Waiting in lines sucks and some cities absolutely have a problem with treating being on line as a *thing to do* (Austin)! But businesses in a city with millions of people having wait times isn’t a crisis or sign of tourists and transplants ruining things.

A classic inability to distinguish between the valid stance of “don’t wait in line for pizza” and “popular restaurants have a wait time during breakfast/lunch/dinner hours” that the suburban mind cannot comprehend

It’s kind of incredible how badly every conservative in the city is filling their diaper with rage about Zohran over anything and everything. People struggling to get into a trendy restaurant? In New York? Must be communism!

It’s kinda wild how modern ultra wealthy people missed the memo that if you build trains and libraries and museums and fund the arts people are generally less likely to want you dead?

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 3d

It’s bonkers. Like say what you will about Andrew Carnegie but after getting wealthy beyond compare he built libraries. Thiel and Musk and Ellison have been like “what if we restored the third reich? what if I became Big Brother? what if we ushered in an age of superstition, wouldn’t that be neat”

I want 10,000 words longform on how these drug-addled creeps have all openly embraced literal villainy. Like, the most clownish form of "I want to look evil." This feels different than a lot of their historical predecessors!

Just thinking about how Daniel Jones recently talked about he went from thinking he was going above and beyond doing game prep with the Giants/Daboll to showing up in Minnesota and realizing how much the Giants weren’t doing.

Dart comes out of the medical tent after suffering a potential brain injury and Brian Daboll immediately smacks him in the back of the head

What possible reason could Daboll have for calling a time out when the Eagles are about to get a delay of game

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

Loser mindset. If you’re not booing the best player on the opposing team what’s even the point of being a fan?

Evergreen reminder that people aren’t putting drugs in Halloween candy.

Not only is this not a thing, it’s a distraction from the real issue - vehicles. Cars hitting kiddos. That spikes every Halloween night. Watch your babies, talk about safety, and go with them to keep them out of the street.
