Yes, well, all reasonable people agree that ICE should be sent to Rikers.

Oh, I see, you don’t mean like that?
Homan: "I plan on being in New York City in the near future. We're gonna do operations in New York City. Me and Mayor Adams at one point had an agreement to let ICE in to Rikers ... we are increasing the enforcement presence in New York City."

That. Is. Not. Tiramisu.
Tiramisù doesn’t require baking, feeds a crowd and actually needs to be prepared in advance, making it a great contender for a Thanksgiving dessert. Cranberry, pumpkin and apple give this creamy no-bake classic a fall makeover with festive flavors.

The whole thing about billionaires leaving town if they’re taxed a bit more to pay for free buses, is that why would anyone want to leave a place so good that it has free buses?

Everyone acts like Neom wasn’t a massive grift by all concerned right from the start. Every company I know that makes PowerPoint decks for a living was arsedeep in that bullshit. Absolutely shameful.
NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.
Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.
Reporter: Today is election day in New York City. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: Look, I voted. And I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City.

Wait, so anyone moving to Texas has to bring a second person? Their airfare is double? What the tits is the man dribbling on about?

“Three hops from a drug trafficker” is basically every adult in the US. Your acquaintance’s dealer’s supplier means you can be exploded on sight.
This three-hops theory is especially insane. Even if you assume each person is connected to only 100 other people, there are 1m people within three hops of every suspected drug trafficker—and remember that even *known* drug traffickers aren’t legitimate targets. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...
