Mine was pretty boring. Though I did a double-take because I misread “reads diverse literature” (ok, I guess) as ”reads dense literature” (guilty).

It happened again! Governor Hochul's office did something so good and/or funny that I stopped resenting her for about 15 minutes.

it is screenshot of Gov Hochul quote tweeting Dave Portnoey saying "I love Philly. If I’m choosing between living in Philly or NYC I’m choosing Philly every time #DDTG" and she has added "And we're all thankful for that"

Reflecting on the fact that two universities I know well — USC, where I was a professor for 25 years, and Cornell, my alma mater — were both brought low not by the yahoos in Washington, but by men who regarded as their masculine right the ability to sexually assault women without their consent.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I like how other Rs explain that it’s not a bribe, he’s talking about a legitimate policy proposal he hopes to enact with R support, and then Trump comes out and says It’s a bribe, I’m bribing you to vote for Republicans.

Trump started a war that Biden intentionally did not start, and in fact told Bibi to fuck off about. And this fact has broken the brains of the weakest minded on this app. Because it definitively proves Biden was the better choice than Trump, and they fucked up and caused way, way more harm.

The thing about NYT interviewees comparing Rahm to uninspired sex or Windows 95 is that neither of those are fatal and he is not just any out of touch Boomer but actively poisonous. If you want to compare him to other things from the 90s, maybe cigarette smoking in restaurants

Since 2000, the far-right maniacs at the Manhattan Institute have longed to strip Lincoln Center down to its steel frame—and reclad it in Neoclassical drag. archive.ph/vYCOj Ballroom architect James C. McCrery did this proposal—and I suspect he & Trump have this in mind for the Kennedy Center.
