@iaindunning @mattyglesias Yeah, I’m just not impressed because it’s a slide. A single competent employee could have done this for far, far cheaper.

Everyone dunking on this McKinsey report is absolutely midwit or worse. Read this dsny.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/upl… and I guarantee you'll learn something.

Zohran is cancelling the NYC Department of Social Services' $9 million contract with McKinsey. Starting in 2022 under Eric Adams the City of New York paid McKinsey $1.6 million to research trash cans.

@iaindunning @mattyglesias You could hire 1 grad student from CUNY or 6 undergrad interns from Columbia and NYU and they would give you this same product tbf

@hecubian_devil As a man and I’m just happy to be here (hanging out in your replies) 🫡

The gender split on my replies vs my retweets is very funny

@StephStradley I can’t speak for other professions but I would take the top lawyers in this town (especially trial lawyers) against anyone from anywhere. A lot of them are just sneaky smart. They get underestimated but they’re exceptional.

I don’t mean Smart Guy as a gendered term but kinda accidental
One time we overheard a group talking about their lawyers, and they were talking about who had a Smart Guy, who liked their Smart Guy. And then we started thinking about all the Smart Guys of every job. Love it.

Houston is a Smart Guy town. Everybody has a Smart Guy for everything. So many engineers, professional and not. We get ish done. @NASA vibes are everywhere because we will go to that SG level on everything. We legit NASA our beer, beer chugging, everything

@mikeysmith The thing about SNL is more than half of the sketches can be flops, but then they nail one and it sticks in your head for weeks. And it’s always the silly, stupid, unhinged stuff that rises to the top like this.

@PoliticalUklist @kateyrich Yeah I think you’re on to something here.

@kateyrich British people can't be trusted with the Jumbotron.

Daniel Radcliffe falling in love with American Jumbotron culture is so surprising and incredibly charming vulture.com/article/daniel…

@cmclymer This is an example of “different internets” to me, because I haven’t seen this woman’s face in about two years.

All I know is that not a week has gone by in the past several years without a Riley Gaines appearance on a podcast or news outlet or cable network show crossing my timeline. I have never seen someone who's "being silenced" be this consistently visible in the public square.

@PNav57 Why are you asking? You already know the answer.

@jarodhitchcock I’m an extremely middling amateur golfer, and honestly, I identify with the women’s game more. They (usually) have to hit their whole bag and they can pull off some SHOTS with a bunch of different clubs.
English
It's so stupid that men's pro golf has turned into a game of game who can hit it the hardest to the exclusion of the wedge and the putter.

@NoahMF Every once in a while I read an article or essay that sticks with me for years. Adam Serwer’s “The Cruelty is the Point” is one. I think about it all the fucking time.

Half the country cheers for this. They revolve their priorities in life around enabling and expanding this.
They want to isolate, persecute and hurt people who are different. That is their lodestar. That is their religion. That is their God.

@joshryancarr As an American watcher of SNL for many years, here’s the thing: probably over half of the skits will be flops, but when they are good they’ll end up sticking in your head for weeks or longer. You watch in hopes of seeing the GREAT sketches.

I’ve not watched the full show yet but genuinely everything I’ve seen has been pretty funny? I think a bit of bedding in and this could be a winner

Charley Hull turns 30 today. Seems like yesterday she was 17 and asking Paula Creamer for an autograph after defeating her in singles at the Solheim Cup!

@kissphoria As someone who genuinely struggles to keep his car registration current, I respect the hell out of folks who go through that. (Had a friend do it in NC recently and it seemed easier than this but idk.) Much love ❤️

Before Texas took away the ability to do so, changing the sex/name on your ID meant going to court, paying a few hundred bucks, getting a court order, and spending time to go to every relevant office to get documents updated + paying associated fees. Not exactly "falsification"
Rachel Cohen Booth@rcobooth
@KelseyTuoc @lymanstoneky Yes. People now claiming those residents “falsified” their docs as opposed to legally changing them. Changing the policy with no transition period is genuinely burdensome. (I’m currently in process of changing my own identity docs from marriage and it all takes a while!)
