New Yorkers have waited their entire lives for tonight: when the Knicks championship banner will be raised into the rafters of Madison Square Garden. What a testament to the incredible 2025-26 Knicks and the city that stood alongside them every step of the way. LGK.

Finally! The strongly worded letter that will solve everything!

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

tired: bluesky is dying wired: bluesky is slowly turning into a minnesota-only social media network. Soon it will become another local curiosity like saying "parking ramp" instead of "parking garage" and playing duck duck gray duck

I already have to spend time with these people on holidays. That is plenty of time to understand their wretched beliefs.

The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we disagree about facts. Sometimes we disagree about values. Figuring out which is which is fun part. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/my-libertarian-friends-were-right

Even if we concede that it could do these things well, how much is one really willing to pay for this? Can they sell enough ads to make it free? What percentage of that meal plan ends up as sponsored recommendations?

I can’t say strongly enough that these are not realistic scenarios for the people I observed and, based on data about family lives, almost anyone else we might consider normal and/or not rich.

I'm not much of a Pokémon person, but my son is & trying to buy him cards at retail prices has been nigh on impossible the last couple of years, and I refuse to pay scalpers for anything. So it warms the cockles of my heart to see so many of them having a full meltdown about the recent set. Enjoy!!

Without context this must read like insanity

The Nazis made minority groups wear identifying marks in public, and then forcibly relocated them into ghettos and concentration camps and then murdered around 17 million of them. If you are comparing a bus rerouting to the Nazis, you should absolutely just shut the fuck up in public.

Guess they didn't gargle his balls enough. Will they learn anything?

MS NOW and CNN journalists were turned away from the White House this morning following Trump's announcement that he was banning several media outlets.

9/11 has got to be the number 1 single most successful attack in all of human history. totally destroyed the psyche of the worlds most powerful empire and 2 decades later it throws away its own hegemony desperately clawing to regain the confidence it lost

I am sympathetic to Silicon Valley guys ascribing human-level consciousness to AI because if I had to talk to people from Silicon Valley all day I’d probably have a real low bar for sentience too

Broken swing sets? Missing basketball nets? Have no fear, Renew Crew is here. Neighborhood parks are meant for recreation — not frustration. If it’s broken, this crew will fix it. If it’s run-down, they’ll renew it. Renew Crew: Coming soon to a park near you.

A word had a meaning for nearly a hundred years until bad faith actors tried to obfuscate it, and its important that we: 1. Let them 2. Do not ever question their motives

god i'd give anything to be at the minnesota state fair right now. a hmong corndog, a bucket of chinese sausage and cheese curd dumplings, an order of ube cheesecake wontons, and unlimited glasses of ice cold milk would cure me

Testing the limits to see what it takes to get a modern naval crew to mutiny seems like an odd choice
