Learned today that I will be expected to use Amazon Pharmacy for RX meds I need bc of an Eric Adams deal that forced it on NYC employees and their families thru Emblem Health. This is EXACTLY the kind of thing the City should discontinue; @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, please don’t let this stand!

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…
To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

PS we have a song about the Yule Cat that all the children learn in school and everyone sings throughout the advent.
Here it is sung by a very young Björk.

First of all, one of the reporters on that story was in the Army infantry in Iraq
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

Friendsgiving intrigue! The candle I lit & left in our bathroom became a FIRE POT after a short career of burning normally; the entire surface was 4” flames. I blew it out & left the room for a second; it was so hot that when I returned it had RE-LIT ITSELF. It was, amusingly, an A24 candle

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.

A cave hotel in Cappadocia after a series of strategic blunders in Istanbul.
what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

Here, listen: when the President calls a female journalist “piggy” in a scrum, maybe you planned on asking about the economy, or whatever… But the story is now “the President called a female journalist piggy.” You asking a follow-up isn’t just defending her, it’s following the story.
while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
