Just a regular reminder that 51% of accounts online are bots. And a portion of the remainder are troll farms running sock puppet accounts. Save your energy and don’t argue with these people because they are not people. They are there to propagandize you or to grift. Or both.

Heads up, transit nerds. I have to recommend this Metroboard from the Design Rules Company. They have them for multiple cities. I'm obsessed with my NYC one. It shows real time subway train activity. It's a little pricey and you may have to wait awhile for delivery, but it's worth it.

Saw Coyote vs ACME yesterday and absolutely loved it. If you are a Looney Tunes fan, you're going to be delighted. It's a bit like Roger Rabbit, where the toons exist in the human world. I can't believe Warner Bros. tried to nix this film.

Israeli settlers are raging out of control on the West Bank, and Gaza is an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. Could the Israeli election in October change this? My take: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/o...

If Netanyahu is ousted in October’s balloting, don’t expect peace to break out, but the worst violence might be reined in.

ICE increased its presence in Inwood this week and even attacked a bystander with pepper spray. The uptown NYC community turned out for a rally this morning to share resources and emphasize that we won't tolerate ICE thugs.

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

In the recent NY-13 race, Kalshi had the incumbent Espaillat up considerably right before polls closed, and that changed quickly once the returns actually started coming in. Within about 45 minutes, they had the challenger like 98% favored to win.

The amount of racism coming from Espaillat supporters in the NY-13 race has been wild. It's mostly around a rumor campaign where they claim Darializa isn't Dominican, then insist she's Haitian, which they use like a slur. They're doing it directly at polling sites when talking to voters.

In NY-13 (uptown Manhattan, West Bronx), we have a great progressive choice for Congress: Darializa Avila Chevalier. She's focused on affordable housing, redirecting money from bombs abroad to social programs at home, abolishing ICE, and she doesn't take AIPAC money (unlike the incumbent, Espaillat)
