It angers me so much that news outlets keep putting out articles about data centers in space without asking about the Stephan-Boltzmann law and how these scam companies plan on getting around basic thermodynamics.

Republicans saying the new bill benefits the average American is like a restaurant saying they've reduced prices... but they can no longer guarantee they don't use rat meat, you only get 15 minutes to eat, and you have to bring your own cutlery.

Maybe non-scientists should spend less time looking under rocks for the "origins" of Autism and more time doing simple things to improve the quality of life for the people who have it.

RFK Jr out here like "Autistic people will never pay taxes, have a job, fall in love, use the bathroom unassisted, chainsaw a whale carcass, hide a dead bear in central park, never be loved by his family, never get back the part of their brain eaten by worms... Wait what was I talking about?"

Kennedy can, and I am putting this mildly, jam a pube-laden spatula into his eye, hiccup violently, and fall down a flight of stairs into a vase containing fire ants with thumb-tacks glued to their heads. Just saying. He could. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...

Happy Confederate Surrender day to all who celebrate. Please drink a cup of racist apologist tears and salute President Grant on this joyous day. Seriously tho Grant is fucking awesome. Favorite President hands down. He even gets what I think is the best position on the national mall.

Fun fact for my Bay Ridge folks! Take a walk along the water for the next few weeks. If the tariffs don't get removed by Republicans, you'll be able to see it on The Narrows. Container ships idling in the harbor as backlog builds in the Jersey ports as items can't clear customs on time.

Every so often, as we fight in the trenches of this dumb culture war while also actually trying to save off fascism, I'm reminded of a letter I found in the municipal archives from 1942. An angry "a parent" complaining about evil comic books. Nightmare fuel. Hideous pictures.
What child wouldn't have difficulty going to sleep after looking at these hideous pictures? And what nightmare producers they are! Can't you help us stop this neurotic producing evil? Even if we do not buy them other kids do, and pass them on to ours. - A Parent

🚨Staten Island: Fed up? SHOW UP! 👉 Join your friends and neighbors and DEMAND that Congresswoman Malliotakis explain her vote to make billions in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP so that the rich can get a 4 *trillion* dollar tax cut. Enough is enough.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Damn. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Malliotakis: We try to get to the bottom of where this money is going, $50 million for condoms in Gaza, for example. These are real things! Phillip: We know that there was not $50 million spent for condoms in Gaza. There was $0 spent on condoms in the Middle East. That is a complete lie

I'm all for closing Rikers and reforming the prison system in NYC, but can we keep a special memorial wing that's designed to be exactly the same as it is right now, just for Harvey Weinstein? Doesn't need to be open long. abcnews.go.com/US/harvey-we...

Trump is illegally holding back federal funds Congress already approved – money New Yorkers rely on for housing, education, childcare, and more. NYC gives more to DC than we get back, and now they’re making us pay the price for their chaos. We. Won’t. Back. Down.

Just so you all know, I am really passionate about pedestrian safety. I'm also autistic and only just starting to piece together how a lifetime of fear over the big metal projectiles that go really fast and demand constant vigilance has impacted my understanding designing welcoming urban spaces.

If you ever wanna understand why boomers ruined society and generally can't govern, compromise, or adapt when they are wrong... Just look at the comment section of a dumb click bait post about mathematical order of operations.

I always carry a few squares of paper towel in my bag, for the sole purpose of "mystery subway liquid absorber". Finally got to use it today, cleaning a seat next to me for someone who needed to sit. The looks from everyone in the train, as if I was some fey being descended from another dimension..

Maybe an unpopular opinion but when a Union is strong enough to ensure good pay, protect workers from automation, and influence operations, that's good actually. The problem is how politicians fund and treat orgs with strong unions as little more than campaign assets. Yes I'm talking about the MTA
