I love goalie fights. Imagine having beef with someone 200 ft away. It’s truly inspiring.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

At a certain point, and it might be soon, we will all have to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. At least for a little while. An assistant coach will knock on your door and you’ll just have to get in the van.

Every time I get groceries I am admittedly amazed. The prices just keep climbing especially on the most random shit.
Like bell peppers. What the fuck man. Those shouldn’t be at the price they are now. What the actual hell?

Reminder: if you’re in a club and the music is bumping and the bartender has ear plugs in.. trying to start a convo when they openly tell you over and over again that they can hardly understand what you are saying…
Maybe you should stop and visit another time when it’s not a club night.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

No child should go hungry simply because their parents are immigrants. As mayor, I’ll join @newyorkstateag.bsky.social in using every lever of government for the families who fear if they can afford tomorrow’s meals.

JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
