So did they just change the meaning of "sleet"? Or is calling the last three snowfalls sleet a result of NOAA/weather cuts?

Syria decree grants Kurds new rights, formally recognising Kurdish language https://aje.news/a5ob3i

Congestion relief is making NYC more livable for all. That’s why organizations like @ridersalliance.org, @nylpi.bsky.social, and @streetspac.org fought for years to make it a reality.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

Starting today, Blue States should start issuing Blue Bonds.

Cop “unions” are a repulsive stain on the American labor movement, and it’s truly an embarrassment that so few labor leaders are willing to admit that. www.teenvogue.com/story/what-t...

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

From university colleges to New Towns, ordinary Yanks are finding new ways to health. From sport before a pint at the local, to taking the footway with step access instead of the lift, find out how you can become fit — and fit — in time for the States’ 250-year Jubilee.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

Worth mentioning too that they can have a domain like mayor.nyc.gov and have verified accounts for all future mayors off of that and autoarchiving of all posts! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social this would also be great over here in Seattle.

"Look, I will give you the full balance of my Robinhood account. Money is no object. Unless, of course, that money will be added to a pool of community funds that would then be used to pay for the services I’m currently requesting." #McSweeneysTop25of2025

If @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the new Office of Mass Engagement want to protect our neighbors from ICE and our residents from inequitable price gouging driven by surveillance technologies, supporting bills like this one is essential.

Hakeem Jeffries gives Trump a B+, with minor feedback, for the wildly illegal, unconstitutional, imperial, colonial kidnapping of Maduro and plan for U.S. oil companies to pillage Venezuela.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

"Leprechauns are real, and I'm opening a chain of restaurants that cooks 'em", announces former mayor Adams

damn. I just searched and the piece I wrote for them years ago about domestic violence and Title IX is gone

Has Mamdani already driven out the least-qualified fire chief in the history of New York? This Adams crony owns “one of the largest security and janitorial service companies” in Israel; he was never a firefighter or emergency response official…but he liked chasing fire trucks when he was a kid.

have you considered searching pubmed for the many, many papers published about this? alternatively, you can pay me $100,000 to do it this one time so i can pay my medical bills

Fox News is VERY upset with politicians who make unrealistic promises

This isn't the traditional way recommendations work... mstdn.social/@JesseMeyers...

Eric Adams literally appeared on stage with Louis Farrakhan in the 1990's, and defended the Nation of Islam to then-Mayor David Dinkins, and the ADL did not talk about it this much.

congestion pricing is killing it. traffic in the CRZ is down 11% and revenue is higher than anticipated. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

What kind of animal eats a ninth of a pie???

Scientists just found out that we're all living in the second spot-the-difference picture. That stripey cushion is actually supposed to have dots on it. it's fucked up. They don't know what to do about it.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

i asked chat gpt to fact check an article for me

It's ridiculous for a judge to demand that the city rip out a critical street safety project. 31st Street is one of the most dangerous streets in Queens, and this unprecedented decision puts all our neighbors at risk. We must prioritize the safety of Astoria families over cars.

Social media feeds are full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped, but Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads. Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops helping ICE terrorize our communities. app.sosha.ai/s/T7ngbtyS

PROBLEM: There is too much information and too much noise to be able to determine what is true SOLUTION: We will financialize ideas and use prediction markets as the supreme arbiter of objective reality Douglas Adams would have rejected this for being too bleak and absurd

Hegseth’s name card says “SSECRETARY OF WAR.” (sic) Either more of that egregious White House incompetence or just openly flaunting the whole SS thing now. Or both maybe.

"Strong floor, no ceiling" is very literally the basis of like every Gilded Age political cartoon

Today I’m recommending that NYC’s pension fund boards drop BlackRock and 2 other (out of 49) public markets asset managers due to inadequate decarbonization plans. Climate risk is financial risk – we need asset managers who will invest responsibly.🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Ah, I fucking knew it!

“Why is it saying it’s out of beef? I only need to print chicken!”

people are reading "catch-and-kill" in the journalistic sense but she was probably just finding raccoons for him to eat

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks. This is in front of a Starbucks distribution center - their largest on the East Coast! The unfair labor practices strike is in its 7th day, and these baristas mean BUSINESS. Please support them by not buying Starbucks. #NoContractNoCoffee

It was really almost going to be Supreme Clientele, but this has to be Deltron. Just gotta say the question, as written, precludes Stankonia, despite how good the songs are, the skits and interludes are some of the worst. And Deltron has some of the best, including my first Paul Barman experience

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.
