My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

A dictator just launched an illegal war without Congress — that’s what he is if we don’t impeach & remove him from office

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

Watching Trump speak and justify why the US is entitled to invade another country and kidnap the president makes me think that when we started talking about the “post-truth” era, we had no idea of how deeply post-truth it’d become.

My take on the MetroCard: Iconic name, iconic logo, flawed product but at least it introduced cross-agency compatibility
My take on OMNY: Crap name, crap logo, promising product that has consistently failed to deliver on its promised functionality while also rolling back cross-agency compatibility

Doing Metrocard Nostalgia is a great example of the city at its most navel-gazing. It was a flimsy piece of shit that didn’t work 30% of the time that you could fully break if you forgot it in your front pocket. Good riddance, I haven’t touched one in almost half a decade.

I spent the last two years shooting with Sony, and I can’t say anything terrible about it.
Undoubtably, it’s the most dependable camera system I’ve ever used. There is some merit to saying their camera feels soulless.
But given how precise and reliable the system is, I can’t say that’s a flaw.
