I'm working on my turkey burger skills (mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce are key) since my dog won't even touch what passes for frozen hamburger patties these days.
I can attest from personal experience that walking in NYC from the Village north to the West Side starting at 4:00 AM is a perfectly good way to get back to your hotel. And, trust me, walking through the garment district just as it and the sun are starting the day is a truly wonderful sight.
I strongly suspect straight White men from out of town being drunk with false courage and thus being unable to stop themselves from foolishly mouthing off to urban residents is the root cause behind the exaggerated claims of just how dangerous city streets and public transportation are.
Yes, I know that Dave is now sober, but you don't have to be wasted to wander around any world class Big City at night, all night. You just need to know where to go and how to get there, no matter what cowardly White suburban dwellers and unadventurous rural residents will tell you.
Very appropriate for someone who wants to be mayor of the City that Never Sleeps. (One part of the NYC mythos that is most definitely not an exaggeration!)

I'd like to see him do it again, but next time with Dave Atell.

New Yorkers have never had a mayor who represents the multiculturalism of the city like Zohran Mamdani does. As Trump and the GOP represent the last vestiges of white supremacy, Mamdani represents the new America — a country of inclusiveness. Better get used to it, motherfuckers.
This looks like a 1990's test scene for CGI.

Something that Science and Math has shown not to be true with a very high level of confidence.
Familiarity may breed contempt (but usually just boredom).

But it takes Fear of the Unknown and lots of false tales from the unknown to create true hate for another race.

Just remember, racism is as simple as believing that one race is intrinsically better or worse than the others...
This all because we have fucked this up in so many ways over the centuries that admitting the obvious fact that, with endemic racism, every native born US citizen, is at the minimum, at least a little bit racist.

The most extreme racist prejudices are held in racially homogenous areas.
centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

You poor sweet summer-child! You are making assumptions about members of Trump Administration 2.0 to which they have no right and no reasonable expectation. The only thing we can be certain of is how constantly and easily they liel No information can be relied upon until it is fact checked.
ICE and BPD have been given free Reign in Texas to jails and prison here and most of their arrests are happening
behind closed doors.

Did someone just suggest this probably means that, here in the Lone Star State, they are doing better at removing the worst of the worst?
But, Frank, you might say (anyone living here in Texas, that is), I'm not seeing brown people being plucked from the streets of El Paso, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, or Houston like they are tackled and taken away elsewhere. What gives?

Trump, Abbott, and Paxton are working together.
I recently saw a video describing, state-by-state, the percentage of immigrants deported by state and the State of Texas led is 26% of all deportees coming from Texas.
ICE is creating the violence in our streets while violating local, state, and federal laws. ICE is America's #1 domestic terrorist
organization. Once Trump leaves office, ICE agents claiming they are just following orders will be prosecuted. ICE will be abolished. ICE displays the banality of evil.
Fun fact: if you don't have a way to measure a critical quality then how are you going to take it into account in your final assessment?

If the only data you can collect and process is price, size, and mass, beauty and eloquence are just random factors.
How do we measure things like usefulness, ease of use, and cleverness of design? Are they always scalar values?
Using dollars to measure the quality or value for goods and services provides a nicely behaved data that can be easily massaged by statisticians and manipulated by politicians. However, not everything that is important to new buyers of goods and purchasers of services can be turned into a value.
Ah, but you didn't follow the money all the way to THEE end: the ad departments of the same media outlets that trash Dems in their news and opinion divisions. Consultants, press advisors, print, radio, TV media are all part of the same tail eating system.

Please let all your friends who aren't paying attention know that ICE is being used to take from us every amendment in the Bill of Rights, including the First. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.
