg the cost to replace something on short notice), but that really doesn't apply to the valuations of companies unless you keep the values contained to the company (its value and its earnings)

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Holy shit dick Cheney finally stopped haunting the halls and died

People like to say “propaganda works,” but I think that’s not right. It’s not propaganda that convinces people, which is why progressive efforts to do propaganda always flop.

It’s people’s sense of what the broader social consensus is. People migrate to ideas they perceive as smart and popular.

Yeah the last few years have really driven up my pessimism about other people (collectively, individuals can still be good)

I really wish we could make the necessary and important point about how much hateful Islamophobia is being directed at Mamdani without saying, "Actors could never get away with saying it about the Jews!"

Because, you know, Mel Gibson still gets plenty of work.

WIRED headline reads: Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel Took Up to $5M in Stock from Chinese Ecommerce Giant Shein

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

Cuomo Says Diversity Can Be a ‘Strength’ and a ‘Weakness’ in Interview

New York City, like any place, is not perfect, but it is the only place on earth where I've ever been wished "Shanah Tovah" in a Yemeni bodega. Please don't let this guy ruin that. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/n...

"GE Appliances" is a subsidiary of Haier. Y'all's washing machines are not made by the same corporate entity that makes airplane engines.

Even the airplane-mounted gas turbines aren't made by the same corporate entity that makes gas turbines for electrical grid power generation

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
