I do think Jeffries is pretty clearly better than Schumer. I would very much like leadership that is better than both, but idk. I think the difference matters.

Look upon my 10-point hand. Full suit. One flower. Self-draw on the last tile.
A 10-point mahjong hand made up of all bamboo tiles (full suit), four flowers (only one is my flower). 
The winning tile was self-drawn as the last tile of the hand.

A major function of Park Place is to connect to the Oculus, PATH, and ferry. The Fulton 2/3 could not pick up the slack if it was removed.

One more thing about the death penalty before going offline. As disgusted as we should be by Trump's bloodlust, we should NOT lose sight of the CENTRAL role of Democrats in upholding, expanding, and enabling this system that seems to horrify so many people right now. It really cannot be said enough.

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

But those brackets are the size of the Chrysler Building. Any promises from Meta of future improvements do not offset the unpredictability (in both nature and scope) of its inevitable mistakes. I understand folks' powerful desire for a tool that can carry those burdens for them, this is not it.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

"Doctors, lawyers and engineers" is an international online Nazi trope. The "joke" is that non-White people are too stupid to be anything other than a criminal or someone who leeches social services. Read a Spanish newspaper about Ceuta, e.g., and you'll see "médicos y ingenieros" in the comments.

You can get these people on board for discrete policy items like pesticide bans maybe, but they are animated by a belief that if everyone just followed their elaborate health mythology, we'd all be cured and live forever. And the fact that someone isn't and is sick? Their fault.

Based on the reaction of the defense attorney. They wouldn't have sought to exclude the holdout if the holdout was their only 'not guilty.' They also knew it probably wouldn't work, but they wanted to avoid a mistrial because they're also very sure they're winning.

The distracted driving discourse is already popping off but I’d just like to throw in: I’ve been an insurance adjuster for almost 13 years. When I started, we almost never saw high speed rear end impacts. Now they’re like the most common type of claim. It’s distractions, this is obvious.

Post a perfect album from the 2000s (2000-2009)
The album cover for the 2003 reissue of Broken Social Scene's You Forgot It In People, originally released in 2002. The cover is visually sparse, with just the band name on the top left and album name on the bottom right separated by white, block like shapes.The text is mostly black with some characters in blue. The text is mostly capital letters and there are multiple mismatched sans serif fonts used.

So this is my official pitch for a new PBS show, Alan Ritchson Holds Tiny Animals. Each episode consists of two segments, each segment starts with Alan (and the audience) patiently learning facts about the animal he will hold. He can wear his little glasses so we know he's taking it seriously.
