@varadmehta Lightweight, small footprint. You could carry all but the thickest in your back pocket. Pre-kindle/smartphones, this was easiest way to have reading material with you always. Easy to read in bed.

“Yeah, but the pope said…”
Guys, some things can’t be excused by turning them into online slap fights because some things have larger implications than online slap fights. Such as blasphemy.
Trump needs to delete that meme and apologize. It’s that simple.

The Libary of Congress should "lock in," on a scheduled basis, inviolable benchmark collections of classic & significant works. The point is to establish cultural baselines so that retroactive editing can't disfigure, misrepresent, or ideologically warp our cultural history.

Sabrina Carpenter was blasted for lacking cultural awareness after an audience member emitted an Arabic "zaghrouta." But person who yelled doesn't know how to conduct themselves in US culture. Concerts are not social media—listen, don't comment.

@JohnSobieski83 @xwanyex Despite his claim he’s not a libertarian. Anarchistic perhaps. But the idea that of you live somewhere you own it is definitely not libertarian.
English
@xwanyex Weird to see a soi-disant anti-eviction libertarian. I suppose it could make sense for a libertarian to contest the legitimacy of post-tax sale evictions.
English
This is a good example of what I was talking about yesterday. This is a world vie that doesn’t see all the individual actors as part of a system of incentives, as free people making free choices. Like, who owns the housing, who pays for the housing, who pays opportunity costs, where does the housing come from, why does it get built in the first place, why does it look like it does, why does it exist in the exact location it does, why does anybody rent out houses at all, why does our system look like it does, and so on and so on and so on.
None of these questions are interesting to a leftist, because the leftist has less curiosity about the world than my five-year-old.
No, all that happened here is that some guy was made homeless. Why does this particular guy have any claim to this particular house? Does he have any particular claim? Does that make any sense? Should we work this out in a court? (This was an eviction, so it already was worked out in a court.)
No, again, this guy should just get to stay there because to do otherwise is to make him homeless.
It’s the worldview of a child.

The rights and well-being of conservative journalists are ignored by leftist governments and media
Physical attacks don’t count as violence if they’re against conservatives
Something’s wrong here

Where are the media folks complaining about her 1st Amendment rights being denied?

A few more thoughts on the machete attack at Grand Central:
1) The attacker had 13 prior arrests (one for menacing with a sharp object). Should individuals with criminal records that long be informed that they are simply not allowed on public transit for a period of time?
2) We don’t want to go back to the days of stopping and frisking random kids, but should police be empowered to selectively stop individuals who are visibly unwell for bag searches in and around transit stations and public spaces? I’m guessing this man probably didn’t appear of sound mind when he entered the subway. He also probably fare evaded — could fare evasion automatically trigger a frisk and/or bag search? Machetes and long knives are serious weapons that should be treated like illegal guns in terms of the attention we want to devote to confiscating them.
3) Thank god there were two NYPD detectives working overtime at the subway station. Certain leftists who say police don’t make transit safer are out of their minds. Civilians could not have stopped this man.
4) The victims were vulnerable elderly people, presumably targeted for their frailty and weakness. Transit systems must be safe for little kids and elderly people to use at all times of the day and night.

@bussyrizzler A groom who makes his mom cry at his wedding by refusing to dance with her is a bum
English
guys it was a fun wedding and I had an amazing time the only person that didn’t like it was the groom’s more traditional mother. It was hecking chungus Reddit core but I had a lot and my tweet wasn’t complaining my gosh
English
I went to a wedding where they did this for 5 minutes instead of a first dance. the dinner was also buffet style chicken tenders mac and cheese and pizza. there was a game room set up to play GameCube (2025) and my mom and I were the only ones who danced. the groom’s mom cried

If corporations allow you to sign up with one click, you should be able to cancel with one click too. Subscription traps, whether from an app or gym membership, are just another way corporations take advantage of working people. We've already put hundreds of companies on notice. This week, we proposed a rule that would make NYC a national leader in cracking down on abusive practices that nickel-and-dime New Yorkers.

@avidseries Might not be 80 but at least 70. It's not like I keep a tally.
Conservatarian.

I have a mix of conservative, liberal and centrist followers. It's not possible for me to tweet without making a decent percentage of my followers angry.
But I'm wondering if you are in that very small percentage of my followers who find yourself agreeing with my tweets at least 80% of the time.
If you are, please reply in the affirmative, and provide a brief description of your political orientation, if you don't mind.

