"Cuomo's position on congestion pricing is he supported it when he was governor, because he believed the time was right; he opposed it 7 months ago, because he believed the time was wrong; now that it turns out the time was right after all, he supports it again. Leadership!" @tomscocca.bsky.social

Man typed a harsh assessment of the presidential aide who falsely called demonstrators an insurrection because he aims to unlawfully increase the use of force against them, idk

My hot take is that while this is not an inaccurate statement about standard and unexamined professional norms, the uses of "inappropriate" and "for a journalist" and "covering" and "the White House" here all could bear a little inspection and consideration

seems to me the basic error these centrists are making is that they are playing on enemy turf, rather than trying to raise the salience of issues that favor them

"These are real people with real families" cool when they come home do they tell the kids about how they busted up an elementary school graduation that day

Having sports coverage written up by league-run house organs means that this sort of meat-market speculation is being paid for by the same people who actually operate the meat market

Just the other day I heard—did you hear this?—you hear these crazy leftist Democrats saying, they say, oh, let Moloch grow cold, let the brazen belly of Moloch burn no more with the all-devouring flames of sacrifice, sick stuff—folks, we are going to keep Moloch HOT www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/c...

Less than 48 hours after saying she wished New Yorkers cared about women getting harassed, State Senator Jessica Ramos is set to appear at a campaign event with Andrew Cuomo and announce she is endorsing him.

The distance between Elon Musk being the richest person in the world and Elon Musk being in prison for an obvious Theranos-style scam that kills its victims is the distance between the world we live under and the world we have on paper

Studiously avoiding having an opinion on Thibodeau but "blew an unblowable lead to the Pacers" is clearly not in itself something you can hold against a person

For comparison when Bloomberg published video this week of a Tesla in fraudulent Full Self-Driving Mode blasting full speed into stopped traffic to kill a woman who was wearing a safety vest, it only shaved like 12 bucks off the share price www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

I think you can make a reasonable case that the move in retrospect was to take very coercive steps to vaccinate everyone ASAP then do a full reopening. Instead the "Dems kept schools closed too long!" people always insist it was BEFORE the vaccines that everything should've reopened. It's insane!

Couldn't make up a meaner parody of the discourse than the moderators asking all the candidates a breezy lightning-round question about where they'd go abroad as mayor and then seizing the opportunity to hammer Mamdani with follow-ups to try to force him to endorse Israel as a Jewish ethnostate
