New York baybeeeeee

ah what will democrats do now that the future of the party has been indicted

which crystals do we think Eric Adams will use in his defense

first they came for Eric Adams, and I didn't speak out— because seriously, fuck that guy

City of Yes the Mayor Was Indicted

Maybe the leprechaun is gonna cook HIM

god i love it when all my NYC friends are happy on the internet at the same time

this is the problem with trying to harness the power of the chaos emeralds. it’s just too much for normal men. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/09...

once again eric adams is under assault for his beliefs

"You have no power over...A NEW JERSEY RESIDENT!" Eric Adams cackles before throwing a tennis ball, mistakenly thinking it is a smoke bomb.

lol Eric Adams is absolutely going to try and escape in a hot air balloon

Everyone take to the steeets tonight and put the outdoor dining structures back up.

I’m sure you’ve all said this by now but cop mayor being indicted as a alleged criminal is, in fact, very funny

My favorite Eric Adams story is this one where Curbed tried to prove he actually lived in NYC by staking out his house for a week. He came home twice and parked in front of a garage. When he left, there was traffic, so he just drove in the middle of the sidewalk. www.curbed.com/2021/11/eric...

It’s amazing how every single New Yorker has known 100% Eric Adams is guilty since the day he took office but somehow not sure of which crimes

would I be a good mayor? hell no. but I promise New Yorkers: a) all bribe offers rejected b) will reside within city limits c) will ride the subway to and from work d) will not shake down local businesses e) crackdown on illegal parking f) streeteries, libraries, pre-K: good g) lets go mets baby

oh and also: h) bike and bus lanes galore i) subterranean garbage collection j) upzone everywhere k) social housing/NYCHA bailout l) bury the cross-Bronx expressway m) extend the N train to La Guardia o) probably some more stuff

::laughing uncontrollably::

If we're all going to dunk on Nate Silver, I get to brag about the timestamp here

Congratulations, Katie, Greg, and Gwynne for the scoop! NYT does not have this yet.

‘a sad crime’ = an anagram of ‘eric adams’

Check on your New Yorker friends this evening. We’re doing fantastic. We are actually having a ball and everything is great

The Devil moves fast but Brooklyn residents with sidewalk chalk move faster

what the hell is a milkshake IPA… someone please stop white men

people watching at the farmer’s market is fun especially seeing introverted guys who got tricked into leaving the house and now got separated from their partners in the crowd and are panicking it’s quite cute

one fun feature about living in Oakland is that if you take a walk around the lake at sundown you’ll awkwardly pass by at least four people you’ve matched with on an app but never actually talked to. 5x more likely if they are in a polycule and say they want to retire out to a farm

also can we recognize that everyone of all genders is getting gayer and gayer boyfriends, it really brings a tear to my eye

on my way out of a queer bar/restaurant i overheard a breakup in the waiting area and through her tears the one who i think was the breakupee was like “can we still eat dinner tho” and she is so real for that

They picked Haitians bc Haitians represent racists' deepest fear: a race war they lost. Enslaved Black Americans could & did terrorize slaveowners -- deservedly -- but Haiti was their nightmare scenario. Uppity Blacks! Who became a power! And would've kept going but for US & European dirty dealing!

i’m having a good dose of rum and bomb ass flan that’s why i’m posting so much i’ll disappear once this hits my digestive system

if you want to know the joys of surviving games journalism, every once in a while i’m on a date with a guy who keeps up with games media and gets blindsided by the knowledge i’ve had dinner with their favorite writer and know he travels with his own personal set of plastic cutlery when he eats out

there is something to be said about how games has been billed as the hot new technological art of the 21st century that will carry art schools on their back (indeed, they do) while glossing over the long silent scream of the people inside the industry over the past decade

now imagine what it’s like being a games educator encountering a generation sold the idea of having good stable job in video games which is painted as thinking about gaming all day. i’m considering linking this article in all my syllabi

i’ve gotten to the stage of life where i don’t really have dinner anymore, just fancy snacks that somehow still cost me more than $40

i don’t know what bothers me more, this cafe playing an extended version of the opening theme song from The Young and The Restless, or the fact that the opening theme song from The Young and The Restless is apparently encoded into my subconscious thanks to my mother

a guy sitting near me at the bar got to talk to me by offering me to share donuts. maybe nature is healing. i mean yeah he got my number they were good donuts

to the now dozen emails i received this month from people i’ve never heard of asking me to comment on GG, i submit this as my response

am I jaded from being on the internet in the 00s or is it true that anything billed as a free webinar just reeks of being a scam?

reflecting on being an accidental content creator and the way ‘truth’ was manufactured through the various interworkings of popular folk on Twitter. It’s why when there’s an exposé you get folks who lead the conversation because they knew the vibe was off but didn’t have more than that until now

i appreciate this as a former blogger associated with journalism, where things i said on Twitter was considered news by followers. i never lied about events however a good 50% of my tweets were vague gossip while on a mood altering substance or being malnourished to the point of hallucination

first year done at my new job and finally returning to the land of the living

does anyone else have that one song from Challengers play in their head whenever they make eye contact with men or is that just me
