I drive up Meridian every workday and had to reroute at 82nd Street due to the closure this morning. When I found my way around to 86th & Meridian's northeast corner to keep going, I glanced over and the debris was everywhere, and two vehicles were just destroyed. 😢

I just checked to make sure I was registered to vote, and I looked at Who's On The Ballot. There's only a Libertarian candidate for U.S. Representative, Seventh District. Is there still a pending deadline for Congressman André Carson to file, or is my ballot in error, or is something else going on?

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Here are 17 of the 21 courses of the tasting menu I luxuriated in at Nightshade Noodle Bar on Saturday night, plus a picture of me having the friggin’ time of my life.

Just dropped my car off for service and am taking a Lyft to work. I am very curious whether my driver, Rolando, would be listening to the music that’s currently playing (Air Supply and Elton John) on his own or if he guessed (correctly) that this would be my preference. 😊

Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

A weekend in New England! Not like the one Barry Manilow sang about (except geographically). Looking forward to seeing the beach, eating lobstah, seeing a show I’ve never seen before, and enjoying a 21-course tasting menu tomorrow before heading home on Sunday. Don’t touch my stuff while I’m gone.

I hate this man's smug, lying face. I hate his face with my entire life.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

"The injection injured" doesn't sound like a real thing, but I'm curious enough to learn more. Has Sen. Johnson proposed increasing funding for federal research into suicide, especially among those who experienced adverse vaccine effects?

Holy shit. Local talk radio dipshit just now, talking about how Covid was an exacerbating factor in many deaths, not the cause itself…because apparently we’re re-litigating the Covid response: “[The police didn’t kill George Floyd.] George Floyd was a drug abuser, and George Floyd killed himself.”
