Charlie Kirk Ah, yes, Charlie discovers how the judiciary works—someone get this man a Schoolhouse Rock DVD. 1️⃣ Checks and Balances 101: District court judges interpret laws and issue rulings based on the Constitution—NOT the "will of 80 million voters." That’s literally their job. 2️⃣ Funny

Fascinating

Just watched Nonnas on Netflix. Lovely film, I did tear up, laugh, loved the cast (Sopranos, Cosby show alum & S Sarandon!) love it was set in my old neighborhood, Bay Ridge. But.. Vince Vaughn really missed a fun opportunity to cop an easy South Brooklyn accent. #Fuhgeddaboudit

It’s pretty funny seeing all the maga tweeters, who I don’t even follow, losing their action over Zohran Kwame Mamdani wining the NYC primary. The complaints about “immigrants taking over” are straight out of the xenophobic playbook.. same arguments heard 100 years ago.

"Fundamental" truths about software: - Code is liability - The more code you have, the more bugs you tend to have - The more complex a system, the more important architecture becomes - Writing maintainable code is a lot more effort than just getting it to work

Incredibly satisfying to see Billy Joel get the widespread recognition he deserves. Growing up a Long Islander, he was always the home team. My first cassette was a homemade copy of Stormfront my older cousin gave me. And so it goes…

Not to be dramatic.. but history doesn't bode well for countries who consolidate their police forces under federal control. Especially when the leader of that country exhibits, let's say, "authoritative tendencies."

If people were actually concerned about losing a good ole American family restaurant, they’d go to actual family-owned restaurants not Cracker Barrel, a chain cosplaying as a family-owned restaurant. Reality-check: your values eat your nostalgia for lunch (pun nerdily accepted).

Unreal

Not the biggest Springsteen fan BUT Nebraska is stunning, fascinating, & one of my favorite records of all time. Releasing “Electric Nebraska” 43 years late starting with the dark, original Born In The USA is an absolute boss move. youtu.be/9YNufvgPP20?si…

I’m super confused.. are the American flags around my neighborhood because they are protesting tomorrow or because they’re maga?

These people clearly haven't ever spent more than a day in anywhere besides Times Square. lol None of my NYC landlords or direct neighbors were American born.. first landlord was an 85 yr old Italian man who didn't speak a lick of English.

Been a fan of Affinity since it came out and I wasn’t going to pay Adobe with my first born. Incredible move here.

The blatant racism against Mamdani is wild. Disagree with his politics as much as you want, but to claim he’s a jihadist and invoke images of 9/11 just because he’s Muslim is as anti-American as you get. Been 15 years since I’ve lived in NYC, I still think it’s the greatest.

Very interested to see how NYC and NJ do these next few years. Glad to see some smart Democrats take the helm. Hoping they lead well and wisely.

Are you even a parent if you’re not fueling up with espresso, queuing up Bad Santa, and wrapping gifts with your partner right about now?

This didn’t work in Iraq and it’s not legal. You can’t just invade and occupy another country... unless you’re a dictator who thinks they can do whatever you want.

What’s the 25th amendment for if not this?

Unexpected forms of generosity: -Being early can be a form of generosity. You wait, so they don't have to. -Leaving something unsaid can be a form of generosity. You don't always need the last word. -Delivering your work on time can be a form of generosity. You make life
