The absolutely funniest thing about the NYC second home tax is watching wealthy people complain about the process of proving their residence is their primary residence. Welcome to means testing! Something that you enjoy putting in place for everything related to poor people! It sucks!

The ICE raids didn’t lead to wider anti-immigrant violence in the US because American right wingers don’t participate in politics, they watch it on TV. Their main belief is “I should not have to do shit,” their reaction to Minneapolis was “I wouldn’t go outside to do politics unless you paid me”

Watching all these SEC schools argue over who is the least racist is like hearing a bunch of excited puppies argue about which one of their tails is wagging the least. There may be degrees to the amount, but at the end of the day they're all doing it.

Roth is always well worth reading, but this is one of the Roth essays where you think to yourself, yeah, people trying to understand this era are gonna be reading this 40 years from now

Before they put on plate carriers and masks and threw themselves into the dirty business of terrorizing their neighbors and breaking their families, they were still identifiable as who and what they are and always were—seething, unappeasable, deliriously and defiantly pig-stupid, and absolutely a threat to the peace and comfort and flourishing of everyone and anything else. The masks only make them easier to see.

Writing a movie in the 80s/90s was so easy. It was just MadLibs. (Character) from (rich upper middle class city suburb) experiences (life challenge). Hijinks ensue. They meet (character of opposite sex) who helps them. They become a better person and fall in love with (character of opposite sex).

This is legitimately wild. Feel like I haven’t heard as much about gambling from those I talk to compared to even a few years ago, and fascinating to see data to back up that anecdotal evidence.

The best genre of sports press release is upper management saying "We failed, and I take full responsibility for that" but then that person is still employed and it turns out they're announcing firing someone else. It's just a beautiful encapsulation of where the Twins are at as an organization.

Eric Adams is just speed running scandal types. I mean, my god, money in a potato chip bag? That means he’s already to “college football recruiting” in the scandal style playbook. The man is an unstoppable force of nature at this point.

Screen shot of a New York Times headline which says “Adams Adviser suspended from campaign after giving cash to reporter”. The sub headline says “a campaign volunteer for Mayer. Eric Adams of New York was suspended after giving a journalist cash in a potato chip bag.” There is a candid photo of the campaign volunteer below the headline.

Yeah, but also she is not good at this. She lost. Badly. Her high water point in polling was when Biden dropped out and she represented desperately wanted change. Then she said “I’m not changing anything,” tracked right, and tanked. Fuck the NR, their reasoning is bad, but broken clocks, etc.

I’d say that this is a very revealing comment except what is revealed is very obvious: generative AI is an interesting technology with what will probably prove to be a few useful applications, and it’s being inflated into a trillion dollars year industry because tech has no other good ideas.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Really good read. At the end of the day there are too many clowns (esp in the Twin Cities right now) claiming they're closing due to the bad, bad city as a means of deflecting any ownership of the fact that maybe the city just didn't need/want that particular place (or they're bad at business!)

Many people at work refer to me as "that guy who really despises Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey", and as I transition to a new platform, it's important to me that people on Bluesky also know what an absolutely clown Jacob Frey is. Dying at this visual. Wish I could've seen it in person.
