The public-facing side of American conservative politics more or less amounts to crashing out constantly about a bunch of shit that either you or the weird liars you listen to uncritically have made up. The non-public part, from what we've seen of the chat logs and such, is somehow much worse.
Unfortunately, if Cuomo loses tomorrow I will be forced to leave the city that I love. Never again will I walk out of the door of my building and take three total steps on the public sidewalk before entering my private SUV on the way to Zero Bond. Never again will I experience my private box at MSG

the "working class" is more likely to be a black woman working as a home health aide for $11/hour than whatever Leonhardt &c imagine. The concept only ever contains a particular kind of usually-white always-man. It's as absurd as Schumer's imaginary Bailey constituency.
today i emailed the fire department to ask if i could arrange to bring my kid to the station for his birthday and they were like "yeah just ring the doorbell and ask if they have time to show you the fire engine." i guess it never occurred to me we could just show up and demand to see a fire truck
told a little boy in the grocery store that he was doing a great job helping mama today and should be proud of himself and you should have seen the smile on his face, he was just pleased as punch. right in front of his brothers who weren't helping, too
there are two ways to solve political division: (1) concede so much that you are functionally the same or (2) fight until you win. the republicans have clearly chosen the second path - and it only gets easier for them if the democrats follow ezra's advice to choose the first.
I think there's a big divide on politics in our country that's non-partisan, and it's between people who actually follow politics by listening and reading and trying to figure out how things work, and people who think consuming politics-flavored content makes them politically savvy.
my cousin is using her awesome huge new house as a dropoff and assembly point for a staggering number of emergency food donations she's solicited and is inventorying and dividing up into stashes for each of the local elementary schools. it's like, the whole first floor
My guess is that this was for a non-public system that would already need stronger authentication on a workstation for access so the shared password was "good enough", but there's a lesson here - it’s not just if it’s “good enough”, you also have to ask if it would be embarrassing to see on a report
my grandfather who was a retired pediatrician and wwii veteran and i used to watch the daily show and the colbert report together every night for basically the whole bush administration and every time cheney was on screen he'd pick up anything nearby, slippers, magazine, handful of peanuts, to throw

statute of limitations has long since passed and i'd never do this now [citation needed] but I once tossed a dead palm tree, roots and all, down the chute. i had to stop myself from laughing until my sides hurt when there was a "to the guy who..." sign taped to the front door the next day.
One of the arguments made for why it's okay to steal copyrighted IP to train an AI is that it's like educating a child. First of all, no, because no child has read millions of books and retains all of them. Second of all, when you educate a child, you don't then OWN that child. Currently.
Facebook has been feeding me nothing but NYC conservative slop after I commented on a Nicole Malliotakis post and lemme tell you, after reading the comments I am not nearly as certain as Andrew Cuomo that if the Republicans don't vote for Sliwa they'll vote for him. I think they'll stay home.
