The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
I went to the fish restaurant with the big picture of the fish on the kiosk. I read the menu, which had ten different kinds of fish. I ordered the Big Fish Sampler Platter. And to my shock, they brought me fish! I hate fish! I had to sit there eating yucky fish! This is somehow not my fault.

Well, I'll make sure I do mine this week!!
Ars TechnicaAI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Zack BeauchampStuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies
The existence of this bubble -- a place where marginalized populations could go to feel safe & accepted & joyful -- drove the wider patriarchal culture *insane*, so they attacked it & attacked it, made it a joke, dismissed it, marginalized it, killed it.

Trump's lawyers are in the Supreme Court right now establishing that, among other things, a future Dem president can declare a climate emergency and tariff the fuck out of whatever he wants.
well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy
I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.
We should implement a legal Rule of Cool where if you commit a crime in a super cool way and *nobody gets physically hurt,* you get total immunity. This will incentivize criminals towards showmanship and avoiding casualties. This is a really good idea.
The range increments of a full subway sandwich are only 10/20 so you have disadvantage on your throw more than a few paces away. You can double the range with a half-sandwich wrapped tightly and druis have a fifth-level subclass feature that removes disadvantage if the sandwich has sprouts
John RogersIt's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Mike Johnson bemoans able-bodied men collecting healthcare benefits from the government while not working--exactly what Mike Johnson is currently doing.
Aaron RuparMike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."
The joke about Kubrick I heard was that NASA hired him to fake it but after working with him they decided that just going to the moon would be easier.
