"Pottersville? This used to be Bedford Falls!"
going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

you can’t be the prodemocracy party and then fib to prevent the public from knowing what position your members of Congress actually took in order to shield them from accountability to voters.
Doesn’t matter that Schumer voted “no”. He got the Dem caucus on board with caving. THEN the caucus figured out who should vote yes to provide cover for D Sens up for reelection in 2026, who might have been in serious danger of being primaried. 2/

This is just not true. The Trump administration has been cancelling nearly-done solar and wind projects approved by local regulators, constricting the supply of electricity
Pressed by Stephanopoulos on the fact that electricity prices have in fact gone up, Bessent punts: "Electricity prices are a state problem ... look, there are things the federal government can control. Local electricity prices are not one of them."

Watched "A House of Dynamite" last night, I thought it was riveting, great movie.

And IMO people complaining about the ending can go back to watching Marvel movies.

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.
The pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime has already decided that Zohran Mamdani has sold out the pro-Palestine cause... by condemning swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn. forward.com/culture/7822...
Mamdani's first statement on antisemitism as mayor-elect got some weird pushback
After someone spraypainted a swastika on a yeshiva, Zohran Mamdani condemned antisemitism. Somehow, this generated conspiracy theories.

If the customer is within three feet, compliment their scent.

If the customer is within one foot, smell their breath and guess what their most recent meal was as a conversation starter.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

really illustrates just how stupid and unnecessary this whole shutdown is that we're almost 40 days in and Dems repeating what they've been asking for the entire time has people howling for blood because it's so unbelievably little that it must be them caving and surrendering

the deaths Musk has caused have had no bearing on his personal standing. It is ghastly to contemplate that no one in the press interrupts his latest announcement about some new waifu robot to ask “what about the children you took food and medicine away from?”
I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

As with Bernhard Goetz in the mid-1980s, juries are sympathetic towards Subway vigilantes.
🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

Chuck Schumer's inability to say whether he voted for the Democratic nominee in a general election in his city is the final straw for @ryanlcooper.com.

The Senate leader doesn’t just betray his own party, he’s also terrible at leading it. In Trump’s second term, facing a full-on authoritarian attack on America’s democracy and constitutional structure...
