It’s hilarious how conservatives are terrified of crime on the NYC subway when this is a much more accurate depiction of what it’s like

My hometown of Asheville has been underwater for days. Many nearby towns are wiped off the map. What most folks don't know is that Asheville is where the National Climatic Data Center is located - bc it's considered to be one of the safest climate havens in the country.

Six Israeli & US officials tell Politico that the White House encouraged Israel to invade Lebanon, that they had to be quiet about it for PR purposes (good work on that), and that this sparked opposition from within the Pentagon, State & intel agencies. politico.com/news/2024/09/3…

Because Tony Dokoupil showed his ass with this staggeringly racist diatribe, Coates’ message has now been viewed 26 million times. So thank you, comrade Dokoupil, for doing more than perhaps any other mainstream American journalist to advance the Palestinian cause in America🫡🇵🇸

The Mets have forced me to reconsider my stance that a team should only have one gimmick at a time. Coming around to the idea that actually the perfect baseball team is a tangle of fast-food mascots, roadside pumpkins, and journeyman infielders working on their music careers

Loved that when the trailer for Crimes of the Future dropped everyone’s like “ear man! Cronenberg’s back!” And then the movie is like “only idiots like ear man”
