The Hold Steady starting their shows this weekend at 8:30 with no opener is a sign of a quickly aging fan base. Gonna have to rename it Larger Nights Where You Have Three Beers But Are In Bed At A Normal Time.

RESULT: James Solomon will be the next mayor of Jersey City.
Solomon, running on a more progressive lane with WFP support, has easily defeated the establishment candidate Jim McGreevey, the former governor who resigned in scandal two decades ago.

1/2 Tomorrow is the last day of my senior seminar "Digital Life & the Search for Meaning." We've invested a lot of time thinking/reading about humanity in an AI world. I always send them off with a closing note from an author; this semester is from @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's book "We Had It Coming."

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I put more thought into my excuse for missing a 7:30am Chem 101 lab than Secretary War Fighter put into justifying the extrajudicial murder he ordered
Hegseth: "I watched that first strike live. As you can image at the Dept of War, we've got a lot of things to do. So I didn't stick around for the hour to 2 hours, whatever, where all the sensitive sight exploitation digitally occurs. I moved on to my next meeting. A couple hours later I learned..."

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

I’m in Vegas and shocked that I was just told “we don’t have the streaming services” at a Sportsbook when asking about the Bournemouth/Sunderland match.

A four-hour epic on Sherman's March To The Sea
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.
