Every year in the 2020s so far has been a new record-setting year for people very publicly losing their mind through social media filter bubbles.

“I’m walking here, who cares if I’m direct it gets the job done fast, time is money, being a connoisseur is important, so what if I party too hard as long as it’s only sometimes, any color and culture is fine as long as you work hard and make money”.
NYC, for better or worse, is culturally Dutch.

“Meta Makes a Digital Humbert* Thursday”. *and it sent a mentally disabled teen to a made up NYC address, en route to which he disappeared.
Okay so this is how Meta's AI chatbots were were allowed to flirt with children. This was what Meta thought was was "acceptable." . Great reporting from @JeffHorwitz

Just a great ongoing example of how bad our established political class is at negotiating this era. There hasn’t been really any movement for Eric Adams in the 5.5 weeks since Paterson’s last announcement.
NEW: Former New York governor David Paterson set to endorse Eric Adams for mayor tomorrow. Paterson, had previously supported Andrew Cuomo and backed an idea to see who the strongest candidate would be in September to go up against Zohran Mamdani. @pix11news.

I would say this 1998 Miramax film plus ESPN adopting pinhole cameras launched a poker craze that lasted over a decade.
Rounders is one of the most Miramax core movies: original screenplay, famous/up and coming leads, actual on location shooting, amazing supporting actors, Gretchen Mol, conflict between creators and Harvey Weinstein.

When Yglesias meets Sarah Taberism.
I don’t really understand this data either but I was looking it up and that’s what the Agriculture Department says. Best guess: The typical “farmer” is a person with a high-paying job who lives in a rural area and does a small amount of farming on his land for tax purposes.

What do Guardian Angels founder (and Republican mayoral nominee) Curtis Sliwa and Bustle Digital founder (and Gawker 2.0 owner) Bryan Goldberg have in common?. Surprising deep-seated fandom for “terrible DJ duo” The Chainsmokers.
