Mayor Mamdani at the New York Aquarium, being greeted by a seal! (Okay, the seal was bribed by a trainer, but Mamdani is still a trooper!)

Wait... WHAT?!?! Trump is determined to find something, ANYTHING to get even with Comey for... sullying his good name...? <snicker!> www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/j...

JetBlue's latest operating numbers came in in the pooper. Declining foreign tourism, rising ticket prices, declining discretionary personal income, and the ridiculous cost of jetfuel can't be helping.

Kudos to whomever made this video. It's accurately hilarious. 👇😂👇😂👇 (Yes AI slop)

End of an era? When I got into IT work on Wall St, I had a college degree, but not in that. I was a hobbyist with hands-on experience, which was enough back then. I was in demand! Had important-sounding titles, too. Since then, millions have formally trained in IT. But now the jobs are going away.

Definitely worth a read, and a repost.

OKAY, America! We're up next! Time to hobble our own budding totalitarian government and band of crooks! VOTE OUT EVERY REPUBLICAN!

How do we evaluate this?. Are 6.7 million workforce "dropouts" significant? And what about the inability of employers to fill 800K job openings? Whose fault is it if they can't attract applicants? And if this is some kind of sociological problem, isn't it at root a failure of government policy?

Air pollution. Not just the PPM stuff, but the thick, stinking, hazy smog that pooled around Manhattan, on every major highway and even rolled out to suburbia. I remember driving with my Dad from Long Island to Queens, cresting the Kosciuszko Bridge and seeing just a yellow cloud below.

I wish I could slam the inboxes of all of US mass media with this! This is directly analogous to the (pitiful) news coverage of the war on democracy being conducted by the Trump Regime.

This is why IoT is a terrible idea. Anything you hook up to the internet is... <drumroll, please...> CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET!! And now, thanks to AI, which is very good at hacking, everything is less secure than ever. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/13/f...

America, where citizens of all stripes, whatever their kink, have the vote! Funny thing, though... I've never been accosted by a furry demanding I join their ranks, which is more than I can say about evangelicals.

The very fact that someone can spin up a new cryptocurrency out of nothing should warn investors that none of these cryptocurrencies have any real value, not Bitcoin, not Ether, not any of them. Ephemera, all of it. [gift article link valid 7 days] www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I think Trump has dementia. If you can listen to Trump and think he doesn't have dementia, you have dementia. If you can watch how Trump interacts with others and think he doesn't have dementia, you have dementia.

Grew up in the South, which is still very segregated. My father was born in 1918, & could remember lynchings in his hometown of Manchester, GA. I can recall white & "colored" water fountains & entrances when visiting my grandfather. Heritage goons & the 6 corrupt SCOTUS have ...1/

My mood, reading the news.

So, what's the verdict? Is Anthony Scaramucci officially off the hook as a risible measure of short tenure in a White House position?

This! If anything, it's an understatement. Not only should they never have power again, there must be justice for the sedition, the subversion, the treason, the murders, child-trafficking, abductions, rapes, thievery, and terrorization of peaceful civilians.

It's a fiction that private enterprise can do the same job as government at lower cost. Shoddier, maybe, but never the same quality for the same money.

Wait... WHAT?!?! Guy threatens the President, VP, etc., and gets 24 month sentence. Other guy commits a rape and threatens to kill the President and gets 18 months??? What? Did the judge CREDIT him with 6 months for the rape?!?!?

I couldn't be prouder!!

This is how long a Zacharia (or, "Zach," a measure of Presidential appointment tenure) is:

Subject line of this morning's Bulwark newsletter: "Katie Zacharia’s Problem Is That She’s Bad at Lying" Actually, she's just bad at talking. And reading. And presenting herself as a serious person. In addition, she seems remarkably unintelligent for someone who presumably did okay on the LSAT.

An intelligent sense of humor is not to be undervalued. Mayor Mamdani talking about his new tech team:

Trump trying to get the EU to unfreeze Russian assets??? This is outrageous. Russia is in the middle of a war of aggresssion against an ally of the US!! Not to mention, whatever representations Trump makes about the US taking charge of the $$$, YOU CANNOT TRUST HIM. He'll give it to Putin!

Kristol and Eggert title their Bulwark "Morning Shots" newsletter, "Trump's Strategic Flunky Reserve Is Running Low." The whole thing is a treat, but here's a taste:

Our country has become the gross uncle that shows up on Thanksgiving already drunk, talking about how much he hates his ex and that alimony is "bullshit".

None of this is hyperbole. Plain, simple, accurate observation of what Trump has done and is doing.

Important reminder. Another important reminder: the monarchical Trump is a vindictive madman, using all the power of the Executive Branch to persecute his political opponents, all of whom he considers personal enemies, and therefore enemies of his Kingdom. But, the US is not Trump's kingdom!!

A great Mayor acknowledges others and celebrates their contributions, and does so in a way to bring all New Yorkers together. Reminding us all that New York is a city of immigrants could not come at a more critical time. We are under siege by a divisive, fascist regime in Washington.

The Fort Hood shooter is in prison, paralyzed, confined to a wheelchair, which is exactly what he deserves. Do they seriously want to add pathos to the barbarity, by rolling out the condemned to the firing squad in a wheelchair?! Even if you're into blood sport, this seems less than sporting.

Trump thinks renaming Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" is smart. This would be smarter: Name it "Stupid Intelligence." Good grief. Circumventing the controls: brooklyneagle.com/421225/talk-...

Living the rest of his life in prison as a paraplegic wasn't sufficient punishment for the Fort Hood shooter? So you have to execute him by firing squad on live TV? A man who can't even stand up? You going to shoot him in a wheelchair? Why not tie him to a cross for Christmas? Sick, sick, sick.

The US perverting its financial powers to sanction the ICC will only result in growing parallel institutions that diminish the US's financial powers. SWIFT is HQ'ed in Belgium, an ICC member. The EU could sanction the US! They're already repatriating their gold from the NY Fed's vaults.

I hear Gladiator/Crusader/Centurion Hogsbreath has giddily decided to air a firing-squad execution. This is good. It sets a clear precedent of what to do with him after he's convicted of war crimes.

So, Trump wants to nuke LA??? Let this updated "Daisy" ad nuke HIM!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhIe...

Sending the Tates to jail? I'm sure there are countries that would solemnly send them to hell. They have done everything short (we think) of murder to have earned the death penalty somewhere. The abuses, the broken lives, the utter offenses! www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

Comparing Trump to a 3-year-old is probably unfair, to the 3-year-old.
