if there’s one thing New Yorkers love, it’s when a member of a legacy family business goes out on their own in the same field people project all kinds of their own family drama onto the situation, which may be entirely drama-free to the people involved!

flashy car stunts are fun, flashy car stunts pretending to be technology advances as a stock pump that will drain pension funds and retirement savings suuuuuuuuck nobody’s giving Michael Bay no-bid government contracts for much better-looking stunts

what the New York Times thinks is “a lot of people” is actually only a very small number of people the rest of us are background actors and non-player characters

It's probably better to think of Elon Musk as, first and foremost, a white nationalist billionaire who works to spread racism and elect Republicans and, secondly, as someone who likes to blow up rockets in his spare time.

I absolutely get why nobody recruited him at the start of the campaign, because as you say, he was busy campaigning for Gov but the weeks of hand-wringing about how Platner couldn’t be cut loose because there was noooooobody else seems silly now

we were assured that Platner was the only person in Maine who could appeal to Angry White Dads how could anyone have known about this obscure ::checks notes:: longtime logger/legislator? it’s not like he was the head of the state Senate or ::checks notes:: ah, well, nevertheless

teaching Land Without Bread used to be an interesting experience because students would get so angry at the idea of something in a purported documentary being faked now I’m sure they would just be all shruggo about it

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

I have a friend who has an MD but has never taken medical boards or practiced medicine I wouldn't call him a doctor, and he certainly wouldn't take a job that is ordinarily held by licensed, board-certified doctors and use a title like "Medical Director" as Ms. Z has done as "General Counsel" 🤷🏻‍♀️

every cycle is almost instantaneous now I feel like I'm going to get up in the morning, put on my trendiest new outfit, and then by 3 p.m. be mocked by a group of teens for being hopelessly out of date then by 9 p.m. be interviewed for a street style TikTok about my vintage fashion
