Spock should have gotten more of these traditional Vulcan outfits tbh. Put Quinto in this look not some boring-ass button up!

never thought I could see federal law enforcement so depraved that it would negatively polarize local cops to the left, but nothing is impossible for ole Donny Trump
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Just a small sample of the cargo bikes and other kid-carrying bikes at Brooklyn Bridge Park yesterday. Things are changing fast. Cities need to catch up.

I know we spent a couple of days nitpicking Mamdani's free buses plan but the big picture takeaway here is that it's awesome to have our likely next mayor centering and prioritizing bus riders like this. This is true Overton window shifting rhetoric and it's so great to see.
The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

In the absence of walkable cities and robust public transit that will give them independence and mobility without relying on cars, having teenagers ride around in robot cars is VASTLY preferable to putting them behind the wheel.

The Teens Are Taking Waymos Now

ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt tells Jake Tapper he regrets defending Musk’s Nazi-style salute in Jan.:

“It’s not so much what he intended. It's the impact that it had. It's the way that white nationalists rejoiced at seeing him do this... I wish we'd called it out more clearly when it happened.”

This administration is like a second pandemic. The biggest issue is all the avoidable deaths, but life is also marginally worse in a million little ways, and the foregone output (economic, academic, etc) will loom over us for decades to come

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

It’s striking how effectively republicans tied mainstream dems with random internet communists, despite the two groups hating each other, while the vice president and shadow president are clearly in a million group chats with literal nazis and people hardly notice
you can basically churn out a piece like this a day if you dive into who musk and vance interact with on twitter but for some reason no legacy media outlet is doing that
EXCLUSIVE: A Hitler-quoting ‘Aryan’ has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7?

My latest with @kylebazgo.bsky.social for @dailydot.com identifies the likely operator of the anonymous racist account as Geoffrey Martin, a Canadian.
