You wrote it was “one of the least accessible.” How am I being pedantic? I explained that it’s really not. What? Why? Which beach in the city or near it is more accessible? Orchard Beach? Brighton Beach?

It’s your post! Scroll up.
The last sentence of your first post????
Have you read my posts about Newsom? Carefully? Then you’ll see I agree. He’s a heartless, capitalistic, transphobic ass whose best and highest use is as a troll. Full stop. He should NOT be elected to any higher office or any office again. I write like the academic I am. Sorry, not sorry.
Yes, but your original point is that the beach on Far Rockaway is inaccessible from the city. My point is that it is not. You can take the A or transfer from many other lines, particularly at Broadway Junction in BK and of course midtown in the city. The A ends after BEACH 125. Inaccessible where?
Oh I see you’re talking about the end of the A line. Cool. Your point doesn’t make a whole lot more sense. No ferry, sure, but also no need to switch to the Shuttle outside of rush hour. Now you’d have a point about Jacob Riis. But I gather you won’t concede that you overstated your original case.
You wrote it was one of the least accessible to the city…it’s not if you don’t have an issue with transfers…did you read what you wrote?
Yes, but you can switch to the A at Broadway Junction from several other lines and there’s a ferry at Beach 108 from Wall Street and Sunset Park. Which beach is easier and cheaper go get to?
300 words is so few! When they put this limit on my academic conference submissions I’m killing myself to make sure I’m still getting my point across in so little space.
Movement is movement! It’s how I psyche myself up to clean the house.
Yeah no. If you live off the A train it’s the most accessible.
So fuck the disabled right? Ughhh! I hate it here!
Isn’t it fun being held to standards that are based on the illusion of a fantasy of femininity?
They jacked snatched from the drag community. It means you are perfectly corseted and padded. Let that sink in.
I want to love this but there is no Greek letter F.

The lunatic is on the grass…
This is the only correct answer!
Someone hasn’t read Dying of Whiteness I fear. All of those extra children will simply be fed into the corporate-fascist machine and die earlier than their liberal and POC contemporaries due to deaths of despair and needlessly neglected health. They will be the GOP’s Soylent Green.
Which means Palou was absolutely approached. Lol.
Adams was so bad the Dems actually primaried him. We don’t do that in NYC, which is why we got two Blaz terms. Mamdani on the Dem ticket wasn’t luck, it was the perfect storm of the breathtaking incompetence of Adams and Cuomo’s absolute inability to read the goddamn room.
Mmmmkay…but where else can I get chicken fried steak with white gravy, green beans and collard greens off 1-80 in PA? Hmmmm?? If I had better, I’d do better. Also…the hash brown casserole still slaps. 🤤
I mean FB’s lack of content moderation in Myanmar proved that the model works.
Throw in Julianne Nicholson for good measure.
That’s the deep lore…you just gave me a acid flashback to the before-fore times of trying to advocate for repro rights in NY around those assholes.
Thank you for helping me block a large pile of humorless clown shoes today! While giggling.
Not my favorite song on the first cassette I ever bought?! Freeee Your Mind! 🗣️
Yes!!! He’s an asshole. Right now he’s our asshole and his asshole behavior is being directed toward our common enemy. Period. This is the best and highest use of his talents. Governing is not.
NYC also has a huge concentration of art and design schools, precious few of which have teachers’ unions. People come to NYC to study and bring their creativity to the world. The only way that remains sustainable is if professors, most who are part-time, have access to quality health insurance.
The way no one could put those fake ass stats together that quickly with numbers that fresh. Please be so fucking for real right now JD.
Do it again…only my worst family members are from there.
PSA: Jonathan Meades’ wildly entertaining series of documentaries on architecture and authoritarian dictatorships is all on YouTube for free…
Black folks, especially black women, have been historically over represented in government jobs because they were the only good white collar jobs they could get in this bum ass racist society.
Thank goodness…think of the rumbles in the tumbles from all that quaffing if it was spicy water.
Hell the kid’s lucky he doesn’t have to wait in the car until it’s time to drag Dad out and drive him home at 10 years old. …Ahhhhh…that’s that good generational trauma… 😮💨
Gonzorb are you drinking Momb’s spicy water? I didn’t think you would like the bubbles…
He’s a transphobic asshole….but he’s our asshole. Any pundits who are worried about how this shithousery will ruin his 2028 chances hasn’t been paying attention. There was NO chance. Trolling is his best and highest use.

