man interviewing to become top city lawyer won't say who's paying him to sue the city to block a law he would have to defend seems bad

I’m so sorry but Balto didn’t deliver diphtheria serum to sick children via sled in 1925 just for us to charge thousands for vaccines and withhold them from entire populations a century later

A lot to say here—but one thing is clear: Biden should pause all federal student loans right now. For everyone.

Liberals have been mostly ignoring and wishing this fact away but this is what campuses are going to look like this fall—both organized action and antiwar speech and the use of police to restrain them.

It is obscene to call a group that spent $100m to scare electeds into supporting military funding for a foreign government that is slaughtering and starving Palestinians "moderate". AIPAC's policies are extremist and their tactics are built around fear🧵

George R. R. Martin is the best to ever do it. A major writing project completely derailed by shiny distractions. 13 years of promises that it's "just around the corner". Amateur procrastinators can only look on with envy and wonder.

Microsoft built data centers near the drought stricken city of Colon—Mexico gave it subsidies & just one facility was allocated 25 million liters of groundwater a year. That's ~25% of what the general public gets. My colleague Diana Baptista visited:context.news/ai/video/forge…

Our current mayor's inner circle is being raided by the FBI and our last mayor is posting videos of himself putting coconut on pizza for reasons that remain unclear. I love this town.

This is gonna be the biggest nypd scandal of the century and I’m just gonna sit back and watch with some popcorn and some wine bc Eric Adams and his circle has been corrupt for 3+ years now and not very good at keeping it secret so, stupid games meet your stupid prizes

As a new academic year is upon us, a reminder that a lot of zooms could be emails and a lot of emails could be thoughts we keep to ourselves 😉
