If you're not listening to Maintenance Phase, what are you even doing? Are you anti-laughter? Are you canceling comedy, research, AND 90s two-hit wonders?

Somewhere in NYC, about 5 or 6 years ago, an ice cream truck vendor was kind to a street cat, and now my cat remembers you every time he hears the jingle. He perches on his tower to look out the window and purrs. My cat has so many fears and triggers. This is one happy memory. Thank you #caturday
Amazing that esteemed literary discourse revolves around a man and his cookie.
Listening to @edzitron.com now is like listening to Nouriel Roubini before 2007. He's not reading tea leaves. He's reading financial statements and ratings downgrades and seeing clear gigantic FUBAR. Managers of retirement portfolios should be criminally liable for investing in the AI Ponzi scheme.
Hi Canada, it's NYC. Please use goats to eat the dry forest undergrowth before it catches fire. I'm trapped inside with my air purifier for days. Please and thank you.
Brooklyn, you are about to have the leader of your dreams!!! Julio will organize a Democratic Party you can be proud of, and you better believe he will focus on those contests against Republicans in South Brooklyn. I have the utmost respect for him and I can't wait to see his dynamism at full power!
New Kings Democrats@newkingsdems.bsky.social · 3w agoBrooklyn is going to have a new Democratic Party. The Brooklyn Can’t Wait coalition of 22 incoming District Leaders have voted to nominate and elect District Leader @juliopenabk.com as Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair this coming September. 1/x

How many times are we going to do the tulip bubble? We're centuries later. Why are con men still so powerful?
I’ve seen a few articles on the last iron lung user passing away. Guess what most headlines leave out. She did not die from her polio complications. The cause is directly stated as long covid. She was living a relatively independent life, until she got long covid. This is who you’re hurting.
I once wrote Dante had Beatrice; Orwell had Stalin; for political writers their muses are not the good things. Wrote this in one sitting today.

Any Dem presidential candidate who *isn't* emphasizing court expansion will lose the primary. It will take two years to educate Dems in Congress that if they're not onboard, they will also be primaried out.

Last night, Brooklyn Democratic voters sent a message. 22 Brooklyn Can’t Wait candidates won their seats — making up a majority of District Leaders in Brooklyn. 1/🧵
The best leader for the new Brooklyn Democratic Party would be @juliopenabk.com !!!
Frank Carone and his brother (allegedly) pumped the managers of a tiny Queens hotel for bribes in exchange for city contracts. The feds have texts of the managers complaining.
Hey, everybody who hates Jay Jacobs: the reformers' win against the Brooklyn machine last night bodes very well for us! If the Brooklyn delegation doesn't attend the state cmte, they can't make quorum :) With those kinds of numbers, it really is possible to vote him out.
Holy fucking shit. I poured years of my life into this until I got too sick to do anything. Brooklyn is going to have a genuine Democratic Party for the first time in FOREVER.
Michael Caley@michaelcaley.bsky.social · last mo.Brooklyn Can't Wait candidates are now uncontested or leading in 22 seats, out of 42 that is a majority, enough to elect a new chair I think we did it
Well, I'm not mad about losing to a party I'm also a member of. It's great losing to a socialist instead of a centrist!
the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

My neighbor told me the UK keep eating his PMs so l asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to the UK and then his daughter started crying
