the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Are you saying the Puritan coroner was just guessing that it must have been 3:07am because she was a witch

Saw The Conjuring for the first time and it was pretty good but it was very funny to me that a Puritan witch killed her husband and then hanged herself and another Puritan took care to note that her time of death was 3:07am

If you’re in the market for a therapist try asking them if they’d be okay with a Bravo crew sittin’ in on a sesh and if they say yes, keep looking

Any time I see a therapy session on some dumbass reality show I think Oh what a shitty therapist for agreeing to do this

I have never watched this show and I know I lot of people who like it but I could never shake the idea that cameras at therapy makes the therapy not fully real or effective?
