New Yorkers had to subsidize the $117 million that the NYPD paid out for misconduct lawsuits in 2025 alone, even though most of them were never personally abused by a cop. Where's your worried op-ed on that one?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
It's instructive, and frustrating, to go to a movie you think you might enjoy & have it disappoint in every way... Style over substance, a gimmick that actively hinders story and character thus wasting actors, especially poor use of the leading lady, an ending I hope they didn't think was profound.
The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

What's a better promotional item than cold, hard legal* currency? This Lincoln penny is extremely cool, a tie-in to IF DESTRUCTION BE OUR LOT, @ashcanpress.com & Mark Elijah Rosenberg and @andymacdonald.bsky.social's existential sci-fi about a Lincoln robot roaming the world. *definitely not
I was at SDCC for a day and aside from forcing people to look at preview images from the comic I wrote, I bought one fun thing, the @mattkindt.bsky.social & @brihurtt.bsky.social FORT PSYCHO comic-in-a-can with army men inside; a silver army man got me a MIND MGMT @jesselonergan.bsky.social variant.
Check out REVIVAL when it hits Netflix, a fun and suspenseful horror series from Syfy based on @hackintimseeley.bsky.social & Mike Norton's comic! Pals of mine worked on the show under @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social's leadership and may many more audiences check out the freaky fruits of their labours. :)
Aaron B. Koontz@aaronbkoontz.bsky.social · 5d agoOur show about 2nd chances gets exactly that. 8/24, all 10 episodes of REVIVAL drop on Netflix! We designed this series to be binged and now a massive Netflix audience can see it the way we always envisioned (and TV-MA to boot!)
One of these I watched in 70mm and my hint is that it wasn't the Hallmark movie.

One year since the City of Toronto implemented a bylaw to prevent bad-faith evictions for renovations, tenant lawyers say calls about “renovictions” have been reduced to nearly zero.
Since Toronto’s renoviction bylaw took effect a year ago, calls about such evictions have ‘all but disappeared’

man I will just never get over the fact that the collective response to the pandemic, and an absolutely miraculous vaccine development, was to destroy public health in this country and smear everyone involved I generally take a positive view of humanity overall but it's so depressing

Agree with @jamellebouie.net that it's pretty clear Elon Musk wanted to eviscerate USAID *for the purpose of killing as many African people as possible.* Mass death wasn't an accidental byproduct of his "deep state" paranoia; it was a key mission of DOGE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...

I made it to OutfestNEXT to see ON THE ROAD (EN EL CAMINO), a Mexican thriller about a queer young drifter on the run, and the trucker he hitches a ride with. There's a surprisingly tender strain of romance in a film that lives in an otherwise more unforgiving world. letterboxd.com/film/on-the-...

"Hustle" is just working yourself to the bone & praying the payout comes before the burnout. That ain't aspirational, and it certainly ain't sustainable.
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 2w agoAlso, the materiality cannot be overstated. Black people are struggling financially. And not in the broke kind of way but in the existential “they are trying to send us back to plantation kind of way”. The hustle has been thoroughly knocked, my man.
