Really enlightening that the right's idea of "free speech" is forcing wage laborers to say something stupid at work. (their premise: the right to say something as a consumer supersedes the right to not say something as a worker)
failed (party monster 2, policy vivant, lyrical caricaturist, gallery laborer), dormant (event curator, bitmonger), current (beverage slinger, faith no more enjoyer)

Brown for sure, combination of Mediterranean, North African, Ethiopian is killer. So many forms of social cuisine too

I wrote about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.— www.unpopularfront.news/p/reflection...
Lil B's superpower was creating dozens of songs, each of which had odds of burrowing itself into a different listener's consciousness. I listened to Im Burning daily for probably a year
Jack Johnson guided me to benching a plate, highly recommended
Respect, but also the feeling of three emoji reacts on a nice discord riff hits harder than a tweet popping off. Feels more like laughing with friends
It's actually worse, because this time most of the perpetrators of political violence don't even have a coherent ideology
out of curoisity: why do you even do a site like this instead of discord
Thought experiment: If movie theaters charged per minute, what would be the average length of a film? I think 70 minutes
The better question is which completely witless conservative they'll bring on to revive Andy Rooney's act
Respectfully, is there any difference between this and giving Mayor Pete a cabinet seat he was unqualified for in exchange for dropping out?
They're welcome to quit or intentionally self-sabotage at any time
I was agreeing with you, but frankly cannot remember why I felt the need to post as such, as it was needless
A great insight I've made in my current line of work (service) is that mechanical movement is intimately tied to cognitive memory. Robbing ourselves of actually typing/writing means we won't remember
It's so sick to take a gorgeous modern subway and 10 minutes later i'm at an airport straight out of 1950
detailed =/= thoughtful
"83.3% of LLM users were unable to quote even one sentence from the essay they had just written"
Realizing that my reading is premised on believing in climate catastrophe but not in a god, which puts me in a distinct minority
I thought he was too afraid to act out his inclinations bc he was trapped in ambiguity
I am building a penthouse above Union Pool
Folsom? How were the whippets in 72?
I'm a fan of Mister Zohran, but Lander would've washed Cuomo too
ban the internet, it's time. the only thing to exist is html and ascii geocities websites. we will be happier, and our websites will be beautifully bauhausian

I am a pathological empath, listening so intently my ears bleed and my limbic system swells
There's already been an alternative ecosystem of consultants who work on insurgent campaigns only
NYC, Aspen, Paris, New Orleans, Athens
I have somehow never heard of this joint 😳
gonna guess gabriela
In 2026, that is not at all an issue, given thermostatic public opinion
Never been there so I can't relate, but hopefully you can save enough to find something chiller soon
I haven't seen anything interesting using AI in an NYC context. Was yawning through some bitforms shows, honestly
Why does Tim Apple have the cadence and movement style of a Muppet on Ozempic
A lot of drivers don't realize when they're being entitled and will change their behavior if shown an alternative
Today in cycling activism: a taxi driver parked in the bike lane when there was an open spot ten feet away (that didn't even require him to parallel park). I stopped, literally pointed at the spot, said "that's the spot. park there" and he apologetically parked there
Mf looks like a Reno 911 guest star
If a male NYC 6 with normie lib politics moved to Indianapolis suburbs, he would clean up every Orange Theory by the end of the summer
Underrated how much Dems could gain with voters by getting rid of AI, as energy prices would immediately drop a ton. The only people who disagree are schoolkids cheating on homework! They can't vote! Who cares! They can write a paragraph for once!
why can't you
this platform needs more bits, observational comedy, nuclear takes (non-political). the reply guys need better bits and less opinions
If you tell Trump it means he gets to build a bigger congress building, he could be convinced
dream system
It's on Biden for appointing him. All the MSNBC crowd was cheering the appointment for being some sort of 'classy troll' since he was rejected for Supreme Court. But it was obvious that he'd be useless
Also, even if they took the seats in a wave election midterm, Dems would ALREADY have a huge majority, and then they'd just lose all the seats 2 years later. It would be functionally meaningless!
Looks like a headshot from a straight to VHS 90s neo noir
I have a PhD in giving good brain
The only way I can see it working would be as an amenity offering in luxury buildings or benefit for WFH employees at prestige companies. Otherwise the scale's too small
Going to shout out don fulano (subtle waves of fruit, spices, soil, all estate grown) and mi casa blanco (smooth textured liquid aloe) as exceptional tequilas for under $50, as well as sotol la higuera for something vegetal and stranger.
south denver suburbs had wings, pizza, and depending on the part of town, chinese food
@bennet.senate.gov @senatorhick.govpeeps.us where are you on this?
Feels like the pencil factory closing is a hinge point event in Greenpoint as a neighborhood, end of an era type thing
There are small newsletters that are pretty comprehensive, they're just not as centralized and public as they used to be
I feel like this sort of thing will first pop up in controlled communities like campuses and shared living facilities for boomers
Every few years a startup tries this and folds. The problem is burrito delivery customers are inherently people who don't plan ahead and are wedded to convenience, they'll take a higher cost to get their burrito the second they're hungry
onions and peppers are both like virtually free at cash fruit stands and add so much flavor
It would be so lit if like Daniel Libeskind architected a gas station. Frank Gehry strip mall. Tadao Ando bus stop.
Couldn't building codes fix that part?
Thankful for RZAs leadership in cutting the posse track and keeping Young Cardamom on message
Also he does this while resisting his biggest weakness (failed blograp career)
I don't think this is fair to poptimism, which arose from past music critic's reflexive dismissal of pop music. The subcultures (frankly more on the internet) focusing on ticket sales and streaming numbers are a separate situation that I've never seen in music criticism