@KeithMalinak @nycexpatmom I mean it’s nice that she rarely suffers from itching but she’s still ready just in case.

Shout out to my mom who has a bottle of Caladryl that's moved over 4,000 miles and expired in Dec 1991.
I was 15 then. I'm 50 now.
It expired before Bill Clinton ran for president,The EU formed, Apartheid ended in South Africa or you sent emails.
I'm both proud and horrified.

Angel is distributing this film. They didn’t produce it. It still goes out with their name on it, so that’s a concern, but not nearly as much as if they made it.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
Filmmaker Marcus Pittman on Angel Studios' Animal Farm: "I honestly have no idea what they were thinking with Animal Farm. My best guess is that they just wanted Seth Rogen and Andy Serkis attached to their projects. My fear for Angel Studios is that they are very quickly abandoning their punk rock, let’s sue Disney, David vs Goliath attitude that so many people invested their hard-earned money in, and now they are wanting to become part of the Hollywood System and gain the respect from all the same people who will never really respect them." Do you have these same worries about the movie?
English
@martianwyrdlord Exactly. Those flaws allowed for character growth.
English
@mgarbowski Luke had deep character flaws that he needed to overcome.
English
Naturally she fails to understand the meaning of Mary Sue entirely. It does not mean "girl character", it means "perfect character who can do anything with no limitations".
Luke Skywalker was a half decent pilot with a degree of natural ability with the Force that takes him years to develop. He isn't particularly good at anything else.
From the very beginning of The Force Awakens, Rey is an expert pilot, a master martial artist, a top spaceship mechanic, and within five seconds of finding out that the Force exists ascends to the level of Jedi Master. She's also hot, smart, brave, and all the other good things. She needs neither assistance nor instruction. Character growth is unnecessary and impossible. Her only struggle is getting people to admit her natural perfect awesomeness. And even this comes easily to her.
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
Daisy Ridley says calling her character in Star Wars A Mary Sue is sexist: “The Mary Sue thing in itself is sexist because it’s the name of a woman. Everyone was saying that Luke had the exact same [capabilities]. I think Rey is incredible vulnerable, and nothing she’s doing is for the greater good. She’s just doing what she thinks is the right thing. And she doesn’t want to do some of it, but she feels compelled to do it. So for me, I was just confused.” Is this why modern Star Wars fails because they can't understand criticism?

It’s kind of wild that a Supreme Court case upholding the rights of Asian American students not to be discriminated against in university admissions is coded as “anti civil rights” without question or exploration of the underlying premise.
Richard Hanania@RichardHanania
Washington Post: the current Supreme Court is the "first since at least the 1950s to reject civil rights claims in a majority of cases involving women and minorities." Alright, the Trump era hasn't been completely bad. Civil rights law is part of the reason our politics is now so broken.

At first I thought we should ban pitbulls, but then I watched this video and realised there’s a bunch of related breeds we should also ban

@SlumRNA_Dog She says this and I’m wondering “has Texas eliminated residential wealth segregation with this policy?” I doubt it. So why isn’t she looking into that?

Being a smart rich libtard and sending my kids to “I hate whitey” high school so they have a shot at valedictorian but at the seriously increased risk of getting punched in the back of the head and getting a tbi
wanye@xwanyex
Just to state this plainly: I do not think that rich people will move into undesirable, poor neighborhoods on the hope that their mediocre kids will be in the top 10% of those school districts and will therefore get into college on that basis 🤷🏻♂️

@nicolegelinas Streetsblog just hates cars and trucks - doesn't matter if they are robomatic or human driven, personal, commercial, rideshare, taxi, whatever.

SF had 17 pedestrian deaths in 2025 against a population of about 810k. NYC had 111 ped deaths against a population of about 8.5m. NYC's per-capital pedestrian fatality rate is less than two-thirds of SF's. There's no evidence at all from this current or historical data -- sf.gov/data--traffic-… -- that Waymo is making Sf's streets safer (or less safe) for walkers.
Wally Nowinski@Nowooski
I know New York is extremely parochial — they just “invented” trash cans last year— but it’s disappointing to see Streetsblog arguing this from first principals instead of asking SF cyclists and pedestrians how they feel about Waymos. Outside the anarchist fringe, we love them
