I am not a crazy ideologue. I just think that the richest society in human history has a moral responsibility to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, treat the sick, and house the homeless. If doing that requires forcing comfortably-housed people to accept neighborhood change, I'm ok with that.

If I can get a little too sincere: Tonight is the first time where I can believe with my whole heart that I can live in the place I love for the rest of my life, and live in the way I want to, and I am jubilant at the possibility. This is what politics is supposed to feel like.

New Yorkers have spoken and voted for change. Congrats Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

I took the pancetta over a touch so the carbonara ended up pretty tan

Sliwa is hard to explain to people outside of NYC because he says shit like gifted and talented tests should be made accessible to more Black and brown kids and you can just hear Brett Kavanaugh fainting somewhere

Basically, the situation is that smart Americans rigged the entire world to prevent dumb Americans from tasting the fruits of their own incompetence, but didn’t count on the masses voting to eat the turd apple.

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

Brad is a mensch! But more than that: so a guy who can't get his statehouse together to fund SEPTA has enough time to pop off on a municipal race in a city outside of his state... cool cool. A+ priorities, Josh.

the NYC mayoral election might be an opportunity to reset some terms. the Cuomo faction are not “liberals” but “centrists”. the Lander faction are “liberals” the Mamdani faction are “leftists” if you’re mad at centrists but complaining about liberals you are mostly pissing on the wrong people

This is actually the fault of the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, which unconstitutionally capped the size of the House at the 435 seats determined by the 1910 census. We have a legislature based on the year California had 2.3M people. Both chambers have shifted power from people to land.

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

i really hope none of the folks who made the anti-tesla stickers and fliers do something with this and post it all around nyc

If ham is allowed to spiral, then so am I.

The MTA sues the Trump administration: "The Trump Administration’s efforts to 'terminate' Congestion Pricing are unlawful." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This, & we're doing it again now, with a laser-focus on What Democrats Must Do rather than any pressure at all on GOP Senators & Reps who still refuse to hold the line. I see a lot of fuming at Schumer, Klobuchar, etc. It's all deserved. But where is the same fire directed at Tillis, Murkowski, etc?

There's never been an NFC championship game with a score of over 50 points... yet. #gobirds #was

Trump mixed up the yolk with the volk

Years of Lead Paint

The existence of porpoise and tortoise implies the existence of 24 more animals with the [x]or[x]oise naming convention.

I’m in the Village, it’s rush hour… & it’s quiet. There are a couple not congestion tolling reasons (more cars have quieter engines these days, it’s the first Monday of the year so folks might not have gone into the office plus it snowed (which is also a sound damper)) but I’m struck by the peace.

Speak this into existence, internet.

New York City built more housing in the 1920s than it has built in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s COMBINED. Nobody alive knows what an actual urban housing boom looks like.

Eric Adams at his presser today is legit calling for a rural/small town 3-year hukou system for migrants. Insane.

You know, I’ve very okay that my first post here is quoting this & rooting equally for the Mets, the New York Baseball Yankees & the SNDY.
