so awesome that nyc democrats didn't vote for the guy widely known to be a piece of shit! Assuming zohran wins the general election, the city 100% deserves to revel in its short break before (if history of NYC mayors is any guide) he also turns out to be a piece of shit

Happy 9th Birthday, Balzak!🎉 Our 2,448-pound walrus celebrated in true style with a custom ice cake, garnished with a gourmet selection of shrimp, propeller clams, and herring—all sustainable, restaurant-quality, of course. Don’t miss the “9” artfully crafted from herring by his dedicated keepers!

our school district just sent out some kind of warning about a "chromebook challenge" social media thing, and a) it looked boring so i didn't follow the link and b) this chromebook is delicious

i own and have read every aubrey-maturin novel so it is with no small level of expertise that i explain to you what happened: that ship was too tall to fit under that bridge
