Ok this guy seems good

Gossip girl here, your one and only source into the scandals lives of Manhattan's elite

Wow I legitimately thought this was going to be because he mentioned Palestine. You will absolutely not be able to predict why they stripped him of his title. I am starting to feel like we are seeing an enormous cultural backlash against "smart kids"

this is so despicable, if we thought the loneliness epidemic was already bad, now we have the richest most powerful companies encouraging loneliness. these tech CEOs want us to only have ai friends

yeah grown ass men with sausage fingers are also out there painting tiny dolls using nail art brushes so they can play house* with their friends. american men have plenty of manual dexterity *warhammer 40k

The argument “young white men turn to hate because they don’t get enough empathy for the barriers they face” needs to square itself with the reality that men and women of color — and many white women — faced generations of barriers without turning to hatred in the same numbers. 1/

IS THIS NORMAL? HALF OF THE BUDGET FOR THE CITY'S SECOND-BIGGEST PARK GOES TO PARKING LOTS?

She’s never had to open a Microsoft Teams. An email has never found her. She doesn’t need to “circle back” to someone. And that’s why she always looks so happy.

swing voters are the stupidest people alive and it’s insane that our lives depend on them

FACT: The more people choosing to walk, bike & take public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS. Anyone claiming that less car dependency is a “war on cars” doesn’t understand how cities (or geometry) work. It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

If you would like to know what it is like living as trans right now: I cannot think of a single week in the last 5 and a half years since I transitioned where a politician, celebrity, government or public figure of some prominence hasn't attacked trans people. It is constant. Never-ending.

NEW: Andrew Cuomo is mounting a stunning political comeback despite 12 women accusing him of sexual harassment just 3 years ago. I spoke with several of the women whose claims were substantiated by three investigations. They feel betrayed & forgotten. www.huffpost.com/entry/andrew...

We call this the Abughazaleh Method

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

"we can't have better public transit, because we don't have good public transit" "we can't have better bike infra, because we don't have good bike infra" "we can't make driving safe, because i rely on my car" these are not good arguments

FULL STORY: 17 members of the Chicago City Council joined together in an unprecedented show of force Wednesday to block a vote on a plan to allow CPD officials to preemptively impose a curfew begin enforcing it with 30 minutes notice to stop large teen gatherings. @wttw.bsky.social

They should make Chicago permit parking slightly more expensive imo

i was not familiar with your game ken jennings

they should give buses ambulance sirens and require cars to pull over to let the bus pass

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

This is a massively underrated take and needs to be instituted yesterday.

14,000 babies are at risk of dying in the next 48 hours in Gaza if aid doesn’t reach them, warns Tom Fletcher, the UN’s under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs – a figure he called “utterly chilling.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/x26ghx

I love when people say "automated trains could never work in Chicago" when these move millions of people a year

been getting yelled at for almost five months now about how "there's nothing Democrats can do, they're in the minority" and yet WHEN they can block bad Republican legislation what are they doing? passing it

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

A reminder

What is the point of an FSA

In my reporting on generative AI, I keep saying artists and writers are the canaries in the coalmine. That what happens to us will soon happen to everyone. Here's the first step to this happening to everyone: companies using AI deepfakes to interview job applicants. SMDH slate.com/life/2025/05...

“If Harold Washington had been able to finish what he started, this would already be a different city. Now, Brandon Johnson is our chance to pick up that torch and carry it forward. He is not a symbol; he is a strategy,” one Chicago organizer penned. thetriibe.com/2025/05/opin...

This is a real thing. Democrats are *supposed* to be normal and good and rational, and Republicans are *supposed* to be deranged.

It’s wild how corporate America backed Trump big and small, thinking he’d be some grand era of deregulation and profit-making, and instead all of his actions have been “you should make LESS profit to avoid damaging me politically and avoid being honest with your customers”!

"Do not run across a crosswalk apologetically. You are of this earth and walk among her choir. The devils commanding their wrenched chariots have long since severed the roots of their flesh and need a reminder that a leisurely stroll triumphs the roar of their insatiable machines." -gooselander

Great job everyone

Please can we end this motherfucker’s campaign now?

Okay, there IS one circumstance where a plantation wedding photoshoot would be cool. But you have to be fast

Democrats just flipped the Omaha mayor's office with ads like this. The right-wing obsession with genitals is starting to backfire.

Yup. Also, when every site starts filling up with junk novels, it makes it less likely for people to take a chance on authors they’ve never heard of or haven’t tried, and people eventually stop trying. A giant crapton of bad books ARE a threat to good books.

Tragedies strike in threes.

Really not beating the allegations that many CEOs could be replaced by AI

If you thought social media had scrambled America’s CEOs just wait until they’re fully cooked by AI apple.news/AJ_ht7MMyT9G...

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I learned that Kat Abu was dating Ben Collins.

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

This is beyond evil. Every part of it. Just fucking evil.
