This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

London Calling

This is something a waiting list system for affordable housing would solve almost instantly

these guys literally only know one move and not only is it a terrible move on its own terms, but in this specific case is wildly inadequate to the moment.

Awful: a 15-unit pair of heavily altered townhouses on the Upper East Side, with a pre-war high-rise on one side and a breeze block modernist townhouse on the other, are being renovated into a bland, historicist single-family mansion under the guise of “preservation” www.nyc.gov/assets/lpc/d...

8-ish years ago I got strangers to pay off $300k in “lunch debt” so kids who were being punished for owing money could do things like eat, go to prom, and, walk at their own graduation. In the 20 years I’ve engaged in social media, I have never received more hate for anything else I’ve said or done.

yelling at fascists is good and it can get results 👍

I look forward to the ADL’s declaration that we can’t possibly know what Elon means by this

Just walked down Mulberry Street & I have to call it - that block between Canal & Hester isn’t Little Italy anymore.

Is there any other system out there that *stops* its own transit to check fare payment?

I know we're all feeling fairly pessimistic, but does anyone else think these centrist Dems are really misreading the politics of the near future? This capitulation has some real "Supporting the Iraq War in 2004" vibes.

Yesterday Trump called said the country has bigger problems than Tik Tok and then said it wasn't even a national security threat. This morning congressional democrats are on CNN pushing back on this. ...and this is exactly why supporting right-wing priorities never works.

This is so bad

How does the NY Times allow people to just tell obviously made-up stories like this?

Happiest nine bucks I ever spent

💯 “I think you said flight status. No, Agent. I think you said ‘A flight to Gent.’ AGENT.”

I am going to make my first exclusive Bluesky thread Club World Cup thoughts/predictions because I am desperately trying to find soccer twitter #onhere

Liverpool’s gonna mess around & win the quadruple and then not get to play for the Club World Cup. Truly a ridiculous competition.

People like having cars and big houses & trying to pretend differently serves nobody.

Legit question: can anyone point me to any post-election take that isn’t “here’s why my priors were confirmed?”

I'm good on urbanism, someone tell me where soccer twitter, sumo twitter & NYC is

How do I find soccer twitter on here

As a certified Member of the Tribe, I'm not gonna, like, try to _stop_ any gentiles from putting a mezuzah on your doorframes (please support your local small Judiaca shop if you have mezuzah needs!) but I am certainly gonna look a little oddly at you.

Can anyone tell me the story of this 7-story residential building smack dab in the middle of downtown Minneapolis? It’s surrounded by commercial skyscrapers & there’s a 30-story residential right down the block.
