Huh. Apparently, people slipping on banana peels was not just a cartoon gag, it was a thing that happened in gross city streets when bananas first became widely available: ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.com/2026/10/05/w...

When Gilded Age New York City went to war against banana peels

River pirates, sneak thieves, pickpockets, confidence men—New York City in 1896 was grappling with rising rates of relatively new crimes that threatened the safety of Gilded Age Gotham. But tthe ci…

A simple fact. News itself is now heavily partisan-ideologically coded. The Trump right and much of the partisan right doesn’t consume news as traditionally understood. So most efforts like this and to a lesser extent the Post, to find these more ideologically balanced audiences can’t …

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

Think about how money is discussed in "Pride and Prejudice". Darcy isn't rich because he created a company, but because of inherited wealth - indeed the fundamental assumption is that *all* wealth is inherited.

A New Color (1/5🧵)

Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.”

Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.

Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.”

Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

I left the Church years ago. I can’t go back. I do not demand that the Church change for me. But when the Holy Father says stuff like this I feel so connected to the depths of my faith, to the part of the Church that I did not and cannot leave, and I am so happy to feel that way

The vitriol being directed at Lupita Nyong’o and Christopher Nolan is about a refusal to view Helen of Troy as anything other than an avatar for the right’s own psychosexual fixation on whiteness as goodness. Homer has nothing to do with it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Helen of Troy Has Always Been a Product of Her Time -- No Matter What Racists Think

Conservatives are bashing Christopher Nolan for casting Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy in The Odyssey. It's not about fealty to Homer.

He is sporting a thin tie, narrow lapel suit, but his normally coiffed hair is disheveled, and he is clearly three sheets to the wind.
