"Is pitbull a democrat" in Google search, AI overview quotes Pitbull as stating "I'm here to bring political parties to my party, because they can't, they won't they never will, stop the Pitbull party."
Thank you Google AI
Oh and the naming the space oil “unobtanium” was the laziest thing I have ever seen in a movie, of course it made billions
I also hate the made-up language, like the least you could do is use an actual language and give people who speak it an Easter egg
Avatar—the non-airbender one; I guess it’s a white savior complex but it’s not like the Navi or whatever are real.
The critique I couldn’t voice because no one else cared was that actual aliens are highly unlikely to be humanoid, so the whole romance subplot felt exceptionally contrived to me
I guess the obvious ‘Smarter Obama’ would be Michelle lol
Honestly that’s a pretty tough role to fill, although maybe Stephen Colbert could be more charismatic / Dem Reagan
I like Ossoff but I don’t think he’s smarter than Obama
🙈
I am an optimist
What if Dumb Bush II leads to Even Smarter Obama
He’s dangerous specifically because he’s shown that he essentially has no principles or beliefs; it gives him a certain flexibility that a politician with a semblance of moral scruples could not match
There are a lot of phrases you can use to describe Donald Trump but ‘morally good’ is one I don’t even think his supporters would use
I mean this checks out to me when Donald Trump is literally the President
Memphis is clearly Holy Ghost Country
very Canticle for Leibowitz
I think their plan is to keep him distracted for 3 more years
Just learned that James Talarico is a single-stair guy.
I think this sort of cloning would be less popular than allowing more immigration; like it’s currently actively banned by the state of California
Kind of interesting that this single-family house near the epicenter of the Journal Sq/Homestead Pl construction boom on Van Reipen Ave just sold for 2% *less* adjusting for inflation than it did in March 2018, despite the new retail amenities in the area.
Douthat’s entire job is to be the Right’s devil’s advocate for the NYT audience—it’s actually kinda meaningful that he’s reaching a blank in terms of “reasons to support the GOP”
Are we thinking that today is the first day of fake spring in NYC?
I do think it's interesting where condos still pop up in NYC; like in Queens you're more likely to see them in LIC, Woodside, and Flushing and I've wondered how much of that is more permissive zoning versus cultural preferences
We weren’t ready for Neo Yokio
An 8 story apartment building
A literal country club is being replaced with an apartment building.
Previously through "member deference" Paladino would be able to block this project. However, with the new "affordable housing appeals board" if the council rejects it the Mayor and BP can approve it (and indicated they would)
As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is set to announce on Friday that an 84-unit affordable housing development on an empty, New York City-owned lot in the Bronx. It will be 100% affordable and include 30 units for formerly homeless New Yorkers.
This remains true: if the tariffs are such a political and economic winner, Congress could legislate them and pass them immediately.
That this is never discussed or even considered tells you a lot.
I still think it’s crazy he was a New Urbanist

All the best oracle are saying, Donald, if you invade PERSIA, a great empire will fall! We love our ORACLES, especially as regards to Delphi and Future! thank you for your attention to this matter!
I like also how you can make the case for each to be each—like the world’s newest hegemon (US) facing the oldest (China); or the world’s oldest democracy and written consitution facing the new societal settlement birthed in the wake of the Cultural Revolution and mankind’s largest-ever famines
