Feels like I'm going to wake up one of these days and find out the U.S. now pays Social Security purely via ape NFTs.

We just published a 3,000 word feature on Elon Musk's incursion into the federal government. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

We are in such, such profound danger. They are doing the Reichstag fire to the most crucial and foundational payments layer of the Federal Government.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

Can always count on the Dems to bring a banana to a gun fight.

We need to figure out who's on these DOGE teams. Start taking pictures and making them public. Document what they're doing. Create a paper trail that forces them to slow down. Anything to throw some sand in the gears and make them nervous about future jail time

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

A constitutional crisis requires friction to make it legible. That often comes from conflict between the branches of government, but a Republican-controlled Congress and SCOTUS are not interested in challenging Trump’s lawlessness. That why it’s *especially* important for Democrats to act.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

I am not sure why so many parks have been slow to take up behind-the-scenes tours. It has been a money-maker for years and can be interesting for a lot of large and/or historic properties #RollerCoaster #ThemePark #AmusementPark

Some patience, please, they just started their jobs. The people at DoD aren't sure who is responsible for getting cocaine for the drunk Secretary of Defense so he can do a press conference.

Little victories, #NIN tickets acquired.

Tommy Tuberville, the dumbest living Republican, single-handedly blocked over 440 military promotions for 10 months. Dems need to just get dumb af and start saying "no" to everything. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/u...

I am looking forward to seeing the new section at Lagoon Park. Steampunk is always a good theming choice. #RollerCoaster #AmusementPark #ThemePark

Almost been hit by a car in Baltimore? Transportation officials want to know where

“It’s one of the great success stories of white supremacy that there are so many things that are rooted in white supremacy that we take for granted as normal.” — Paloma Wu, speaking recently to @bolts.bsky.social about felony disenfranchisement in Mississippi: boltsmag.org/mississippi-...

An interesting approach to working with sound in amusement parks. I have been a part of quieting coasters for park use, but not trying to develop a soundscape around the mechanical sounds (and screams). https://buff.ly/42ujAv0 #AmusementPark #ThemePark #RollerCoaster

“We tend to treat the car as a closed thing, ignoring its impact on the environment, the climate, and the pedestrian. We need to think about big cars in the same way that we think about cigarettes: Affecting not just the user, but everyone around the user.” Via @davidzipper.bsky.social in @vox.com

Dying in a mental asylum in 2004 because I went back in time to tell people that The Apprentice would lead to the end of medical research, the Civil Rights Act, and birthright citizenship.

My new story @nyc.streetsblog.org shows another early and unheralded benefit of congestion pricing: fewer crashes! nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/23/c...

When you get a three-legged dog you don’t realize part of the deal is scratching where he can’t. But he’s a good bit so it’s cool.

I wish I could see Luna Luna in person. This exhibit has a crazy backstory. https://buff.ly/40rlkT9 #AmusementPark #NYC #ThemePark

The Democrats are about to get taught a lesson about Power Vs Laws and they are gonna try their very best not to learn it because the lesson would make everything they've done for the last 25 years seem ridiculous if it were internalized

Live your life so that when you die, some joyless schmuck is annoyed that his entire social media feed is a wall of people's posts talking about how much you and your work meant to them

With all the sexual museum exhibits it is surprising that the sex/amusement park crossover took so long #ThemePark #AmusementPark

If they’re gonna save TikTok we need a federal law that if you’re watching it for more than 30 seconds without headphones on it’s legal to do something bad to you

A cool collection of facts about Space Mountain, a surprisingly influential coaster concet #Disney #RollerCoaster #ThemePark #AmusementPark

It is interesting to see more parks expanding their hours for late night events. This used to be the norm, but over the last decade a lot of parks reduced their hours and COVID killed what was left #AmusementPark #Themepark #RollerCoaster https://buff.ly/4h71ljq

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits:

My mom: “Save some cookies for your sister’s family, they don’t get here until tomorrow. Me, crumbs tumbling out, “That sounds like a you problem.”

never has there been a character in film i've more wanted to get absolutely shit-housed with
