An extraordinary amount of what these people say represents either outright lying or laughable incompetence.
Pirro said the pipe bombing suspect had "not a lot of social media". She should call me, because I have now found his: Twitter, Tumblr, Soundcloud, YouTube channel, songs he made on YouTube, Steam, and about five fanfic and gaming forum accounts.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Yes but the “Dear Leader thank you for beating up the hurricanes most glorious god king” quisling-off competitions is what keeps him awake at all.
if i worked in a White House with an elderly and ailing president who had a hard time staying awake, i would simply recommend against having 3 hour cabinet meetings that are boring af and pointless and best remembered for the fact said president is sleeping on camera

Adams with another kick in the teeth to city on the way out. How do you not even talk to a local vendor when shopping a service? Cannot make sense of such a self defeating process for the city.
Today was the hardest day of my life. We fought for nearly a decade to bring secure bike parking to NYC and ultimately were completely excluded from the @nyc-dot.bsky.social process for citywide system. To those who believed in us and our vision, I am so sorry.

# of days without @nytimes.com clowning itself to normalize authoritarianism is again 0️⃣ but this a particularly embarrassing and thoroughly indefensible one. Cancel this garbage paper.
This ridiculous sentence is written like a bothsides-ish balancing statement, but it isn’t one. When the mob is in charge, paying the protection money they extort from you is a cost of doing business. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

“As stated in the agreement, the payment is not an admission of guilt, but simply a condition of the agreement.”

Alt versions:

“The building we burned down is not an admission of arson, just a condition of the fire we set.”

“We aren’t guilty or anything, we just love bribes for no reason.”

The modern business plan is to simply tie up so much money that when your subprime mortgage schemes or fancy chatbots go bust the government has to step in to bail you out.

So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?

Does he still think that?

These people are bizarre. “I’m so furious that I was reminded of my child in the backseat! Day ruined! I wonder, where has the America I love gone? Even the air is too clean! This is a nightmare!”
Trump’s America sucks in every possible way. This is just today.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I think putting the embittered lawyer who has represented Epstein, OJ, Weinstein and the deeply unpopular current president on your multi billion network is a wonderful idea. He should be on every night ranting and raving about pierogis and pedo plea deals.

Major part of my transit wishlist: I'd love to see NYC embrace a regional map of 🚇 and 🚊 services.

NYC is part of a regional economy and community-- it would be a major win if commuters could visualize PATH, HBLR and Newark City subway alongside the NYC subway system.

Good god Baldwin is such a vulnerable and sharp writer. Just a profoundly brilliant and beautiful mind.
This bit from Baldwin's essay The Price of the Ticket is deeply moving to me, but in particular the third paragraph.

Oh no I burned my mortgage and fled nyc on maga orders. I can’t believe Trump went back on something. This is so confusing.

Most countries do horrible things in their own national interest. The US manages to do horrible things in the process of sabotaging its own national interests
And I think that's just where we are now as a country, that we were presented with an option to do the right thing both for ourselves and others and we still managed to fuck it up.

The context of this is that a couple days ago MS had to pull a video of a user using Copilot to find out how to change a system font setting (why would this require ai?) and failing.

So much of ai is the proponents demanding that you be impressed then being annoyed if you aren’t.

Tim Cook, the head of Apple, is having a nice dinner with MBS, who regularly orders executions, including for tweets.

Apple hosts "a Saudi app that allows men to track the movement of their wives and daughters. In 2019, Mr. Cook said he would investigate the app, but it is still available today."
