Michigan could swing Democratic if more Democrats turn out and choose to support their nominee. But the real challenge is the risk that more Republicans will turn out and vote for their nominee instead. This is something the Democrats will absolutely have to keep their eyes on.

This audience's response to the new Spider-Man movie has triggered the looming terror, known only to comics journalists, that comic book movies might be making a comeback.

These—I can hardly write the word, but I must—𝘵𝘰𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘴; these private receptacles of eight million urban guts, tucked away in our apartments, have deprived New York's sidewalks of the fresh waste that gave them their essential character. They have flushed our city's charm away.

This is it boys, the platonic "New York can never get better" piece www.archpaper.com/2026/07/litt...

The parking is an issue that will be hotly contested, but the real problem is the aesthetics. These dumpsters —it is important to use this word, because that is what they will be in practice—will drastically alter the visual streetscape of the city. The main problem is that these dumpsters will be on the street 24/7. Currently, trash bags are typically on the street two mornings each week, with only a handful of weekend routes. Yes, these bags smell and attract rats, but there is no guarantee that the dumpsters will fully alleviate either problem. Instead, they will introduce worse problems. The bins will contribute to the sense of New York becoming more "sanitized" each day, where it is gentrified and perhaps physically cleaner but losing its character and history. The West Harlem pilot was launched with 1,100 dumpsters in an area with no historic district designation, a set of protocols designed to protect the visual character of the streetscape. While they reduced reports of rats, they are limited as a case study. Once enacted, the Empire Bins will destroy the character of neighborhoods. We will have fewer cars and more dumpsters.

I just saw a commercial for Meta apps scored to "Five Years" by David Bowie, and I actually think that's a level of jaw-droppingly oblivious irony Bowie would have approved of.
