Twice today, a convicted felon died and the media gave the deceased a total glow-up obituary as if they were an honorable man. One was a sexual assaulter of children, the other an embezzling pastor. Two unforgivable circumstances. But not unforgivable to the obituary slop machine!!!

It would be fascinating to read in 20 years what intelligent, motivated people were thinking and seeing today. Frankly I think the people in 2046 are going to have more 2006 to read about than 2026 to read about, the way things are going

I do think that the grief-fueled anger is justified, but so many of us have decades in front of us, memories, and some leftover photos/writings. Or, we can start documenting again today like it’s our first day on the Internet - and not in walled-garden places

I think, yes. Absolutely. We had this “fixed” and the things that broke it were no less devastating than a flood or house fire, with the added gall of many people doing it on purpose. But We get to do it again every day. This time maybe more durable and better-edited

Relax, Debra Messing isn't endorsing a Republican because she's a bigot, she's endorsing a Republican because she's a Manhattan car driver who hates congestion pricing. The fact that she's a bigot has nothing to do with it.

We still do not have crash investigations done correctly and we still dishonor victims by happily accepting bad sourcing. By the way, the dog lived. I did not want to see any harm come of the dog but to all the people who said “is the dog okay?” You can fuck off forever

For fuck’s sake. So many of the initial details in this story were wrong. The guy was riding a TREK (which is usually NOT an exceptional bicycle). And he was wearing a helmet and still died. But everyone’s running their mouths on the initial (bad) police details 7ny.tv/gFZKsI

I’ll say it until I die or (unlikely) it stops happening: No one should have their “concerns” signal-boosted if an easy search of public information shows that they’re selfishly against any changes for public benefit. 99% of the people with “concerns” have an against-everything track record

Yeah. Helmet-less is not blame-worthy And although a helmet is a good idea, it's not a good idea because cyclists are obligated to prepare for bystanders causing them to violently crash due to pure negligence

Among all the complaints about cyclists being irresponsible and annoying, we hear very little about how bystanders are irresponsible and just plain stupid around cyclists as well. And the first instinct by a lot of nasty people (including electeds) in these situations is to victim-blame
