Mayor Eric Adams, asked by a reporter about the lack of air conditioning at migrant shelters during a heat wave, says, "Every day New Yorkers don't have air conditioners. We make do." He recommends paper fans and says his mom told him to put his head in the refrigerator. —Emma G. Fitzsimmons, NYT

Look on his works, ye mighty

I will never forget the interview, shortly after Ozy Media Inc. was formed, where Carlos Watson said he named it after the poem, because "the lesson you take from [Ozymandias] is that you have to dream big." So that's why liberal arts education is important.

Senator Menendez is guilty on all counts. At least, he is until the SCOTUS majority gets to weigh in.

i just want everyone to remember that a major campaign insisting the polls are just wrong and then losing and expressing absolute shock about the polls being right — this is not a hypothetical and it’s not fanciful. it’s exactly what romney-ryan did in 2012.

You know the RNC is a poorly organized mess when they couldn't book the lettuce instead.

Like a harbinger of doom, Liz Truss has arrived at the RNC.

There's a "Mr. Show" bit where they are going to blow up the moon. A monkey is supposed to press a button. But the monkey asks why are we blowing up the moon? So they replace it with a different monkey who will press the button no questions asked. And that is how the current GOP VP was selected.

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.

Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

This is NYT’s portrait of a Trump rally, where the explicit agenda was putting millions of people in concentration camps before deporting them.

A few hours after posting on Facebook that “the left” was responsible for the assassination attempt (without any evidence for the claim), the OR GOP then issued a statement calling “on the media to stop feeding the contentious us-against-them culture amongst Americans.”

You’d think there might be some renewed coverage of Republican politicians openly calling for political killings in the wake of all this. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yes, requests for non-fascists to "lower the temperature" is just a nicer way of putting the Heritage Foundation's statement that the revolution will remain bloodless if liberals allow it. It's a demand for acquiescence to the conditions of violence they created.

Seen a lot of comments like “hey Americans who support democracy, oppose political violence, and value truth, we have to take the temperature down,” and while well-intentioned, I don’t think it’ll work, because they’re not the ones raising the temperature.

I’ve already seen social media posts sharing details & pictures about different individuals who appear to share the name of the suspect in the NY Post’s article (which is itself not corroborated at this time). This is really a time to be careful about unconfirmed information.

wild living in a country where "this person had access to military grade weaponry" doesn't narrow anything down in terms of which sort of person could be responsible. Military veteran? PTA president? Disaffected tween? who knows
