What strikes me here is you can see the reporter becoming apologetic and embarrassed just because he pushes back on ridiculous questioning. Yes, Democrats have the ability to control and shape narratives just as much as Republicans do!

It’s time to fire Tisch. I think people have been patient long enough. She sucks, she’s undermining Mamdani left and right, and it’s only going to get worse. I think keeping her on is just self-sabotage at this point.

Hurricane Isaias has shut in 1.28 million barrels per day of US Gulf oil, 62.89% of output, and 57.35% of Gulf gas. 121 of 371 manned platforms have been evacuated. A rather neat example of how dumb it is to double down on fossil fuels during a climate breakdown www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Remember when they put out their side of the story on the shooting of Oscar Belgal that they will lie about anything and everything.

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

Anyways, seems like the kind of thoughtless remark one might make when feeling particularly emotional if you spent all your online time on a platform full of people gleefully celebrating genocide in Gaza. So another good reason not to use that burning pile of garbage that is X.

Seems insane to have to say it but killing civilians is wrong no matter what. As a citizen of a country that has done a lot of evil around the world but also would not like to see my children killed for the sins of others I have a very big problem with the idea civilians are ever legitimate targets

If you are arguing that there is no innocent [person of any nationality whatsoever] then you are making the case for genocide

Without clicking, I assume he is lobbying senators to sponsor legislation enacting a three day work week using his immense wealth and influence. Otherwise this would be a flimsy premise for an article.

I was going to vote for Democrats this November but then I saw an Onion article gently poking fun at party leadership. Now I'm going to vote for a Republican.

I want my kids to actually learn how to do things, and I’m extremely dubious there is any application of AI they could use that would help them instead of learning things by just doing them. AI is being pushed hardest by some of the worst people in America and that oughta be a red flag

I’m not discounting this as a factor but some people just don’t want a lot of kids or no kids at all. That’s okay too. The obsession with birth rates from wealthy people is downright weird.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

9 months ago, ICE agent Jonathan Ross murdered Renée Good in broad daylight and called her a "fucking bitch" as he walked away. Renée's family and our community have yet to see justice for this senseless murder. It's unacceptable. We must prosecute and abolish ICE.

I saw a teenager exit a late model BMW with aftermarket features near the local high school a couple weeks ago, and though "that's an expensive car for a teenager". Two days later I saw the same car tear down my 25 MPH residential block at 40 MPH. But e-bikes are the problem.

Unmarked NYPD cars are in the same category as construction/carting vehicles—you give them a wide berth, in their case not due to design flaws but because they are frequently operated by people with a sociopathic disregard for the safety of civilians

If you need any more evidence that: 1. Twitter is the hitler site 2. You, as a socialist, should not be on the hitler site 3. Social media in general, here included, cultivates a lot of people, you included, into emotive reactionaries and should not ultimately be where you shape your ideas.

I'll leave this guy's mentions alone but it is interesting how if an individual cyclist does something stupid all cyclists become responsible for it, but if an individual driver does something stupid it's just the one irresponsible motorist and doesn't indict all motorists.
RIP my mentions, but: To the biker who flew down the bike lane and nearly crashed into my daughters as they were exiting a school bus with its lights on yesterday -- you realize that this is why bikers don't always have the most sympathetic reputation, right?

Because there is yet again another article blaming e-bikes for cars killing people, I am once again asking why, as we are facing a climate emergency and the highest gas prices ever, every newspaper in the country has decided to whip people up in a frenzy against bikes.

I'm assuming you saw two people cross the street after they judged it was safe to cross, even if technically not legal. People in cars ignoring traffic signals is far more dangerous to pedestrians and far more common.
