A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

I think the main reason Sliwa didn't drop out was specifically to spoil Cuomo. A true hater. Love it.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

This is monstrous. Lethal injections are neither painless nor humane; the paralytics just make it look that way. The government should not be allowed to execute people in this way, if at all. The Supreme Court Justices who ignored new evidence to push through this order are complicit in torture.

There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

I will continue to insist that it should be against law for government officials to lie in the course of doing their jobs. The default standard when they are speaking officially should be that they are under oath as if they're testifying in court.

Mamdani is great, but we need to be making the point that "doing actual things to help the people in the municipality you lead" should be just like, totally normal stuff. What he's accomplished says more about every previous mayor than it does about Mamdani.

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

New Yorkers should know whether the apartment they’re looking at is real. That’s why we’re working to require apartment listings to clearly disclose when images and videos have been generated by AI. Finding a home in New York is hard enough without artificially generating more problems.

Is That Fireplace Real or A.I.?
Listing sites are littered with homes with fake fireplaces, improved views and virtual landscaping, raising false advertising concerns.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

What we have is an entire class of people who genuinely believe that everyone in America is as gullible as they are, and the only way they can rationalize why their psyops don't work to change opinion is to believe that someone else is doing a different psyop opposing them.

a year later, looking back, I think Charlie Kirk marks the high water mark of the right's cultural dominance for a little bit there they actually managed to force civil society as a whole to crack down on people saying mean shit about one of their own, and it turned out to be a massive overreach

Biden accused by GOP of 'bribing' voters with student loan forgiveness
The Biden administration unveiled its latest effort to forgive as much as $20,000 in debt for some borrowers on Monday after the Supreme Court struck down its original plan last year.
