Hard to tell if people pretend to be dumb about what was clearly obvious just for anti Dem clout or if they have genuinely made themselves dumber in terms of their own media literacy over time by indulging that tendency.

no one is making the arguments you’re responding to, in case you want to post with more efficiency and relevancy

why do schools call it character day and not Halloween? my only guess is to include kids whose parents think Halloween celebrates the devil

"Something about this version feels more welcoming, one of the rare third spaces in the city where leisure costs nothing and the pluralism on which we pride ourselves bears out." — @jawnita.bsky.social

After All That, the New East River Park Is...Fucking Awesome

We'll have to see whether the new resiliency infrastructure will withstand another superstorm, but we're happy to report that the park itself is, so far, a smashing success.

very, very upsetting to see the NYC city council is spending my taxpayer dollars on NIMBY propaganda mailers against the pro-housing initiatives.

Vote YES on props 2-5!

also v stupid that they’re tying the initiatives to Eric Adams when they won’t go into effect until 2026 when Zohran is mayor!

GET THE FACTS:

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS ON THE BALLOT
Mayor Adams' misleading ballot
PROPOSALS 2, 3 + 4 hide that they take away your power.
We need more housing, but giving away our power to developers leads to
LESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND MORE GENTRIFICATION

K pop demon hunters is anti-god
The creators decided it would be a good idea to add demons in a kids movie, my kids are obsessed with these demons. Even though Christianity teaches us never to trust them, K pop is woke media, and making a movie out of it is a horrible idea. It was conveyed very bad, I recommend no kids watch this.

yeah and it’s a facile position to take when lower courts - who have significantly fewer judges to spread the work around- do it all the time

my biggest beef with Pixar is how emotionally devastating the stories are - to parents. I guess some kids (especially as they age I guess?) probably feel it but Finding Dory, for example, is extremely sad to me, and to my son he's like - look! sharks!

we shouldn't elect political nepo babies because it's confusing to read the case law about all the Cuomos/Kennedys etc. this is a good enough reason independent of any other.
