I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

Now that there's no press pool, I woke up, looked at the paper and was reminded of Umberto Eco's introduction in his essay "Ur-Fascism" - "freedom of speech means freedom from rhetoric." The ever important essay can be found here: www.nybooks.com/articles/199...

Really saddened by the loss of Duncan Sheik. Inside you the time moves and you don't fade (and yes, I know the lyrics are by Richard Butler): youtu.be/XBz4JnbhYsQ?...

Bernie Lemons

I feel seen.

A web page just told me everything it learned about me without asking. It knew my city, my device, my GPU, and how long I hesitated before scrolling. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

The whole 🧵

“Not for rinsing or washing,” they said. (Seen at Union Station.)

the Knicks are leading 60-19, which is actually higher than the scoring margin on the scoreboard in this Space Jam gag before it says "kinda one sided isn't it"

We're reminding President Trump what it means to be born in the U.S.A. We're honored that the one and only Bruce Springsteen trusted us with use of his iconic anthem ahead of our landmark Supreme Court case, where we’re challenging President Trump’s attempt to overturn birthright citizenship.

One of my favourite ‘after’ poems- Mary Ruefle’s Red, a response to William Carlos Williams’ Red Wheebarrow.

A massive influence on my understanding of language, power, possibility - and he can go fuck himself into oblivion. Thanks for some of the words. Shedding all of these people like a chrysalis.

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

It's Elmo's birthday

This is why we turn out. It gives community to those who might otherwise not know that solidarity exists.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Carney's remarkable Davos speech. globalnews.ca/news/1162087...

Something I always wondered is how it would be covered if America became a dictatorship This is it

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Getting older means losing heroes, mentors and lodestars at a more rapid clip. Amos Poe was one such light pointing the way to creation amidst detritus and punching up with your own resources and a mighty band while being kicked down. May his memory be a blessing: deadline.com/2025/12/amos...

Freight trains. Box cars. Stuff them full. And then a quick selection when they arrive at the detention facility to identify those capable of good, hard work. For additional profit, also check for gold in their teeth and smuggled currency.

Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

This list of albums out of time - or of their own time - is really a perfect list. There are some on here that I was unfamiliar with and am going to give a listen to over the break: www.classical-music.com/rock/albums-...

"Voter suppression is proof that your vote has power"

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

This whole 🧵 is an essay that merits attention for a discursive analysis of decency, customs and fashion.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

This should be on a plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty.

Still remember when Goldman Sachs threatened to move operations to New Jersey unless they got tax breaks. Giuliani, then mayor, said "try taking your clients for lunch in New Jersey." Goldman stayed in New York.

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere

It was today I learned that One Step Beyond is a cover. And leave it to the inimitable @carlzoilus.bsky.social to provide criticism with nuance and social context (as well as a fre relatable biographical notes).

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
