Virtue signalling substitutes applause for action. By turning conviction into costume, it cheapens the cause, alienates the unconvinced, and leaves the real work to those too busy doing it to pose for the cameras.

Know what sucks? Bullshit charges, like cancellation fees (when the driver never showed) & "wait fees" (when the driver was in the wrong place) that @Uber @bolt etc charge, but then immediately refund - BUT you have to ask them to. Just don't charge it in the first place, ffs!

I think all men reach an age where all they want to do is rewatch Heat over and over again.

New level of epic fuck-upery by @Schiphol : plane landed at 10am, its now 1215pm, and still not all the bags have been brought from the plane to the belt. I used to moan when it took 45mins from wheels-down to checked-bag-in-hand...

@d_tao It is most definitely in the "marry" sector of the modern-day "K/M/F" dilemma.

Always raises a smile when I order sushi on Seamless and get the notification "Your order is on its way! Light a clear path and keep animals restrained", as if its midnight and I live in Jurassic Park, instead of lunchtime on the Upper East Side.

People who become consumed by a cause often start to define themselves primarily by what they hate. When that happens, nuance disappears and extreme behavior becomes easier to justify.

[Philip Duff @philipduff]

Happy #WorldGinDay ! From 4-7pm, come by The Ivory Peacock on W 26th St & 6th Av to taste dozens of gins, which you can then drink in unlimited numbers of martinis, French 75s, negronis and G&Ts, plus a substantial amount of food. DM me for a free ticket, and I'll see you there!

Free speech is a legal right. It is also part of a larger inheritance, protected by people who paid costs most of us can barely imagine.

On Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their lives in service to that inheritance.

They did not die so Americans would fall into a dreary consensus on all things.

They died helping preserve a country where disagreement is possible without bloodshed, where dissent is not treason, and where citizens can argue, worship, protest, publish, persuade, offend, forgive, and begin again.

That is not a small thing. It’s the inheritance we are obliged to protect.

Ocean Spray is hoping to “breathe new life” into the classic vodka-based cocktail, which usually includes cranberry juice https://t.co/ytxet3bWIF

@d_tao Scorching hot take bro.

[Philip Duff @philipduff]

@WestBromEL Correct! So a £7.61 London pint (568ml) *should* cost $8.56 in NY, where it's a 473ml "pint". $8.50 would def be a bargain in NYC....

[Philip Duff @philipduff]

Question for bar owners: why is the most expensive pint of Guinness in the UK (in London) a mere £7.61, which is only $10.28? A $10 pint of Guinness here in NY is verging on "bargain" territory... *Per the Guinndex, obvs: https://t.co/DqvTgTtt1f