A Chuck E. Cheese employee in full costume was arrested by Tallahassee officers for credit card fraud www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...
He needs a Dipset endorsement
WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽
JADAKISS? STYLES P??? El P? Looks at RZA as a genius on his own terms, without the rosy dorm room glasses? Doesn't even spit a Mr Cardamom freestyle? Perfection
Mexican Firing Squad riff?
At age 80 the eye closes
Fair point! I just wonder how possible it is to maintain equity concerns while keeping bills universally low
Pretty sure Perlstein makes a related argument in Reaganland

Would a progressive rate structure ruin this situation? Seems easy to make electricity cheap without subsidizing waste
Realizing from today's discourse that my most radical and unpopular opinion is that people should move where they want and they should be welcomed anywhere. It's wild to me how intense nativism gets at the neighborhood level.
If I ever move back to south suburban Denver, would be happy to contribute to such a paper (as someone who loves talking about cocktails and random charity groups). The tough thing is they'd need an endowment or something, otherwise it's so unstable, which makes it hard to maintain talent.
Annie Baker's work has slowly gotten less naturalistic for this reason
I have not "mellowed with age." I've mastered being annoying with surgical precision
A lot of people think aesthetic critiques of Wal-Mart are an economic critique, when in fact their ugly aesthetic is just an externality of being terrifyingly economically efficient
Hanif's pull quote on this is 100% correct (he definitely only got vibes-based low-attachment MAGA types), but I think it's a great compliment to his campaign to persuade so effectively
It's crazy that he's the exact sort of driver any pedestrian would curse at after a near-miss, and that some of the same people would consider voting for him!
Are LLMs simply latent indicators of the premises and ideas subconsciously undergirding our society?
Yeah it’s time to bring back my all time favorite tweet, by @donaldhughes.ca
You’re paying the price for eating mids chips
Incredible workaround to a utopian UBI
She should’ve known when he pumped in tune with Viva La Vida
I think it’s cool that they made a director’s cut and got a big name like Bryan singer for the job
No one gets to hear about my hiroshi teshigahara meets wayans bros remake then…..ok…..
When you cook some fire but your partner won’t let you post it <<<<
Getting thrown out of fire island for pitching my series about Denis Leary running the Pines Fire Department
ICE Attorney: i’m shy and INTJ 0__o,soooo call meh teh anon pengu1n of d00m, esquire. also dis grad student tweeted “Ceasefire now!” Immigration Judge: Your cannon to shoot them to South Sudan is approved, pengu1n. ICE Attorney: yayyyyyy <(^___^)<
Haters say every city is Denver now. This is wrong. Every city is RiNo. Mickey Zeppelin is accidentally the Baron Haussmann of the 2020s
This is disproven by the amount of rich couples I've served who love Replacements. Replacements is a rare rich🤝broke solidarity band. It's the band whose biggest fans are equally Walter Berglund and Richard Katz
Hitting 50% is key for his success. 50 is such an incontrovertible mandate that he can punish the centrists who are trying to stop him
Zohran's gotta draw a line in the sand where people can either join him or there'll be consequences later. Like if a union won't get behind him, good luck next contract. There should be a challenger to Goldman ready to max small donations
This is a lovely story about one of my favorite places in NYC and the man who took care of it for decades. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/a...
Get the agedashi hot dog i will take it over any midwestern hot dog in a day
I also used it to burn my arm sometimes when feeling angsty
In celebration of NYC finally banning broker fees, I wanted to reiterate some points I made on the old site a few years ago.
Do you think Progressive Flo was on Luigi's list
Chinese electric car maker BYD is now introducing charging that's about as fast as fueling: 250 miles of range in 5 minutes of charging. This technology is, in essence, banned from the US, and US automakers are pulling back from their electric vehicle investments.
