I live in New York. No, not that one. No, not New Jersey. No, not the bit by the waterfall- you know what? Never mind.

Everything I like is retro because I am old now. He/Him.

New year, so it's time for a "Things I watched in 2026" Master Thread - will try to remember to add shows and films to this list as I complete them (season by season, in the case of things that are multi-season).

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:

—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.

These will all go to 2026 referendums.

Periodic reminder that this guy LOST his election in Minnesota and he's doing more for those constituents than the Mayor and the Governor combined
"If you want to investigate fraud, bring an accountant,” Stancil, a Democratic activist and education policy adviser told me as we drove around ... The ICE agents in Minnesota don’t look like accountants. They look like soldiers. And you don’t bring soldiers unless you want to fight a war."
Richard Warnica: I spent the week in Minnesota. The only thing I’m sure of now is that more people are going to die
As confrontations between ICE and protestors and activists grow more common, the tension only rises.

Today is the day that the layoffs affecting my team are effective. It is not going to be a good day.

Abolish Ice should be a centrist position

GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good.

Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

~50% of the people living in the US weren’t even born the last time a President invoked the Insurrection Act. And when GHWB did that in 1992, the soldiers deployed to LA were not given live ammunition.
I was in the midst of preparing a Morning Memo arguing that Minneapolis is shaping up to be the catalyzing moment that Trump was looking for to justify doing what he has wanted to do since his 1st term: invoke the Insurrection Act...when he posted exactly that:

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

i can talk about how expensive celiac safe foods are all day!!!!!! it sucks!!!!!!! it is medically necessary and expensive!!!!!!!!!
Grocery prices are high right now. A decent pizza slice in NYC is $5. Almost no one wants to eat rice and beans all the time. And it's even more challenging if you have allergies, dietary restrictions, or certain disabilities. The Agriculture Secretary's comments are not realistic for most people.

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.

The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I live pretty close to Ginna and I would love to not only see new installed capacity there, but enough new capacity to let them to take the ::checks notes:: 55 year old reactor there offline
Woah: Hochul wants New York to build *5 GW* of nuclear power, up from 1 GW she announced last year. That’s more than has been built in the US in the past 30 years.

via @syracuse.com:
Hochul ratchets up NY’s nuclear plans, aims to lead U.S. in building new reactors
Last year, the governor called for 1 gigawatt of new nuclear capacity. Now she wants 5 GW.

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.
Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.
