I was ready to apologize for being snippy and accept a much more sympathetic/complex reason for the sad state of the buses but no, this is so much worse than I expected, and yet somehow not all that surprising. The value of local journalism is on display here.

Gonna start a gofundme claiming I was one of those firefighters and have since fallen on hard times (because of woke, natch), take a lot of good money from a lot of bad people, maybe end up as a cabinet secretary for a bit. Mr. President good to see you again, I recall your bravery on that day etc

ok there is one upside to everyone using copilot to write all their work documents and it’s that suddenly, overnight, they’ve all started using the word “comprise” correctly. but as far as i can tell that’s the extent of the upside.

They’re going to re-run the Bush v. Gore playbook at the national level, and with three Brooks Brothers Riot alumni on the bench, we know what the outcome will be. This is our last chance.

This is a really fun little colorization/foley/upscale of 1911 film showing people for whom electric light and mechanized vehicles and manned flight and the Great War were all recent or intermittent or yet unknown. It shows the majesty of NYC, and the pollution, and the quotidiana, and all the hats!

This is, I am pretty sure, the best video of old New York City that I’ve come across. At eight and a half minutes, it is among the longest, with crisp photography and a wide range of location…

The more you beat me, I will fawn on you: Use me but as your spaniel, spurn me, strike me, Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave, Unworthy as I am, to follow you. What worser place can I beg in your love, And yet a place of high respect with me,-- Than to be used as you use your dog?
