This past weekend I volunteered at the Little Island Bake Sale in NYC! It was amazing! So many great chefs there! And I injuried my wrist from selling so many tickets. Not sure if I am the first person to have an injury from selling bake sale tickets…
Two people I know who worked near the Twin Towers and who were made to return to work after they fell because the govt said the air was safe went on to develop lung cancer & die. I am glad Mayor Mamdani released this. Fuck Giuliani & the mayors who hid this for 25 years! www.cnn.com/2026/09/08/u...

I don't like that LeBron partnership with Polymarket, at all. I didn't like Giannis partnering with Kalshi either. Matter of fact, I don't like athletes, past or present, partnering with gambling sites, period.

My name is Sarah, I live in Brooklyn, grew up in the Seattle. One of my favorite lyrics is in Langhorne Slim song “By the Time the Sun Goes Down” when he sings I run into some people and They ask me how you are I'll tell them that you're doing well And hope that they step in front of a car
John Moe@johnmoe.bsky.social · last wk.Hi, I'm John Moe, a writer and podcast maker in Saint Paul. I am married with three mostly grown kids and two nice dogs. I like in "Misunderstood" when Tweedy throws in extra syllables on "Take the guitar player for a ride". Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?
Had such a good night snack -toasted whole wheat sour dough toast, butter, honey and salt.
PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.
When text were 10cents each. My younger sister cost my parents $100s of dollars one bill. My dad took her phone and smashed it. She found the SIM card and took my mom’s old phone out of the junk drawer.

Will they join all the people who left NYC after Zohran was elected? Or all the people who left New Jersey after the wealth tax?
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · last mo.WaPo making same claim that’s been disproven again & again. Who do they imagine these people are, willing to pay the price of abandoning home, friends, lives they’ve built. “Sorry, kids, we’re leaving the only home you’ve ever known & all our friends to pay 7% state tax instead of 8%.”
For all the books I had to read growing up with males being selfish, shitty and treating women poorly (catcher on the rye, on the road….); they have options.

Damn. Really curious what amazing books the Tates brothers, Joe Rogan and others are would have written if podcasts weren’t around?

My first love and high school boyfriend emotional abused me. We had several fights where I thought he would hit me. I remember making myself small to try and hide as he yelled at me. But he was a “nice” guy and had isolated me from all my friends.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · last mo.The wife of Rep. Max Miller accused him of spraying her w/ hot water. He has denied he abused her. Today, he released a transcript of a conversation w/ her--and JFC, it is not exactly exculpatory. "I didn't mean to hurt you" he says, after admitting he sprayed her www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/982qz...
![MILLER: (30:00) Well, what, well okay, but what do you have that you're going to release that I'm abusive? MORENO: (30:06] Because you-you were. You poured steaming hot water on me, and you've also, you have been insanely emotionally abusive. And have photos of my--me that my mom took at my house with me with scars on my neck, and you've actually seen those photos. MILLER: [30:20] What are you talking about? That wasn't from me- and you know that wasn't from me. MORENO: (30:24] Yes, was. When you poured hot water on my neck? And I fucking left for my parent's house? MILLER: [30:28] First of all, didn't, I didn't. First of all, I didn't pour hot water on your neck. MORENO: [30:30] Or you, you, you took the fucking faucet and poured it on my neck. MILLER: [30:33] First of all, first of all, the water incident-which have the text messages from that we have, even following up after that -I never thought that that hurt you, and you know that. MORENO: [30:44] I literally went into my closet, went into the laundry and started crying.
MILLER: (30:48] But, but even within the text message? MORENO: [30:51] Okay, let's see them. MILLER: (30:56] Okay, it literally says, did not think that you were hurting, you were laughing the entire time. I am deeply sorry if that hurt you. I have it, you can pull it up, you have the same one. There is nothing there that is in any admission of guilt that I thought that I was hurting you whatsoever. [One sentence concerning an unrelated third party omitted - corresponds to the gap between EX-513 and EX- 514. EXCERPT 2 (EX-514) MILLER: (31:52] t was never done to hurt you with intent. It never was done to hurt you, and you know that. MORENO: [31:58] No, it is true, and if you knew it was because when you went into my-you went into the laundry room when was crying. MILLER: [32:02] -So-so-so, so- MORENO: (32:04] -And you literally, you started crying saying I didn't mean to hurt you, why are you scared of me?

Just saw someone reading the last page of their book and a happy smile. Wanted to ask what book, but, letting them have that final moment with those words that made them smile is more is important.
I used to work at FOX12 KPTV in Portland. The guy I dated at the time always said FOX5, because that was the FOX station he heard of in NYC and he didn’t care. Now I live in NYC with FOX5, whenever I see it I still hear his voice belittling me.

NJ doesn’t need his motorcade circus turning the finals into a massive target. Let Mexico or Canada’s leaders do it. Trump can stay in DC and golf.

I am so tired of Democrats being told to be moderate. Feels like men telling women we should be seen and not heard. Fuck that
Mark Zaid, Esq@markzaidesq.bsky.social · 3mo agoWe are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists. If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side. We need moderates.
