You can’t hurt me, I root for the Mets
Man it's so funny when James Carville threatens to leave the Democratic party, like oh no, now the party might have candidates who are actually popular with their constituents and have popular policy positions and win elections what are we going to do noooo don't
I’ve decided I have a first-degree connection to Abdul El-Sayed because I once sent him very positive course evaluation results.
Think about what $70 million could have done for Michigan other than making the Islamaphobe extra loud.

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
Sinister! A lot of NYPD resent Summer Streets for sulky culture war reasons (hatred of cyclists, car hog mentality, see healthy use of public space as “liberal”) and are trying to ruin it with costly security overkill. @mayor.nyc.gov needs to stop this shit cold even if it costs him
Streetsblog NYC@nyc.streetsblog.org · 2d agoSummer Streets attendees were stunned by the sheer number of police and their vehicles clogging many intersections — in what one cop called "overkill."

The Athletic@theathletic.com · 10h agoAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor to the Cubs for SS/3B Jefferson Rojas (#2 Cubs prospect on Pipeline), per Jon Heyman
There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.
I've been a fan of the New York Heights for 1 day, and they've already given up a 6 run lead late and lost the game.
I'ts hard to escape the impression that a certain faction of the Democratic Party just straight up does not believe that Arabs specifically -- and perhaps Muslims generally -- have a place as active players in American politics
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 6d agoi think el-sayed winning the michigan senate primary will permanently break the brains that were being held together by string since mamdani
Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.
Elias Thorne@truebe.horse · 6d agosaw an article today about an az politician saying how great it was that we're now in emergency drought conditions because the farmers get automatic bailouts and I feel like way more Professional Rural Understanders just breeze by sentences like that. www.paysonroundup.com/news/arizona...
If we want to talk about undercovered stories, the fact that DOGE is responsible for the wildfire smoke that the Midwest and East Coast experienced last week is up there.

Look, friends. I know that you don't think it's much. But the NYT Puzzles app is very much propping up the NYT's ideologically driven hate campaign against trans people. You gotta let your streak go. There are so many other puzzles out there you could be playing that won't fund hate.
Games are helping the New York Times thrive amid media chaos
A new Games app is on the way.

seller of bigotry offsets and indulgences@anem0ne.net · 6d agoyou're worried about your streak ending i'm worried because thanks to the nytimes normalizing anti-trans rhetoric, i won't be able to renew my passport, be careful which states i even consider traveling to, watch as more and more "allies" who "don't hate" regurgitate bigotry and right-wing framing
Steve Cohen is as evil as every other billionaire. Calling him Uncle Stevie and thinking he's better is you unc-washing him
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 6d agoThe New York Mets are making the startup Novig their official prediction-market partner, marking a first for Major League Baseball as the prediction-markets industry looks for a foothold in professional sports. on.wsj.com/4wqyNJO

Sitting in horrendous traffic caused by one delivery truck in the middle of the road and my daughter literally didn’t believe me when I told her they used to deliver in the middle of the night. It’s ludicrous that ever changed and a huge part of why Manhattan streets are barely functional.

The Covid Amnesia Project and the Plot to Erase 2020
It’s up to those of us who experienced the pandemic in the real-world to make sure that what actually happened in 2020 isn’t deliberately erased by sheltered disinformation agents who experienced

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 7d agoRunning out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...
The Times’ foaming at the mouth over Mamdani would be funny if so many of you weren’t still paying them.
Editing the Blue-Gray Lady@nytdiff.bsky.social · last wk.
If Biden had thrown Trump in the slammer we wouldn't be here. You can piss and moan all you want but J6 was history books shit and history books shit requires the President to do President shit. And he didn't. And now the guy who saved millions has to eat shit from a penis like Ron Johnson
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Ron Johnson claims the the "injection injured" are committing mass suicide
The man had the face card equivalent of an Amex Black and anyone who thinks otherwise can block me.
Craig Calcaterra@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · last wk.People who are, apparently, allowed to roam free in society are assailing me for saying that Val Kilmer was handsome. Reopen the damn schools.
They really do think there won’t be elections anymore. Hope they’re wrong!
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last wk.BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans — a move that could leave many seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year.
being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.
Any non-profit lawyers want to gift me a 20 minute phone call to bounce around some thoughts? It truly is for a very, very good cause.
