non-New Yorkers might wonder why everyone seems so delirious tonight. welp, this is the rare instance when rich assholes tried and *failed* to fuck over the city for everyone else. you love to see it.

Surprisingly effective things Zohran Mamdani ran on: -free buses -rent freeze -halal cart for $8 instead of $10 -taxing the 1% -no cost childcare -city-owned grocery stores -a Department Of Community Safety for mental health programs and crisis response -building affordable housing -why Cuomo sucks

Keith King vanished 19 years ago in Seligman. A private detective thinks he's cracked it. He believes King was killed by a romantic rival, chopped up and stuffed in a septic tank. He just needs authorities to dig it up. From @stephenlemons.bsky.social:

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Explosive original reporting about Trump's plans to drastically restructure domestic law enforcement to target immigrants en masse and crack down on opponents.

SCOOP! We have secret Project 2025 documents laying out plans to drastically restructure domestic law enforcement -- from the feds on down -- under Trump's command. It's ostensibly about deporting immigrants. It could be used for more. At @phoenixnewtimes.com, from Beau Hodai:

modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

we've had almost a year to forget about this deranged apple commercial and the only nice thing to say about it 11 months later is, it articulates a silicon valley / doge worldview that now feels familiar www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntjk...

We’re in a pretty dark place when amicus briefs are suggesting that judges appoint ad-hoc marshals to enforce its orders because the actual US Marshals won’t do it

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

Now is a great time to be supportive of trans people you know, or those you don't. Actually, always is a great time to speak out against the goddamn lying ghouls trying to pretend trans people are some mysterious threat to anyone, and not just people trying to live their lives.

I'm not kidding about that, I'd love to know when SCOTUS last issued an order at 1:15am. Particularly any such orders in a non-death-penalty case.

incredible scenes when you have a president who hasn't achieved object permanence

What WHAT WOW! The cost of climate action fully affordable!
