Love me a good statistical joke.
People keep talking about how this is unprecedented, but on average, American presidents are indicted 1.54 times per president.
Dear NYC drivers, If I stop at a green light and signal a turn, you getting within a foot of me, honking, and calling me names will not get you where you're going any faster. Especially when you have room to go around me. Fuck off. Love, a cyclist
DS9 episode summary: "Three Klingons arrive in the station that Curzon Dax took a Klingon blood oath with after their young sons were murdered." Linguist twitter, help me explain the syntactic constraints that make this so bad?
Success! Thanks, y'all.

Thinking a lot today about Kitty Genovese, a lesbian from Brooklyn, whose brutal and senseless murder by a stranger was twisted and exploited to push a racist, anti-urbanist, and factually-incorrect narrative that has shaped the last 50+ years of American history. ❤️🧡🤍💜
