"Young mayor gets caught using police gym for pickup basketball" is the plot of a kids movie where the mayor is the hero

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

last night I got through all but the last 30 minutes of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which I've seen before but don't know how I'll rate yet

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

Last quarter Tesla published a chart that showed “Cumulative Paid Robotaxi Miles,” which actually showed a quarter-on-quarter decline. Yesterday the company completely changed the chart. It only shows raw miles now: techcrunch.com/2026/10/22/t...

once again I am saying that it needs to be Callum Turner so we get Dua Lipa as the Bond girl and also the theme song singer

Whoever does the Bond theme I just hope it’s not a dramatic ballad. Give me a pop banger. We should’ve had songs by Charli XCX and M.I.A. by now

how all of these conversations would actually go

Philip Bump@pbump.com

Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

what kills me about AI is that the people making it always talk about these high-minded uses that would supposedly benefit the world, but in the real world it's always used for the most manipulative and disgusting slop you can possibly imagine futurism.com/artificial-i...

My final tally after five days with the Revuelto. Highest mpg I saw was 16, on the freeway/PCH drive out to Malibu in the calmest drive mode the whole time. Lowest was my typical around-town average of 5 mpg, because city traffic and Sport mode

Do I feel like an asshole for wearing Pilotis to drive a Lamborghini, yes, but they’re the only shoes I own narrow enough to actually fit my foot comfortably on the dead pedal

Fuck you if your bag of chips doesn't have a story on the back about why your founder decided to pursue a new approach to chips

Spent all day driving the Revuelto around, from stop-and-go city traffic to some highway stretches and a great rip up Angeles Crest. Got better gas mileage on ACH than around town! It’s so exciting to drive all of the time, super fast without being scary and very easy to live with as a regular car

I successfully parallel parked it backing up on a hill on my first try in front of a bunch of people sitting outside a cafe. Very proud of that. Earlier in the day the parking sensors and 360 camera stopped working for an hour. Luckily it fixed itself before this

Got a new tattoo today, same artist who did my goblin that we put it next to. They were doing Halloween flash specials this weekend, and I already had my eye on this design while scrolling through their page months ago. In love with how it came out

The best thing about the Revuelto is being able to plug into EV chargers. I’m seeing a movie and will come back to a full charge! That’ll be five whole miles of range gained! Amazing. And it is very funny that the plug is in the frunk.

I did have to fill up tonight… at 1/8 of a tank after just under 100 miles of driving lmao. Averaging 6.5 mpg; admittedly most of my driving has been in the city in sporty drive modes. $107 to put 15.4 gallons in it. With a full tank it shows a possible range of like 270 miles, which ain’t bad

The interior is boring black, though at least it has a lot of silver accent stitching, and the rest of the spec makes up for it. There’s over $50k in exposed carbon fiber on the outside
