One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Does Pluribus pass the Bechdel Test? You’ve got two women talking in many scenes, but one of the women is also every man.

One thing about losing a cat is that you keep finding cat fur everywhere, and what was once a nuisance is now a sad remembrance.

My cat named George Lucas died on Tuesday. Like the human, he was small, furry, and did stuff to make you mad sometimes but was generally loved.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

Watching the Simpsons now, having watched it since it started, is kinda like watching a Beatles tribute band — the look is there, maybe some of the sound, but it just doesn’t measure up to 30 years ago.

You know one thing that is unnerving about Chicago right now is the sound of helicopters. It’s not just that you hear them daily now it’s that you think about what horrible things might be happening while they are above.

Wow this is rough. Gov Kathy Hochul is speaking the Zohran rally. She's listing examples of Trump admin overreach in NY and the crowd is heckling her loudly, chanting, "do something, you're the governor." Taking forever for her to get through her speech.

I’m doubting Trump got an MRI. You have to sit still and not talk for at least 15 minutes and I don’t think he’s capable of that level of self-control.

ICE is in Wrigleyville today and I have to wonder if they were just waiting for the Cubs to end their season before starting this shit.

I would not be surprised if the demolition teams taking out the East Wing just keep going right on through the rest of the White House.

Cubs win at Wrigley. So, tell me- do cities typically have playoff games when they are under such “disorder” that they need the National Guard to come in and “stabilize” things? Seems like they would not.
