Movie review. Keanu Reeves and Aziz Ansari's Good Fortune is a hilarious, heaven-sent comedy about cosmic blunders revealing earthly inequities.

“City and state, please.”

“Are you a human being?” I asked.

“Yes, I am.”

“Me, too!”

Thanks, @ajjacobs.bsky.social, I needed that today 😂

I contend that if it’s ok to cry in public in New York City then it’s ok to stress eat mozzarella sticks in public in New York City

"Despite owning a car, and not being a regular bike commuter to work, @bradlander.bsky.social was comfortable enough on the ride to be able to talk and gesture and weave through mixed traffic." 😂 So silly but I also appreciate @davecolon.bsky.social checking that candidates can like walk & chew gum

All this "age of Social Security recipients" stuff is b/c DOGE dudes miscalculated in their analysis.

New Social Security chief refutes claims of deceased people over 100 years old getting checks
Elon Musk had claimed that DOGE found evidence of 150-year-olds receiving Social Security benefits.

“Overshadow”? Hmm. I feel like there were some more action-oriented options… tho I admit the CAPS has punch with some demos… Diminish. Undercut. Outperform. Rise Above, even. I need those “nevertheless she persisted” vibes back in my life.

I am finally a proud Hell Gate subscriber. For the record, @nickpinto.bsky.social pushed me over the edge with "..."Freedom is ethical," he mused, sounding like a towering political philosopher and not at all like a sociopathic vampire who feeds off warehouse-sized batteries of human labor..."
Jeff Bezos is directing the Washington Post to focus its opinion section on celebrating the "underserved" ideology of laissez-faire capitalism. Here at Hell Gate, we get it. We're redirecting our editorial focus too.

I adore Dope Labs but fell way behind and only just listened to Lab 075 from August 2022… and it’s as relevant as ever. (I especially needed to hear the conclusion, starting around 26:00)
