Whether it's Zohran vs Cuomo, Trump, the Department of Labor, or Subway Friend ads. The battle lines of Al in culture and politics are being drawn in realtime. I cover how Meta, Open Al, Trump, Cuomo are all connected and how humanity is fighting back.

An Anti-Zohran PAC just dropped $250k on ads featuring 'New Yorkers' who say they won't vote for Zohran. Except they're all stock models.

Zohran was just endorsed by Carl Heastie, sort of the Nancy Pelosi Hakeem Jeffries of NY state. And despite a bit of history looks like taxing the rich and Zohran policies are on the table?!

iOS 26 is rolling out today which will screen out phone calls and messages. This has a major impact on campaign spam. Way forward is ensuring that alongside asking for donations you ask "Add me to your contracts so I can give you major campaign updates". Here is a GOP example.

i bought this stellar art piece last year at a random vintage store, turns out it might be fit for the @metmuseum.org I dive into the history and auction data 😇

We want a better world for everyone, but billionaires & oligarchs at every turn try to beat workers down and extract even more money from us. They spent millions trying to stop Zohran, name and shame, and organize against them! More to come!

If Zohran K Mamdani is elected I will be saving thousands of dollars each year. I made a small app showing how much you can save under the three main planks. Working people aren’t dumb we want an affordable city for all of us. It’s all of us vs greedy billionaires! ericthor.com/zohran-save

I’m one of the million NYC rent-stabilized tenants. Eric Adams every year has hiked our rent. I made a simple tool showing how much we save under Zohran's rent freeze vs Adams' rent hikes, as well as historical rent trends. ericthor.com/rent-freeze/

Mahmoud Khalil emerges from airport security with his wife Noor and newborn, legal team and Rep. AOC.

Zohran campaign 24/7!!!

Another day at the polls, lot of pro-Zohran energy had a few heartfelt conversations with some senior neighbors, some knew Zohran from years back, others didn’t know about the $8+ mil in Bloomberg ads, others just wanted to talk. All ended up voting for Z right then & there.

The people/companies putting these racist ads in your mailbox are listed on NYCCFB website. Top donor is DoorDash & most recent donor is real estate developer Daniel Brodsky on 6/10. Expect this list to rapidly grow over the coming days. Full List - Name & Shame: www.nyccfb.info/ftmsearch/In...

Mike Bloomberg, the wealthiest man in the city at $104.7 billion net worth has concluded that the clear best choice for him is Cuomo. As one of the city’s millions of stabilized tenants the clear best choice for me is Zohran.

love putting on rain noises while it rains just messes with your brain thinking it's extra rainy

For over a decade I've crafted digital experiences from like luxury publications Wine Spectator to campaign sites that helped underdogs like Zohran win. I build ambitious projects that move people & create legacies. Check out my work and services on my website. ericthor.com

Feels like a Monday!

Ambient jungle mixes, truly the most ideal music to cruise the world wide web.

Proust as a vibe like something you dip into for a 10-30 like sic minimal music just absorb the prose ambiance

Some sketches from the past year that I scanned. I'm not trained nor do I have skills around shape, perspective, proportions, but I'm enjoying sitting sketching and seeing what comes out. I've been developing an expressive style which is pretty neat! Everyone has art in their heart get it out!

HOW ARE THEY ALL DOING BOOK TOURS COME ON!

EMERGENCY ACTION 🚨 8AM Friday 3/14 9 Prospect Park West, near Grand Army Plaza. @schumer.senate.gov needs to hear us: FIGHT BACK OR STEP DOWN.

Done 🫡

Many are discovering Zohran, critically he's part of a growing @demsocialists.bsky.social movement in NY He's been the trenches with these assembly members & senators for years. It's not just mayor it's the whole state that we are going to win & these are some of our many leaders! HYPE!

today feels like one of those disconnect days where all the my friends living with even the fainest political pulse are on full blown red alert and then a divide of people who are business as usual.

lady who runs the coffee shop next door said my skin looks so much nicer and more beautiful 😇

Switched from Chrome after they disabled uBlock Origin with ending manifest v2. Now using Orion. So far so good!

some recent shots out and about

today was such a wonderful drip of spring!

leigh bowery and divine did they like ever collab? was there like overlap between them?

Cline for web development is really next level. Think most models current are good enough for what I need currently. Biggest friction is latency, not sure if it's an issue with the model, maybe the API requests or some interfacing between model and VS Code.

Yesterday out and about in the city.

Similar to birdwatching, there is a moment, for many a gay in their 30s, when they are suddenly and so deeply taken by old Hollywood films.

Westminster Abby this morning / unfold tonight : no photos or videos, guestlist?

there was a canary in coal mine with deepseek3 model being solid but the api much cheaper than other models. sucks that the api is having so many issues right now

doing some fun art club things, not much of a drawer but really into smudging around charcoals and using pencil sharpener to carve lines into the paper and using the eraser to create highlights. got a long way to go with shapes, perspective, and proportion, but got emotion in spades!

london horse meat was really cute, dj great, was a little bright and too colorful, little darker and an earlier start time could better. think the layout makes it a little tough, though feel like a few tweaks could maybe make it the have the sunday afters for everyone vibe that some parties have

Watching old boop toons, fleshing out that 1930s letterboxd archive, this one in particular is charming disturbing innovative. The animators are so unleashed and creative www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSm0...

With Bluesky I think one of the main impacts is people less invested in both Bluesky and Twitter. Just feels very untethered. Also a potential Tiktok ban on the horizon. The service most directly connected to friends family seems to be Instagram which is also annoying.

love that the met essentially has a talleyrand room. like not even in france and we're rocking the two greatest portraits of the guy + a portrait of his wife. clutch portraits def checkout and also recommend the bio on him

Libraries should carry coffee table books or have a service where you can be part of a share program where you swap books with a network of folks.

. @aoc.bsky.social on what got her to join @socialists.nyc: "A lot of people talk about [organizing], but aren't always being about it. This was a community of people who were being about it."
