I sincerely thought the Jalen Brunson rigatoni was a shitpost but as it turns out it is a real dish that they sell at a restaurant in Williamsburg
I will be investigating

The New Yorker exposé of the Tate brothers is long but essential reading. These men are cartoonishly evil; if a novelist invented them, it would feel like hack writing. I'm going to share a paywall-free link in the next tweet, because as many people as possible need to read this.

this is truly horrifying.

For the past 9 months, I've been investigating Andrew Tate's empire of sexual exploitation — drawing on thousands of private messages and sealed court files, as well as interviews with the Tates, their associates & more than a dozen alleged victims. Here's what I found: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

A friend of mine a couple years ago was complaining that his fiancé stopped sleeping with him recently. We're all asking him "what did you do??" And he said he hasn't done anything, which obviously none of us believe. Then we go to his house to play some card games one night, and I get kinda thirsty so I walk to the kitchen to grab a drink from the fridge.

Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."

“The true measure of wealth in life is the people you love and your friends.”
Sen. @MittRomney told Harvard Business School graduates, Wednesday, to prioritize people over careers and focus on success at home.

every day i see children doing and saying things i'd have never dared *dream* of ... it's truly sad.
I'm astounded by the number of young parents who let their children talk back to them, speak rudely to them, or outright insult them. And in public, too.
Y'all, teach your children some manners.

So the legacy of DOGE so far:
1) driving 1000s of experienced gov't workers out of needed roles & in many cases having to rehire them, wasting rather than saving federal funds,
2) triggering a recession in the nation's capitol, & now
3) slowing int'l response to an EBOLA EPIDEMIC

he's real for this one
Mamdani: I’m feeling incredible about the Knicks. I have to give a shoutout to my friend because the only reason I could watch Game 1 is because he had YouTube TV and he gave me his login. A lot of people ask, “What’s democratic socialism?” Sharing YouTube TV with your boys.

Indeed... we should be asking Jeff Bezos to pay more instead.

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.
He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

La llamada «liberación sexual» trajo más relaciones y más diversas. Se las ha querido reducir a mero juego, pero @ChristineEmba sostiene que «el sexo debería ser significativo» en su obra «Rethinking sex. A provocation».
