I just saw this! There are people on the roof. Not sure why. Lots of fire trucks are converging on this street.

There's a dual crisis where games take too long/too expensive to make and console upgrades provide far too little value to be worth upgrading which will put the industry into a historical recession.

Just to be clear. This redevelopment goes from 2,000 old NYCHA units to:
2,000 new NYCHA units, plus
1,000 additional new affordable units, plus
2,000 new market rate units
And the old buildings don’t come down until the new buildings have been built and NYCHA residents move in.
Marx's theories of change were based on the idea that there were 99 workers for every boss and numbers were on their side. He could not have expected that within our lifetime there will be more retirees than workers.
I don't think there's anything you could do in a mosque that would make an execution justifiable.
"for kissing" they had sex inside the holiest mosque on the face of the earth, why do we just lie for no reason?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Saudi Interior Ministry said the pair were executed for an "indecent act" (fahisha) inside one of Makkah's mosques but gave no details confirming sex or identifying it as Masjid al-Haram. The man's family stated they were not married and did not know the woman.

The Poconos are beautiful at every time of year, but this is a clear sign the entire region is failing to make housing affordable.
How far are you willing to go for your chance at the American Dream? Since the completion of I-80 in the 1970s, generations of New Yorkers have decamped to the Poconos, transforming a cluster of towns & enduring 3hr roundtrip commutes to their jobs in NYC. thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/…
People used to say that we were in an urgent crisis and we needed immediate action and if you disagreed you were a climate denialist.
If this bill gets one more solar panel added to the grid and if net emissions falls by one gram then it's obviously worthwhile.
If you put monthly expenses on credit and pay off the card each month, you never accumulate interest but get to prove that you can be trusted with someone else's money. That's good when you have to be trusted with larger expenses. But it's fine to acknowledge you can't be trusted
Seems dumb tbh

Someone who doesn't enjoy the taste of beer has not found their favorite beer yet.
Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.
It is hard to deal with being accused of something untrue. It is possible that AI detection software is imperfect, and it might be flagging certain ethnic phrases incorrectly. But many of the criticisms seem to be against checking for AI entirely. They seem like marks.
The death penalty has been unacceptable in Catholic doctrine much longer than I've been alive.
And at this point I'll pray for anyone who doesn't have TDS.
Today is World Against Death Penalty Day. He doesn't have to say anything about Trump but people keep projecting criticism because they know he's the first pro-death president.
There's a proposed train line to my hometown which has been protested for years because people are afraid it'll bring too many black people from Camden. Racists should not have a veto point over something which will benefit the rest of us.
