- Vekoma is very good now, suddenly
- RMC stays elite
- Intamin can build *literally anything* if you pay them enough
- Mack is surging with tons of great rides
- B&M is still mid but the general public loves their slop, so who am I to judge

All this and so much more!
It’s 2026 and so many people don’t even know that we are in the Golden Age of Roller Coasters

Zohran Mamdani’s early success isn’t accidental.

From scrapping corruption-era policies to hiring people who actually know how to wield power, his early moves offer a blueprint for how Democrats can govern with competence and values.

It's kind of incredible how many of these now are pretty clear cut crimes, and not even *that* trivial of crimes, and juries still just totally don't give a shit. Like shining a laser pointer at a pilot is kind of a big deal, and an entire jury is like 'we wish it had crashed.'

Any jury would convict if presented these facts.
It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard.

I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am.

I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.
Not to be too morbid, but today's reporting is that she was actually still alive for several minutes. He said that to her while she was dying.

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent.

More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.
Why universal child care is closer than ever in New York
One of Zohran Mamdani’s most expensive ideas has surprising early momentum.

"X". An app with a single letter name. An app that can do everything. An "Everything" "App". The idea came to me and I couldn't help the smile that crinkled up the corners of my mouth... in delight! Now, the only thing left to do was waste $44 billion on it and become addicted to child pornography.

exactly this. do you correctly view MAGA as an evil force that jerks off over murdering women and flash banging babies, which must be crushed and destroyed forever? Or are you still clinging to a dangerously naive delusion that these creatures can be won over with the Power of Debate?
the dividing line amongst democrats is basically do you view republicans as existential threats to the country or do you view them as sparring partners.

it’s 2026. cuck democrats can either get on board or get primaried

Spanberger is centrist but also clearly genuinely thinks Republicans are scum and for that she deserves plaudits
Wow

The night before Spanberger’s inauguration

She’s cleared house at UVA

Top Youngkin appointees resign

Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta

It’s interesting to see people’s priorities.

While one person is hosting an event tonight to encourage people to run for local office, another is hosting Ben Shapiro on their podcast.

Trump, in a sit down interview on Fox News aired just now, said the US will be conducting land strikes against the cartels.

"We are gonna start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).
Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

People will see this and be like “immigration bad” and those people; we simply cannot share a society. Go away.

More people are realizing that we live among many who refuse to be part of any just society. If there’s a world built after this one, they won’t be part of it. They’ll do their best to burn this one to the ground and salt the earth for a hundred generations when they realize they can’t build theirs.
