love the new landlord/broker thing asking for a "CPA letter" to verify freelance income. what if you simply accepted money in exchange for goods and services?

sorry but does this seem like the kind of thing a congressman who banned a constituent from all six of his McDonald's franchises would do? or the same congressman who subsequently sold all six of his McDonald's to fund his re-election?
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 22h agoThis just might be the most psychotic act of sexual harassment I’ve ever seen. Not the worst per se, or most menacing but in terms of sheer insanity it’s really up there.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
ebikes should have to be in the street, like cars, but also they should not be allowed to be as fast as all of the cars. everyone, including drivers, will be happier that way. i'm a policymaker and i've thought about this a lot.
Last week, while walking my daughter home from camp in her stroller, a car with Virginia plates and $8000 in NY traffic fines blew threw a red light and honked at us to get out of the way while we crossed the street. Maybe start there instead of some dramatized Citi Bike nonsense.
Speaker Julie Menin@speakermenin.bsky.social · yesterdayEvery New Yorker deserves to move around our city freely and safely, regardless of how they get around. That’s why the NYC Council is launching a comprehensive review of where existing laws can be stronger enforced, and what additional solutions are needed to keep New Yorkers safe.
in that bad, housing-search fallow period where the only new stuff in the search results is just places that have conspicuously dropped their price because people have gotten wise to the bedbug situation
the Politico piece on the brain-drain in right-wing policy shops was good, some fun and revealing comments, but also just kind of like a weather report at this point. this is what they're working with. this is why you get into Republican politics now.
steven monacelli@stevanzetti.bsky.social · yesterdaySomething I missed in this reporting... Brandon Herrera said in 2023: “Just because you let somebody creampie you doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about your political opinions. The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit they say.” His response...
latest poll in the tennessee GOP gov. primary at 35–31 which is most narrower than John Rose's usual gap
can't remember, do presidents usually summon us attorneys to the oval office to pressure them on individual cases
perennially on-the-market spot in a cursed building finally took down its listing so it could reset the "days on the market" clock to 1, with the text "INCREDIBLE DEAL WILL NOT LAST"
industry is absolutely reviled and its turning to its closers, kyrsten sinema and eric adams
Jessy Edwards@jessyedwards.bsky.social · 2d agoA video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.
it's a shame that transfer-market reporting wasn't around back in Carlos Roa's day
looking at a two-bedroom above a grocery store whose main selling point in the listing is "heated towel rods." what's the story there.
And this is why we should cite Abby’s reporting and not other news outlets aggregating it 🙂
Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 3d agoI first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.
Does anybody have any questions about my reporting on Congressman Max Miller and the allegations he faces?
the funniest thing that happened in politics in the last few years—not an especially funny time in politics—was NYC brokers holding a rally for brokers' fees outside city hall
let's take a moment also to celebrate the first absolute meatball down the middle getting fucking crushed. the first woman in pro baseball league history to get her shit rocked

"Panic Room," the famous 2002 documentary about finding a new apartment in New York City
you do learn so many of the ins and outs of heists from heist movies. it's sort of like watching a lot of football. i'm not saying i could do the job, but i feel like i know enough now to identify who else couldn't do it.
you've obviously got to hear "vandals" in the voice of the priest at the end of "The Rock" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nzB...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoTrump: “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned …There may have been some contractor difficulty, but major damage was caused by VANDALS!”
also sounds like that vaunted warrior culture didn't measure up
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 4d agoIt is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...
The only creative industry that is inarguably both doing well and doing great work right now is "new baseball guy names."

"Sherman's March" is tremendous cinema. was thinking that Charleen should have her own movie, only to discover that she actually does.
