NYC Mayor Mamdani announced the release of a public portal to access records surrounding 9/11. The portal will serve as an update to Hanlon's razor: sometimes the explanation is both malice and stupidity.

Braindead (1992).....but if that's cheating, then Brain Damage (1988) Rec (2007) Oddity (2024) Orphanage (2007)* Kill List (2011) Evil Dead (1981) *if this isn't allowed cuz of "The," then replace with: Orphan (2009)

Almost no one ever in your entire life of riding public transport has the desire or means to kill you but every single driver on the road would splash your guts across the pavement to get to the next red light 30 seconds sooner.

When the flight attendant comes around to collect trash, I lock eyes to make sure she sees me put my free-cookie wrapper in the bag. I am helpful. I can be trusted in the sky.

I'm going to confess something: I never learned how to type properly and do an interesting spider crawl flurry across the keyboard. I can do this very quickly, without looking, but it is not correct. Over the past few days, I've decided to attempt teaching myself the proper way to type......

For the 2028 Olympics, Los Angeles plans to expand its subway system to increase accessibility. This is a reminder that: 1. LA has a subway system 2. The project is already behind schedule 3. In the likely event transit isn't ready, Olympians will chauffeur spectators to events by piggyback ride
