My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.

“For more than thirty years, when New Yorkers needed a champion, we have turned to Jerry Nadler—and he has delivered for us time and again. Jerry stood alongside gay and trans Americans when it was politically unpopular, voted with courage—not calculus—against the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, stood steadfast alongside the first responders and families sickened after 9/11, and led efforts to hold a lawless Trump administration accountable. Few leaders possess his record of principled progressivism, and fewer can claim to have made such an enduring impact on the fabric of our city. Congress will be worse off without his leadership, but our democracy will be better for the selflessness that has defined a legendary career.”

I just checked. Rachel Brosnahan was born in 1990, and David Corenswet was born in '93, which means it follows the rule: Every good Superman and Lois pairing involves Clark being the younger actor. That holds for Reeves, the Snyderverse, and Teri Hatcher (who carried her show with that Cain guy).

How City Budgets Work Read more cartoons! #PoliCartoon Help us make more! patreon.com/barry

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. Each panel shows a different scene. PANEL 1 A woman talking on the phone, looking a little panicked. Beside her, a wide-eyed child watches, looking very worried. Above them both is a large caption. CAPTION: HOW CITY BUDGETS WORK WOMAN: A six year waiting list? But we’re homeless now! PANEL 2 In a classroom crowded with kids, a worried teacher is talking to a middle-aged bureaucrat type in a suit and tie. WOMAN: But we can’t fit another 30 chairs into this classroom! MAN: Kids can stand. PANEL 3 We are looking through a doorway at a man with slightly shaggy hair, who sits unhappily at a cheap table in an otherwise empty room. Outside the room, leaning back as if he’s just calling something into the room while rushing past, a man wearing glasses and a jacket and tie, talks to the shaggy-haired man. RUSHING MAN: Hi! I’m your public defender. Unfortunately, I’ve been assigned so many defendants that introducing myself is all the time I have for your case this month. RUSHING MAN: See you at your trial! PANEL 4 A group of cops is dances widly. It’s a celebration. Green cash is filling the air, raining down on them. COPS (said by several in unison): MONEY DANCE!

The problem isn't the ambitious ones, it's the seat-warmers in charge.

Yup. Free speech protects fascist lies that got Trump elected but not truthful dissent now that he's in power.

Decades since and I still remember the great bit where he's about to get beaten by a mook and he's like "not in the eyes please, they're my pride and joy" and the guy kindly obliges him by punching him hard in the gut.

Holy crap I hadn't seen it since I was a teen and it was a new movie I had no idea it was Feinnes and Bassett. What a cast. Damn it now I'm upset about Feinnes falling in with JKR in terfdom again.

I'm gonna say it: I'll never forgive Disney/Pixar for introducing their first gay major characters in such weak-ass movies. "When you dedicate the game to someone you're supposed to go out and win it, idiot".

I keep wishing pornhub would branch out and spin up a non-porn product. Occasionally there are articles from the technical side of the business on Hacker News and their operation sounds pretty sophisticated - and they've had to clean house and grow up after scandals. And they're not Americans.

Maybe this was mean but they been working on those legs for weeks, I thought it was time for a little poetry. #wplace

Wplace.live, North Dundas. Two gray incomplete legs, with excerpts from the Ozymandias poem about trunkless legs are written next to them in tiny pixelated text.
