For all the anger at the pitiful Democratic leadership, rank and file Democrats seem to be demonstrating that they are actually in charge of the party and will set its direction. That is a good thing. The GOP belongs to one man; the future of the Democrats is up to every Democrat.

you've got to click around on this map, and the graphics here ... it's astounding. @haidee.bsky.social did such a great job with this:

The results by electoral district (from the city.nyc) on the left; by zip code (from the NYTimes) on the right.

the thing about baseball is it simultaneously goes on forever and ends too soon

@nymag.com Just a note to a guy who thinks you’re not American if your grandparents were immigrants: You’re not Catholic if you don’t feel crushing guilt for every little thing you have done (or have failed to). Also Catholics don’t go “to church.” They go to Mass. www.thecut.com/article/jd-v...

99 days until pitchers and catchers report to kick off spring training.

We always cancel a few streaming services during baseball season (162 #Mets games take up most of our couch time). But we just re-upped hbo and now we’re mainlining The Pitt, and friends, we’re only at hour nine and I am exhausted.

In my head the average Blue Jays fan is represented by the dad from Kim’s Convenience and that’s another reason why I’m rooting for them.

As an aside: #Mets announcer Gary Cohen is the model for taking time to learn how to say people’s names correctly. It is not just a nice thing to do — it’s a requirement for folks who communicate for a living. Why Can’t People Say Zohran Mamdani’s Name Correctly? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Wait now sliwa wants people to volunteer to clean subway stations

Can I just vote for @errollouis.bsky.social instead?

Poor Sliwa really thought that “ lock up the toothpaste” line was gonna be a zinger.

Got my new QPL card today and I’m getting my Covid and flu shots this afternoon and these should not feel like acts of resistance but somehow they do.

Happy Banned Books Week to everyone but especially to the good people of #TheWorldsBorough and the Queens Public Library @qplnyc.bsky.social

I’m officially rooting for the Blue Jays because America doesn’t deserve nice things right now.

Summer is just around the corner. Trust me!!!! And the Parks Department is starting lifeguard recruitment even earlier than ever with a kickoff event at the Washington Square Park arch

It’s hit-the-books season baby

The people in these Celsius ads are clearly on cocaine. #lgm #Mets

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

Grosz's 1928 painting "The Agitator," which depicts a demagogue riling up a crowd with all the means at his disposal, seems pretty resonant of late www.stedelijk.nl/en/collectio...

“Be the escalator” should be the rallying cry for a general strike

Wow what a totally expected and foreseeable result of deporting tons of workers and raising prices on everything through punitive and arbitrary tariffs.

The library medical section is sorely underused.

But does Tylenol PM cause Night Autism?

The night is still young… there’s a chance that the Reds get raptured and we snag that last wildcard spot. #LGM

Started a really good book yesterday and I’m having one of those days where I can’t focus on work cause all I can do is think about the book that I wanna read and not the book that I’m supposed to be editing.

Maybe infinite content was a bad idea.

One of my clients has started recording all of our meetings and I assume they’re being fed into the company’s AI… and for the record: if their llm starts speaking uncomfortable truths about schedules in a thick Queens accent I am going to sue.

The dog is less amused

Lifelong dog person, just adopted a cat and I finally understand what you’ve all been laughing about all this time

That’s two in a row! #LGM #Mets

Maybe we will luck out and get a sudden rainstorm. #mets

No words.

G , K, R are clearly not @tmbg.bsky.social fans because if they were they would have known immediately that James K Polk was president in 1846. #mets

My Dad: 2000 years of religious, institutional and societal homophobia VS that one young gay fella who just started his apprenticeship on the shop floor? "Ach, live and let live eh? No harm in it" You've just got to meet people.

I almost grabbed tickets for tonight’s game but they always lose when I go, and I didn’t want to jinx the new kid.

So I guess we all have to get parabolic mic tattoos now #mets

Has “the helper” arrived? Are we climbing out of the abyss toward redemption? #mets

If the Mets win this game everyone has dress up as a parabolic mic

Sometimes I get mad about how a vindictive billionaire put Gawker out of buisiness but also sometimes I dream of becoming a vindictive billionaire so I could do the same thing to the NY Post.
