you see your pets twitching their little limbs in their sleep and say to your partner "look, it is running through a field in its sleep", you are wrong: your pet is in a casino: throwing dice, playing slots and video poker, walking on two legs and betting large on a blackjack table

These two horse's asses shelled out wheelbarrows of cash to attend Yale, only to wind up at the NYT sounding just like eleventy thousand reactionary goobers you could find in any county in Arkansas. Incredible stuff.
Wait till you get to the discussion of Loper Bright, Corner Post, and Jarkesy aka the “deep state” cases www.nytimes.com/2024/07/08/p...

Maybe I missed it but I’ve never seen a NYT scoreboard for the number of governors opting out of taking federal money for feeding hungry kids (twelve) or even the number of states where a McRib is currently available (zero).

It's probably fine that Tony Blair was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein. It's not like everyone around the guy was on the spectrum of sex pests & rapists, I mean you had Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, Charlie Rose, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, oh wait wow

I kneel in the direction of Google HQ chanting my mantra, "the electricity needs of AI supercede the human requirement of an inhabitable planet" outside the window a choir of Boston Dynamics robot dogs bark the national anthem
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — Google falling short of important climate target, cites electricity needs of AI.

Turning a big dial that says "Racisme" on it
“On Tuesday, Mr. Macron accused the new left-wing New Popular Front alliance of Socialist, Green & far-left parties of being totally “immigrationiste” — a word often used by Ms. Le Pen’s party to describe politicians who encourage uncontrolled immigration.” It’s all masks off in The West.
The Nation Resurgent, and Borders, Toowww.nytimes.com In France, as in the United States, feelings harden against immigrants, and President Emmanuel Macron and President Biden take note.

On week three of my Two-Face experiment. I put all manner of serums and unguents on the right side of my face, including sunscreen when I go out. The left side I wash with Dial hand soap (extra drying) and whisper insults to. I’m starting to look really fucked up 😌

Maybe NYPD can use their helicopters as giant fans to cool off the libraries
Four NYPL branches had broken air conditioning this week amid 90-degree temperatures, despite being city-designated "cooling centers." Library officials blame $750,000 in deferred maintenance exacerbated by Mayor Eric Adams’s recent budget reductions.
After budget cuts, NYC's libraries can't fix broken air conditioners amid heat wavegothamist.com The air conditioning was out in at least four New York Public Library branches on Tuesday, forcing two Staten Island sites to close.

"I don't work here, l'm just black", I respond, angrily. But I do work here. When you go to the counter to ring up your items, l'm there, staring at you, maintaining eye contact while miss-swiping your items several times as the scanner beam illuminates my eyes like a terminator.
