This can put to bed Ezra Koenig's musings in "White Sky"... Why are the horses racing taxis in the winter?

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin have reached a deal to abolish NYC's horse carriage industry — a critical breakthrough in a decadeslong, politically fraught effort to ban the tourist attraction. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Such a comical lie

A post that’s so eye-opening because this is exactly what liberals will say is GOP distraction tactics, almost as a parody— and here it really is what Gaetz is saying unironically as his GOP message.

Mamdani is me when my co-teacher is yelling at my 11th graders and they’re making faces at me

Slowdive's Souvlaki is an example of a perfect album. It's cathartic in a way that never gets old

Are people being purposefully obtuse now? You don’t have to like ai, and if you’re a writer or artist, I can see why you’re against it. But every single person I know who works a 9-5 corporate job is using ai in some way. It’s the new reality.

huh the only fast casual restaurant that's thriving hates AI wonder if that means anything

This is one of those things that works better in a book than on screen. Similar to how some things wouldn’t have worked in Kubrick’s The Shining that worked in King’s novel

also, I'm sorry, but the "no man" thing with the cyclops is dumb and I hate it, and he was right not to include it

I made a Facebook because I’m getting a new apartment and wanted to use marketplace. Before I even started adding friends, I’m already seeing click-baity, new york post anti-Mamdani content. An absolute cesspool

Oh No the centuries old oral tale got told a little bit differently?

‘Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺 into iambic pentameter. In one interview, he cited my version of it: “Tell me about a complicated man.” But I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.’ New, by Emily Wilson www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

The worst part about getting older is you start experimenting with stuff like getting up earlier and working out consistently first thing in the morning and not drinking every day and you realize that this does make you feel better than not.

Who is winning from this? Are we safer? No. Is the job market better? No. ICE is evil. Fuck them all

NEW: A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.

never really considered this fully, but so true: “American soccer has indisputably grown and improved, but the part that is too easily forgotten is that everyone else got better, too…”

This is why I’m for Belgium lol

local21news.comYork Revolution forfeit game after some players refuse to wear 'Pride Night' jerseyThe York Revolution has forfeited its game Thursday night against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs after an internal controversy surrounding "Pride Night" and the pride jersey, according to the team. In a statement, the club announced that, out of respect for the Pride community and the York community as a whole, the June 18 game will be forfeited, but Pride Night festivities will continue as the feature element at WellSpan Park. The decision comes on the heels of several of the team's players refusing to wear the Pride Night jersey. As a result, the club decided the team should not be forced to wear jerseys they aren't comfortable with. However, in the announcement, the club reiterated its belief that hosting the event is more important than playing the game. "We feel that this is the best way to stay consistent with our long-standing partnerships with the Rainbow Rose Center, JLS Automation and the long list of allies that have always been key partners of the York Revolution’s success in York, Pennsylvania," the club wrote in its announcement. As an act of support for the LGBTQIA+ community, the team announced it is making a $10,000 donation to the Rainbow Rose Center to further their work on inclusivity. To be clear; this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York. Tickets for the game are being treated as a rainout and can be redeemed for any future game, the club confirmed.
