I’ll explain why some other time but my most important travel tip is “figure out if the balcony doors will lock behind you before you go out there.”

@gleick ❝Maggie Jordan: How can you be biased towards fairness?

So NYPD subway cops chasing a man for $2.90 in fare money, shot 4 people, including a bystander and another cop? Cool.🤦🏿‍♂️

An important thing to know about the subway cops stopping the crime of fare evasion, is:

An alleged assassination attempt by a mentally ill person using a gun is a terrible reason to vote for the man who made it easier for mentally ill persons to get guns.

The more I learn about the world of money moving around, the more I think most of what people do with it should be banned. From hyper-rapid proposing and retracting trades to saddling companies with the debt incurred to buy them: no, no, no, and hell no.

This is of course a useless thought. Capitalism loves running itself into disasters with games like these.

No. Fucking fuck this.

Her defiance didn’t kill her. “It” didn’t kill her.

I did not expect Laura Loomer to be the Wallis Simpson of the 21st century.

Ok now I definitely need to get a network cable, just to see if something's still living on the far side of these wires.

I mean, there's no chance. None, there is just no way.

But now I have to know.

Just reminding you that if Biden had lost a debate so badly that he basically said he was retiring from debating within 48 hours, the New York Times would have pronounced him literally dead.
