I am not making a banana bread, pastrami, cottage cheese sandwich!

Pleeease @KristenJohansen and @actblue do something about these scams. They are absolutely destroying the beautiful commons you have created

And another. From a new number so that they can ignore my STOP. @actblue really should establish a process for cutting these scammers off.

Dear @actblue why do you let these scammers use your platform?

@NYCTSubway @MTA 15th Street–Prospect Park station on the F/G in Brooklyn. Both readers at the Windsor Pl entrance had this screen

@danielmintz @MTA Good evening, and thanks for reaching out. To verify, at which station can this OMNY reader be found? ^MM

Can't say I've seen this before @MTA

@KathyHochul Cool. Then do congestion pricing

My friend and fellow Dem Gov @gretchenwhitmer said it best: Women get it done. #DNC2024

Perhaps this deserved to be higher up than the 20th paragraph of the lede story in @nytimes:

@chrislhayes But the chains, Chris! Why on earth would someone have a New York Fahgettaboudit Mini Kryptonite chain, if they weren’t a professional anarchist?

I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?

@AlexWithAK @richmintz I'm particularly fond of the car with this sign and Maine plates. Registration Not Insurance Fraud

It is deeply hilarious for the owner of this house that they bought for $2.5M a few years ago (then heavily renovated) to be whining about building housingon a parking lot a block away.

@ParkerMolloy Not seeing the Center....

@richmintz Of course. Amazing

@danielmintz Ordinary camera on a neck strap

Just sitting in the Northern Blvd bike lane eating his lunch! I let him have it

@BeraDunau @3vanSutton Seriously. His background performance is one for the ages

@3vanSutton How could you not love Kyle Gass?

@lloydtabb Super cool

If you are into data visualization, Speros will blow your mind. Data is not rectangular.

@chrislhayes @steve_vladeck Alito’s naked partisanship/hackery is breathtaking. It’s just so transparent. The others are so much more conscious of how they come off.

@steve_vladeck hahaha. yes. Alito did a bit about "couldn't another trial court come to a differnet conclusion?"

We’re almost through Mitchell’s argument and there hasn’t been a *single* substantive question about whether Trump engaged in insurrection. That’s … not a good sign for a ruling *affirming* the Colorado Supreme Courf.

@teej_m Future you: My goodness, TJ, thank you so much for writing these docs. They’re incredibly helpful. Even further future you: Nah, don’t really wanna bother.

Me: write docs! They’re important for any project! Writing is high leverage! Also me: i don’t wanna

@matsonj @pdrmnvd You stole my joke. And it’s not really a joke

@pdrmnvd Is this a ZIRP?

@Atrios Not that husbands are their wives, but you know who Jake’s wife used to work for?

@teej_m @pdrmnvd Agree. In that type of data, ignoring the bad data and waiting for the next correct reading often solves the problem. There’s a “correct” value and either the data reverts or it stays wrong and then you deal with it. Whereas what’s the correct value for sales on Monday after NYE?

@pdrmnvd Entirely overrated. It works best on “signal”-style data that repeats often and predictably: like thermometer readings or CPU utilization of a server. It’s terrible for data driven by human behavior (traffic, clicks, usage, etc)

@RogerSchaeffer5 @richmintz Sure. If you’re refining it like Guzzoline, you’re good. But Last of Us? Station 11? Walking Dead? Takes a lot of infrastructure to keep refining gasoline

Not gonna repost it but “it’s the end of civilization, what kind of car are you buying” is a perfect encapsulation of how broken this country is Like … no car, literally the last thing that will be of use to me after the end of civilization is a car
