Sometimes I think about where we would be as a culture today if #MeToo in 2017 had radicalized more straight men into fighting sexual abuse instead of creating a culture of "oh god don't get me CANCELED" and "fake accusations" paranoia and resentment

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

I still think of the first time after I started taking meds that I went to the store and just remembered all 3 things I needed without looking at my list. Is this how other people live???????

There have been a lot of jokey jokey about this but it is actually not funny. EA and AI bros are scummy and trying to destroy the world and coercing people into sex is very much a core part of their ethos.

It is incredibly difficult to text with my father because (as you can see if you read my threads on here) I text like I'm using AIM in the 90s If I send him more than one text in a row, he only ever reads the most recent one, so I have to let the first text I send stand, however incomplete it is

I was listening to the Phillies game with half an ear on Thursday when I suddenly heard Tom McCarthy ask his co-announcer (not Kruk that day) something like "What's the biggest thing an older player ever bought you or paid for when you were a rookie?"

This is incredible and can truly help preserve an art form in the city by turning more people onto it. Opera is historically popular entertainment and needs to return to that. Also opening up culture to all is entirely why some people hate Mamdani (fuck them)

The very cool thing about this is that there are some kinds of brain cells we weren't able to grow before because we didn't understand they were different, and now that we've figured out that they are different, we can grow them.

T-Rex: Sherlock Holmes, who was the world's greatest detective but complete rubbish at baking, sighed.

T-Rex: His latest cake was, once again, complete rubbish!

T-Rex: He was BEYOND frustrated. He'd TRIED using his detective skills to deduce why his cakes sucked so bad, but even so, they only ever told him why THIS cake sucked (he accidentally used a cup of baking soda instead of a teaspoon) and not why the NEXT cake would suck.
Dromiceiomimus: They always sucked for a completely new reason?
T-Rex: They ALWAYS sucked for a completely NEW reason!!

Utahraptor: Surely at some point he'd run out of new ways to ruin cakes?
T-Rex: You'd think!

T-Rex: "But sadly there are SO MANY WAYS to ruin a cake," Sherlock sighed, as he put his batter into the oven on the top rack instead of the centre one, which would, 40 minutes later, burn the cake's top while leaving the bottom underdone.
Utahraptor: Sherlock, no!!
T-Rex: He can't hear you! He's fictional!!

T-Rex: And he's having the WORST DAY of his FICTIONAL LIFE - and to make matters EVEN WORSE, the WHOLE WORLD is going to hear about it, because I'm writing it down and publishing it all!!
Off panel: Nooooooo
