Every once in a while I’m like “I should get more involved in local politics” and then I read a thread like this.

One of my takes that is not quite well-thought-out enough for Prime Time is that there is a distinct difference between “transplants” and “transplant culture” and that the vitriol directed at the former really happens when the latter ramps up.

Not only that, but if he were to actually skip it, that would immediately be used to attack him as well. This is bullshit all the way down and nobody should be giving it the time of day

Creators of “The Magic School Bus” book series are deceased. The books’ publisher, Scholastic, has been silent. Producers of a movie version of the ‘Magic School Bus’ now in the works starring Elizabeth Banks have not responded to inquires. Silence enables fascism. Should they speak up?

Patriot Takes post on X: A real post from the White House turns The Magic School Bus into “The Magic Deportation Bus.” MAGA ruins everything.

NYC released a draft report that says we need 700,000 new homes to address our housing crisis. The plan is ambitious and achievable, but it won't be easy, @mosesnyc.bsky.social told @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/nyregion…

I can't stress enough to all you young'uns how the "real NYer" discourse of the early 00s will never be matched. Anyone here pre-Giuliani got to claim "bad old days" and by the early 00s there was finally a critical enough mass of people who weren't that they could be scorned at as a group.

In addition to making affordable housing in NYC, we're also keeping an eye on staffing at HPD — because we need a robust admin to deliver on its housing agenda. "Everything clicks when you are not 20% down on your headcount," @mosesnyc.bsky.social told Crains
