A reader told me she was asked to take off her Hellebore “Wind in the Willows” jumper before entering Westminster Abbey. The reason given was that it depicts the devil and might offend people. The reader explained it was the Greek god Pan, but the security guard didn’t backtrack. Satanic panic 2025.

I just had a hell scape vision of a dentist office robo call to confirm an appointment.
And the robo voice tells you you must confirm the appointment or else it will be cancelled
And then it plays 30 seconds ads before you can press 1 to confirm the appointment.

An NYPD judge recommended dismissing the disciplinary case of an officer who killed a man in 2016, b/c the prosecuting agency lacks jurisdiction over off duty acts. But the cop’s attorneys got him indemnified in a civil suit by arguing the shooting was police conduct

Post Mortems like this oversimplify. There was no progressive option or serious right wing threat in the 2021 general. The lesson here is progressivism can drive youth turn out in a general in a tight swing district. Possibly a completely countervailing theory to the swing dist. centrism orthodox.

This joke might be slightly humorous if Gracie Mansion didn't already have its Georgian style ballroom addition from the 1960s that mayors Wagner and Lindsay stitched, Frankenstein like, onto the original turn-of-the-19th century Federalist style architecture.

This is how the admin broke the Dems. Limiting private jets. Don't get it twisted.
The Federal Aviation Administration will limit business jets and other private flights to some of the country’s largest airports to ease strains on air-traffic personnel.
FAA Limits Private Aircraft Flights at Major Airports
The restrictions will affect private jet flights at a dozen airports, including Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, and Chicago’s O’Hare, according to the National Business Aviation Association trade group.

For people obsessed with polls, these guys sure do love things that the majority of people who vote don't want.
Sorry, but a lack of support for autonomous vehicles is not among Sec Pete's biggest missed opportunities at USDOT.
For instance:
🔹 Failure to stop Tesla from lying about Autopilot, FSD, etc
🔹 Failure to curb car bloat
🔹 Continuing to spend fed $$ on highway expansions that won't fix congestion
