I've been to Australia once, in 1998, and nothing that's happened there since is my fault. flic.kr/s/aHsk69iRWf

Re the NY AG election: @sarithaforny gave us a brief and tantalising...and for a while invigorating...glimpse of what a morally decent, high-IQ, high-integrity, no-BS politician might look like, and of all the good things she could do for New York. Now it's back to staring, zombie-like, at a winner who's the embodiment of decay and corruption and cronyism.

The last time Leo XIV voted was to elect a pope. This time he's voting for East Joliet Sanitary District Trustee Board At-large. May he discern wisely.

I do not understand why the mayor and his allies are fighting so hard to get an illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal record turned loose in New York City. Why do we want this guy here? Why are you for him?

For the record, if I am ever murdered by terrorists, please have a disproportionate response.

Princeton was founded by Presbyterians in 1746, but nature is healing.

In a decades long conflict in which one side murders concertgoers with a certain regularity, there is only one side musicians should be taking, and anything short of that is a moral failure.

If they alter the architect's plans *in any way* I am staying away from this grand opening.

I’m sick of anything related to “Palestine.” Sick of the people, the branding, the constant demand that the rest of us treat it as the center of the universe. The world is full of slaughter. Africa. Syria. Iran for nearly half a century. None of that gets this daily, wall-to-wall treatment. Somehow this one small conflict is supposed to override every other horror and make everyone rearrange their attention around it. Fuck that. It’s grotesque. The self-importance is disgusting. These people are disgusting.

If you tried to write the darkest possible parody of this movement, I don’t think you could do much better than “it’s important to support child-stranglers of color”

Another one of our @TheBabylonBee prophecies fulfilled

Priest's sermon yesterday mentioned correcting someone's misuse of less/fewer as an example of an unworhty and pendantic criticism of one's fellow man and I am now resisting the urge to convert to a more judgemental denomination.

You've honestly got to hand it to the architects. Oh yeah we're the guys in charge of what the manmade physical environment looks like. BTW everything we like is horrible and we hate you.

There’s no reason to live anywhere but one of these three places: 1. Where your family lives 2. Where your spouse’s family lives 3. New York City

Lisa Simpson’s wedding, which took place 15 years in the future at the time it aired, now takes place 16 years in the past. #TheSimpsons

I love ice cold drinks so much. There is nothing on this earth that I love as much as ice cold drinks. I will never understand the depraved European perverts who do not like ice cold drinks.

The mayor of New York is just straight up promoting antisemitic blood libel courtesy of Hamas propaganda from an official government social media account tonight. Less than a week after his administration tried to arrange a diplomatic meeting with the Iranian terror regime, which has repeatedly pledged to kill every Israeli and murder the President of the United States. And barely a day after confirming to the New York Times that he held an ICC ruling above American law and was trying to arrange the arrest of the Israeli prime minister in a direct challenge to American sovereignty. All while New York synagogues are now regularly under siege from mobs of his followers, and the DSA marches through the street with Hezbollah and Hamas flags. This is where we are in New York today. What is to be done?

Every city at America has a small chunk of historic blocks that are treasured, popular and teeming with life. They look at those blocks and say “we can never do that again.”