We got a big ole rainbow for a bit in Far Rockaway
Stewart lost me with that lab leak nonsense and completely gasted Colbert’s flabbs in 4k when he tried explaining his nonsense on The Late Show. Also, Wyatt Cenac would like a word.
Oh no for sure. I am NYC-based but I am in DC for work a few times a year and I get stressed just being the passenger princess. I…don’t think I’d ever choose to drive in another country.
But surely the traffic is just as bad. 🥴I’ll drive in NYC before I fuck with those two lane main thoroughfares with NO left turn lane in the middle of the district!!!! Don’t get me started on the series of circles urban planning. Hell I’d rather drive in Atlanta.
I told my alma matter, which is a defendant in the price-fixing lawsuit btw, that I reserve my ducats for abortion funds and food banks. Lose my number you glorified hedge fund!
Right…so you’re saying you couldn’t even make it to Nationals…mmkay.
But…but….did you get them in the back row on an on aisle? Cause those are the only good seats.
The passage of FOSTA/SESTA did more to aid and abet human trafficking than porn ever will. Trust sex workers to look after their own WITH support from law enforcement.
I told my mother the other day, the bad news is that I will never be able to retire. The good news is that I will always have work because I can both read and write as well as talk to clients in person and on the phone.
Not Charles Entertainment Cheese in the pokey? What is this world coming to?
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
Well I am now!
So glad he was able to get sober and keep on keeping on. I loved when he used to pop up on NCIS Nola.
If nothing else Tom, you’re providing a hell of a block list. Thank you for your service. 🫡
He can keep quoting Biggie, but he ain’t got nothin on Mr. Cardamom!
I smell a workhouse!
My first takeaway from Apocalypse In The Tropics is that fascism is easy. In a crisis the simpleminded and the shortsighted want quick and easy answers.
Don’t threaten me with a good time. Damaged, aged fuckbois are my kryptonite.
The Prestige may still be the best thing he ever made. 20 years ago.
For the first time in my memory there was a group of unhoused folks sharing a tent across the campground from us at the state park last month. It was sad, but I’m glad low cost state parks exist so folks can stay…somewhere.
But are emojis pictographs? I’d argue many are actually ideographs. For example these two emojis are based on memes and are not illustrations of a specific facial expression or emotion: 🫡🙂↕️
lol…you are unfamiliar with our usual Repub candidate I see…he likes cats…and I mean really likes cats. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...
Let me tell you about this awesome new work-life balance technology at Lumon Industries called Severance. How would you like to never remember your work day ever again?
I had a moment of true existential terror when I realized that a young lecturer (whose career I was supposed to aspire to) in my MA program was simply a pendant who memorized well and she and the PROGRAM had confused that skill with brilliance. So wait…the “experts” are also dumb?
Uh yes please! To all of it!
The sad part is in the before-fore times…we kinda did? 🤷🏼♂️
😘😉
I’m going to go ahead and back away. I was trying to make a point, perhaps poorly, about the poison of cynicism. Have a great night!
I’m not disputing that. People are people. Greed is seductive. But my question still stands. Why be here if you think this platform is as bad as the others?
Why are we here then, if we didn’t think it would be different?
I take it you haven’t read up on BSky’s founding principles and structure?
Hey hey! You got your Joshua Neale in my Pastor Solomon!
Where do you think I learned the deep lore? 😉
Since clownshoes and I took the SAT the format has changed drastically at least 4 times and now is shorter than ever and fully digital…all due to market share. ACT was eating the College Board’s lunch, so they modified their PRODUCT. The only thing the SAT ever measured is how well you take a test.
I can’t help myself…this is who is looking back I think. 🤣 on
Let’s flip the script and compare this situation to the last mayoral election in NYC. Plenty of Democrats in the city voted against their own interests by electing a cop. So when Adams hired more cops to harass and over police these communities…did they deserve it?
For sure and a great way to reach the Dominican community.
He went on the Kid Mero’s Victory Light podcast too and ran around the Bronx with him. His media team knows what they’re doing.
I just….my brain keeps bouncing off all the ways this is terrible…fuck!
The exit signs tell me he is in a resort?
This is why I keep my old, arthritic, heat-stroke-prone ass in the house today. The heat AND the standing? Mama those days are behind me.
I admitted to confusing him with Engles. Marx’s ideas about capitalism are very compelling but he was by no means a trained historian or anthropologist. He was writing from a remove of his own making and was operating mostly on vibes. His recommendations for a return to handcraft were untenable.
He inherited a serious chunk on his mother’s death and his wife came from money. He also mooched off Engles. I don’t think my point is off the mark.
It’s a section of Das Kapital I teach in my design history class because his misguided ideas about the necessity of a return to handcraft was so influential on William Morris and John Ruskin. I’m very wary of elites formulating solutions for the working poor without a deep understanding of that life
I may be…not gonna lie. However, he was bourgeoise writing about the realities of the proletariat he had very little contact with. Just look at the way he wrote about women. He seemed to think the factory system was the catalyst for women working. Sure your mom didn’t work as a tenant farmer Karl…
I’m all for grimdark, but damn if an Agatha Christie or a Brother Cadfael don’t hit the spot sometimes. Don’t sleep on the Jane Austen Mysteries either.
Bold of you to assume my chronic depression allows me to remember high school 🤣
Babe…quiet as it’s kept Marx was independently wealthy and never worked a day in his life. His economic philosophy is foundational, but it was largely just based on vibes.
My God the post-election rhetoric skates right past the blaring sexism to…Biden is old and we ignored the bros. I….
Let’s never ever forget the giant misogynist elephant in the room. Seriously.
No…no we’re not. Otherwise Lander, a Jew, would not have cross-endorsed. I actually live here. He’s a problem for Zionists, not the Jewish community.
Oh no! This is being sent to r/discworld with the quickness!
As a childless by choice single NYer, I am already happily paying some of the highest income taxes in the country for things like free breakfast, lunch and afterschool snack for all NYC public school kids all year round and free Universal Pre-K…don’t threaten me with a good time.
🌶️ out at 17th? Let me go ahead and 🤜close F1TV 🤛and take a walk.
3-5 business days in house by myself if I stock up right.
Facts. I deal with the miserable assholes on the regular to pay my bills.
I came for the Goggins. If he wasn’t it, I would not have stuck it out. Got a bonus Aimee Lou Woods. Otherwise it was pompous and frankly masturbatory. 5/10 would not reccomend. Periodt.
At least Billie Eyelash’s first big album was truly weird. “You should see me in a crown,” is peak goth shit.
