I am somebody! This is one of Jesse Jackson's greatest gifts to me.
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Throw them extra dipping sauces and ketchup packets in that drawer out. You are never going to use them.

I'm torn between wanting AOC to run for president and the sure knowledge that the reaction of US political & social elites to that campaign would crush any remaining respect I had for anyone in this country & finally push me to that remote retirement compound I've been dreaming about.

Zohran genuinely loves the people of his city and wants the best for them. It’s astonishing how much we’ve all been starved of that by our leaders.
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

I have drunk
The prosecco
That I received
A split of at Christmas
And was saving for a special occasion
Forgive me
It was my birthday
And I got tired
Of waiting for him to die

I started rewatching The Thick of It and "He's as useless as a marzipan dildo" is such a banger of an insult.
If you've never seen it, it's Peter Capaldi at his absolute dickiest. That's a word I just made up

David Roberts really hit the nail perfectly on the head here in this thread about the authoritarian personality.
One more quick thread, and then I'm getting out of here to walk my dog in the sun.
I think a lot about the authoritarian personality. I won't start going on about that because this thread would last forever, but I just want to say one thing about it.

“Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety. Just look at Boston; Chapel Hill, N.C.; Richmond, Va.; Kansas City, Mo.; and even New York itself, all of which have tried it to excellent effect.”
