My kid decided she didn't get enough homework today so she made up more homework for herself to do.

This is so refreshing after so many Car Mayors.
There we go - imagine the Mayor of the city showing up to celebrate the success of traffic reduction & transit funding in NYC!

This is how I found out that Parker Molloy deactivated. Great job by everyone involved.
Two generally very well liked trans women have been chased off this site in the last couple days for entirely different reasons. This sucks a ton!
Incredibly disappointing how frequently I see trans women chased off the internet for literally nothing and makes me wonder why in god's name I'm voluntarily putting myself at risk

Lots of options but I loved classic Top Gear so much.
What's your favourite thing that's been made by an absolute cunt?

Yep. Just forcefully condemn and promise consequences.
And also to jut be less stupid about how they do their business. Stop handing it to Trump, stop saying stuff like it’s good Maduro is gone and stop pretending bipartisanship is a real thing.

All we want immediately is for the people who even in the minority have a lot more power than we do to be as angry as we are.
A lot of people are mad at Schumer for saying this. But he's right. Democrats don't control a single branch of government and they can't pass anything. Only Republicans can rein in Trump because they control both chambers of Congress. Democrats have no cards to play here.
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

There are people who have somehow managed to make this post about, you guessed it, the 2016 Democratic primary
Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

My review of one year of congestion pricing is that there's still too many cars downtown and we should double the price.

It's great how "it's morally wrong and illegal to kidnap a foreign head of state" doesn't even cross this person's mind.
This is just sickening. Back when people were saying "Primary every Democrat," we should have stuck with that

Average post in the GBS "post your picture" thread

(looks directly into camera) What a time to be alive
UPDATE: Another judge joined the list this morning -- New Hampshire's Paul Barbadoro, a George H. W. Bush appointee, ruled against the administration's detention policy, bringing to 309 the number of judges who have rejected it, compared to 14 who have sided w ICE. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Wife reports that our kid asked to go to school early today... What a nerd
Congratulations to everyone who survived two weeks of school vacation where their kids were home the whole time.

Parenting helps here because you're too dang busy to doom scroll most of the day

Today my kid spotted Beach 67th St on the A train display and it was a major topic of discussion for the rest of the day
*Extremely doesn’t have a kid voice* I think 6-7 is fun. It’s enjoyable to do the big balls hand motion.

WHY DO WE HAVE AN ACTIVE JUDGE IN HIS 90S???
hellerstein got the case. he's in his 90s and a clinton appointee. i haven't been in the SDNY in ages but i suspect it's not the worst draw if you're maduro. that said this is such a clusterfuck i can't imagine any judge not deferring to the government like crazy in a case like this

Every time my subway is bustituted I become convinced double parking should carry the death penalty.

It's not photogenic but the Times' Guinness beef stew recipe is delicious as long as you have a whole afternoon to make it. My kid asked for seconds.

5 year old just dropped her first "you're not the boss of me" so we're doing great

Kinda weird that "Let's not bomb people" is still considered a fringe position
