Hope Trump wins the Nobel Fuckface Prize

You don't wanna do the Train/Traffic Math on that one. On a random October Thursday there might as many Philly fans within an hour of MetLife as there are Giants fans

I know this isn’t the point but is it normal for DHS officials to stay at a Ritz-Carlton on work trips?

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

“Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him..”

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

I feel like that's how the Paddy's Bar crew would lose a baseball game to the McPoyle Brothers

"Ingrassia" another Trump admin name too good for an actual writer's room to come up with

i feel like everything bari weiss does is treated like she's a network exec in 1973 when she's really just a LARPer at the helm of a particularly irrelevant brand while TV news is dying.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Seems like the only dots are "we don't like the nasty woman" - people gotta do better than that

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

I'm thrilled to join @cmrestler.bsky.social in introducing a new bill to make Open Dining year-round! Our current restrictions make it too hard for many of our local restaurants to participate. This bill would make our neighborhoods more vibrant—let's get it done!

“Conservatives disapprove of the pope” is a real story you decided to run?

Skip to the end to see that private equity was involved here. Not hard to see that they saw an opportunity to run away with both the settlement cash and the buyout money

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Sharing requires consideration, and you can’t idiot-proof a shared path

I am fine with a lot of the ideas here but I don’t think there’s a problem with Central Park. I think there’s a problem with how people are bad idiots in traffic everywhere, and only some of that is fixable with refreshing the designs or road infrastructure

I am quoted in this article.

"A cycle track around the park would get a ton of use and it’s going to take pressure off of Central Park," said Chris Sanders. "That would solve like 99 percent of whatever the perceived problem is for Central Park itself."

It's time to ring the park with green paint — and add green veins through it.

This is great. And making the bike lanes around the park wide and two-way would really help get some transportation cyclists out of the park. It's also just the right thing to do.

fresh off of getting the houston pride crosswalk removed, Libs of TikTok is also celebrating getting a free pride event in New Braunfels removed from the Comal County Fair & Rodeo: x.com/libsoftiktok...
COMAL COUNTY FAIR
& RODEO
Press Release: Tuesday October 7, 2025
Following discussions with the organizers of the New Braunfels Riverside Pride Festival, and after expressing concerns related to age appropriateness, safety, and the well-being of all involved, the event organizers have decided to relocate their event to an alternate venue.
The Fair Association is a nonpartisan organization. Facility rentals are open to the community based on availability, and the Association does not sponsor or endorse outside events. We recognize the importance of ensuring that all activities held on our grounds reflect the highest standards of public safety and a positive community experience. Moving forward, we will be revising our rental contracts to align more closely with the mission of the organization while maintaining a nonpartisan approach.
We appreciate the constructive feedback and concerns shared by members of our community, as well as Riverside Pride's professionalism in their decision. We remain committed to providing a facility where our community can hold events in a safe, and respectful manner for all residents of Comal County.
Thank You,
Comal County Fair Executive Board
