When the US gets on its high horse about China’s civil rights violations without recognizing the laundry list of its own.

The NYC mayor needs to see to it that retractable ballasts are implemented at all Prospect Park entrances to ensure cars can’t drive in it. Illegal driving in the park is getting out of control, the NYPD is proving itself useless once more, and someone is going to get killed.

Hey NYC pedestrians, stop giving cars the right of way when you are the one with the right of way. Your “politeness” is reinforcing drivers’ entitlement and perpetuating an eternal problem.

The spectacles of modern-day gender reveals, showers, engagements, and even birthdays and weddings are beyond comprehension for me. They celebrate nothing more than one’s self-importance and privilege. (Also def never ever been to a gender reveal.)

Does anyone know the Fort Greene cross streets for Spike Lee’s block party? I’m too hungover to wander around looking for it in this heat.

The Hacks finale was terrible. I was expecting Hacks to go out on a limb to preach normalizing the right to die. Ava would absolutely have supported it. And the agency takeover via blackmail was so eyerolly. That said, the last two seasons were significantly worse than the first three, so I wasn’t expecting much. So maybe my disappointment was tempered knowing that.

If I have to leave my bicycle outside, you should have to leave your stroller outside.
