Shanah Tovah, New York! Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).
A top staffer with that profile pic definitely shares his opinions around the office......yet Jon Husted didn't fire him until it became public wapo.st/4ywh6Jo
You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.
[P] I might suggest “the Muppets must put on a variety show with a different guest host each week. Various shenanigans happen both on stage and backstage.”
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · yesterdayThere are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)
This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

Cool. Guess my current Apple Watch will be my last one. Do these companies genuinely not understand that all this does is save me a few hundred bucks and then purge their product’s relevance from my mind. Like I will simply not buy it and then never think about it ever again.
Andrew Couts@couts.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: The new Apple Watches double as AI-powered listening bugs for generating convo "recaps" or transcripts of any previous 15 seconds. But fear not, Apple says, this data isn't sent to Apple/gets encrypted, speakers aren't ID'd, and there's a chime for the 15-second thing. @lhn.bsky.social reports:
Tell me you haven’t been touched by a woman in decades without telling me you haven’t been touched by a woman in decades. This all boils down to “they aren’t looking at me.” Which I can confidently say based on this post alone is because you’re a vile loser.
Toby Buckle@polphilpod.bsky.social · 2d agomisogyny aside, does this sound like someone who is happy, whose life you'd want to have?
Two extraordinary charts from today’s PISA test results: 1) School test scores continue to collapse internationally, underscoring how this is no longer a Covid effect but sustained decline. Those falls in reading and maths are equivalent to about two years of lost schooling.
Evidence doesn't mean shit to these people. They call states the labs of democracy, do strict work requirements and we all see it utterly fail, but they keep pushing for what doesn't work while watching successful experiment after experiment of UBI, and lie about them failing and then even ban them.
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 4d agoTo many people, the notion that the “able-bodied” must labor sounds reasonable on its face, but it’s mostly just culture war; in reality, work requirements don’t meaningfully boost employment or do much to slash government debt.
The police have done the impossible - they have been able to con every news organization into reporting that Patrick Havas was not trying to kill Dr. Amy Acton. This is the George Orwell Hall Of Fame right here. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/u...
I'm still thinking about the absolutely wild intro to this LeBron fancam I found last night
After the Snowden leaks in 2013 exposed NSA mass surveillance much of the public reaction was "well, of course they're spying on us" and "they're not looking at *my* data." Flock is much closer to home and the harms, like police abuses, are far more tangible and visible to see at the local level.
Vigilantism comes for Flock
More Americans than ever are destroying Flock license plate cameras amid rising backlash against the company. Is the tide turning on intrusive U.S. mass surveillance, and where does the privacy fight ...

Matt Doyle gives #crew96 transfer window a C-: “I can't get over the fact that they still haven't gone out & found an obvious foundational piece at center back. Bailly has looked slow & kind of lost in his 120 minutes thus far, & nobody's expecting him to be fit for more than a few games, right?” 😬
Matthew Doyle@mattdoyle.bsky.social · last wk.The transfer window is closed and the grades are in! I weighed in on the work all 30 MLS teams did this summer. And look, there's a lot to talk about. But one thing's now pretty clear: Red Bull should sell the club & get out. tacticsfreezone.ghost.io/transfer-gra...
John Fetterman called in sick to avoid a meeting with three Pennsylvania paralyzed military veterans. Then he walked into the office less than an hour later to shoot a Fox News interview www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
The recent episode of the @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social with Fetterman was a difficult listen. He couldn’t track the conversation, seemed unable to comprehend the questions asked of him, and constantly stumbled over his words or said things that made no sense. Just mentally unfit for office.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · last wk.Behind closed doors, John Fetterman dodges constituents, alienates fellow Democrats and shows little interest in the work of a senator.
Mayor Suburbs is about to hold a press conference. He's expected to come out in favor of banning Flock after singing its praises.... just last week. The early word is that a city cop on the executive protection unit for city council was using it to look up women. So that's nice.
This isn’t a knock on any of the reporters, obviously, but pretty wild that in a city of a million people for a story of this magnitude… there are only about five of them who get to ask questions of those in power.
Louder for the people in the back! The billionaires fight against universal basic income so hard because they know it would offer too much opportunity for people to open small businesses, or actually make a modest living from selling at farmers markets.
Just absolutely insane that the summer window is about to close and #Crew96 have not added a single defender of any significance, despite the GM himself admitting this was a need. Where can I get a job where I’m paid not to solve the issues I was hired to solve?
🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:
Governor Mike DeWine has now expressed more sympathy for the victim than Dr. Acton or Sherrod Brown. I suppose their teams would argue they have elections to win but Brown’s silence on Springfield didn’t help him against Bitcoin Bernie Moreno.

That’s because the Ohio statehouse is doing everything they can to prevent the local governments from raising money to fund themselves after the Ohio GOP robbed the local funds.

I’m turning this match off just to watch reruns of 30 Rock. A sitcom that ended 13 years ago and which I’ve seen front-to-back at least once before. Just in case anyone was curious how much faith I have in this #Crew96 team.
Is this what it’s like to be a Browns fan? Is this just the inevitable outcome for a Haslam owned sports team? #Crew96
