Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Second rate reporter says what?

“woke” is the new caravan.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

He really is that stupid.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Usually wrong but never in doubt

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Everybody saw this coming.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“But what about the lurkers?”

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

    I love these, especially that dog face with the pipers.

    These photos sure make me feel like midwestern hick. All those spike heels.

    The color of that first woman’s boots gives me life…the heels on the other hand, would be the death of me!

    Couldn’t help but feel old when in Times Square a week or so ago, comfortably seated and enjoying a small après matinee see-gar, after noticing the Naked Cowboy has developed varicose veins.

    That ol’ tempus sure do fugit.

    Oh, and Times Square has now surpassed any even inflated quota of electronic billboards. Sensory overload maximus.

    My first boyfriend, who was from Brooklyn, was fond of pointing out small
    groups of women dressed similarly. He would look at the pair in the third picture, with their short black skirts and high black heels and say, “Friends dress alike.”

    I see them examples of this theory often, especially at my local mall and yes, when visiting my ancestral home, NYC.

    Did take a train into the new LIRR Madison complex way, way beneath Grand Central, wanting to experience those Everest-like escalators.

    Very bright, very pretty, very clean and very, very sterile. A walk the length of multiple blocks (like 5 or 6 in my case) underground to get to the subway, with not a single bench nor seat in any of the long marbled corridors. Not a recommended hike for the ambulatory challenged.

    Nice. Unrelated, but I was reminded by this:

    I am super uncomfortable taking pictures/filming people,

    A friend visiting the United Arab Emirates discovered that taking pictures of people without permission, even in public settings, is against the letter of the law. I had no idea.

    Privacy is a huge matter in the UAE, and taking pictures of people without permission is illegal. Article 378 of the UAE Penal Code (Federal Law No. 3 of 1987) states that taking a person’s photo without his/her consent is an invasion of privacy, and thus punishable by law.

    Likewise, Article 21 of the UAE Cyber Crime Law (Federal Law No. 5 of 2012) clearly states that anyone who is “using a visual device to invade the privacy of a third party by capturing their picture or transferring, copying, or keeping those pictures is a crime punishable by at least six months imprisonment and a fine of up to AED 500,000.”

    @ema: though it is legal to take pictures of people in public places, we were always taught in photography school to get written releases if there was any chance of publication of recognizable people, just to avoid a lawsuit for invasion of privacy. Yes, you might prevail in court because technically you’re not breaking the law, but smart folks avoid even the chance. Easier just to avoid faces that might be recognized.

    Count me in on the I love those green boots team.

    It’s like when I watched the movie jumping Jack flash and Whoopie got to wear all these cool high top, yellow and bright red and tennies and I wondered why the hell regular people can’t buy those.

    For some reason, I’m only seeing one photo, the rest are blank in Safari. Guess I’ll have to switch to my phone, which uses Chrome.

    @satby:

    Hmm, not sure if it makes a difference but none of these are pictures. They’re screenshots from my YT videos. The channel was recently reviewed by YT (for monetization), and it was approved. Maybe, since their their legal department OK’d them, they’re OK?  I’ll have to look into this a bit more.

    Also, you just gave me a great idea for my next NYC People series. Thank you!
