It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

Rage 🧵: A few years ago, our neighbors complained to the city about the plant growth on a steep slope in our backyard. It’s so steep that lawn care companies told me they won’t mow it. The city didn’t care. They threatened us with thousands of dollars in fines. I ended up writing about it:

My wife, a prodigious sleep-talker, failed to disclose her affliction when we started dating, which led to the fright of my life the night she sat bolt upright in bed and in a low flat monotone loudly declared that “THIRTEEN BABIES REMAIN UNFATHERED.”

More I think about this, the more I want it.

None of us can afford to play video games as a hobby anymore. But we can still have gaming discourse with an adaptation of The Player of Games.

I don’t think trying to impress Jodie Foster is a good reason to kill Ronald Reagan, actually.

This is a good idea, but ultimately it needs to be paired with unemployment insurance finance reform.

Never mind Blackrock. We need to ban Ken Paxton from acquiring real estate.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

The word “racist” doesn’t apply to individuals that don’t wield power. You might call him bigoted (I don’t) but until one of his fellow black or brown Marines call him that then you should be careful about throwing around insults.

This is the only kind of bedtime abolition I support.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.
