This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

I used to love this place as it has a really interesting outdoor seating area great coffee, and interesting vibe but the owner of this place I have watched verbally abuse her employees and it's disgusting. I remember going in one day and watching one of the baristas look like she was noticeably afraid of her employer like she was walking on eggshells and it was very odd and noticeable. I thought this lady might've been stressed out to work there. A few weeks later, I was going by this place as I live nearby and I saw this owner of this coffee shop, screaming at the top of her lungs in the face of this same barista.
Just verbally ripping into her verbally, abusing her something is wrong with that lady. Anytime I'm around that owner of this shop. I get the icky feeling. I've watched her scream at the top of her lungs in the face of someone who was just trying to do their best working for her. Everyone is stressed lady, some of us more than others, you don't take your stuff people.... I felt incredibly bad for that barista who appeared to be a middle-age mom type of person. I will never return to this place even though it was so close by and had an interesting unique vibe, loving small business. I will never go here again lady you need therapy to apologize to that chick..

Pritzker is offering the following at the moment:

1. Trust the courts. [not a viable strategy]
2. "Film the cops"
3. Vote in 2026
4. Protest [peacefully]

And he knows this is not sufficient. Everyone does.

He will not address the local cops angle because he might be deposed...

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

What do antivaxxers think autism is

A man and a woman are sitting in chairs near a TV screen that says “SCIENTISTS ARW MYSTIFIED AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING AUTISM.” An elephant with 12 hypodermic needles sticking out of it is sitting on the floor next to them looking forlorn and wearing a button that says “I HAVE AUTISM.”

During trump’s first term, it was air traffic controllers that tipped the scales regarding the longest government shutdown in history.
It appears they have decided to stop fucking around and go on and do the thing.
This is an outstanding example of the power of the working class.

Malignant machine spirits:

Benevolent machine spirits:
- crt display
- kei truck
- those industrial lights that you turn on with a big switch and they go thwomp thwomp thwomp as they light up

No soul, but evil within capitalism:
- large language models

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
