Instead of cancelling the Brooklyn Book Festival marketplace because of rain, it should have been held inside a perception box.

The one place “one more lane” might actually work is Hot Wheels City but even this place has narrow medieval streets.

Getting elected doesn’t mean you stop answering to the people who sent you there. Kristi Burke is running for Congress in TN 01 to fight for accountability and remember exactly who she works for. She’s a Courage Candidate, and she’s on the ballot this November.

I suspect one reason Gen Z is drinking less is bartenders forgetting how to efficiently tend bar.

I know I don’t get out much but wow, Gen z is cooked. People not taking off their backpacks on the subway, standing on the left size of escalators, taking their sweet time to the platform when the train is coming into the station. What are we even doing here? Send those kids back kindergarten.

Absolutely have to love the public recreational facilities that are closed on holidays. It's almost as if they are designed to minimize the number of people who have access to museums and libraries.

I love the latest AI scam artist trend: emailing me, the person who has reviewed a book, as though I am the author of the book, trying to convince me to pay to promote the book.

Repetition is Good. Repetition is how you make your point. Repetition is how you reach the vast majority of the population that doesn't follow politics closely. Impeach Now. Impeach Often. Impeach Relentlessly.
