Certainly with the northeast, if not New York.

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

Parks Dept neck and neck with BoE for failing to prepare for events they themselves scheduled: Parks advertised commemorative souvenirs to the first 200 people at the Astoria Pool's 90th anniversary today, but isn't prepared when the pool opens and have no method to track the first 200 people.

Am I just a cynical lost cause or is there nothing genuine about this whole thing?

The real horseshoe theory is that both Bluesky posters and the New York Post are mad at Zohran for making the same recommendation that ConEd makes during every heat wave because everyone is allergic to personal responsibility now

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

Running for president, or really any federal office, without a plan to deal with this out of control institution is pointless. You might as well play pretend

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

The Constitutional Crisis started in 2000. You've been living through it your entire adult life. The reason politics feels hopeless is by design — conservatives broke our democratic form of government to guarantee that the people cannot act against them and are continuing to break it.

I would reverse Bill de Blasio and the hotel union’s ban on new hotels in New York City

New York, let's do this. Put them outside of grocery stores or down by the IKEA in Red Hook. Let's go!

hey man just letting you know you're on camera

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social are you gonna knock heads & stop city agencies from flouting your administration’s stated policies? More important than sports videos

I think there's actually a useful difference we can draw here. Namely: there is incrementalism that comes from pushing wherever possible (and with whatever levels possible) to make progress toward a maximalist demand, versus incrementalism that's positioned as an excuse for setting minor goals

What does it mean to say that people who won elections in NYC “don’t understand the politics” of the districts they won?

democrats who don’t take loud and firm stances in favor of the regulation if AI and prediction markets are leaving votes on the table. also easy ways to demonstrate your independence from SV billionaires www.semafor.com/article/06/2...

This is the one who is pro-RFKJr anti-vaxx, *as a transit union head* This one union is wildly mismanaged. Doesn't mean transit workers don't deserve a fair deal, but we shouldn't tolerate MAGA/MAHA-anything

RESULT: New York Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar, who was known as an ally of former Mayor Eric Adams, has beenousted by David Orkin, a DSA-endorsed attorney who works at the immigrants' rights group Make the Road New York.

Brooklyn Can't Wait candidates are now uncontested or leading in 22 seats, out of 42 that is a majority, enough to elect a new chair I think we did it

a lot of this makes sense when you realize the base of the left in NYC are renters, who a lot of machine centrists view as intruders

Seems like Queens is on a path to make an anti-vaxxer (Milner) judge. Nothing infuriates me more than the completely information-free judge races in NYC. At least this one wasn't a pick two with two options.

Oh hell yeah

recognizing AOC and Zohran are tactically splitting their endorsements to avoid bad blood is a 'you must be this tall to ride' marker for understanding ny politics.

Dan Goldman to Brad Lander is such a huge upgrade, congrats

I personally stopped doing this a number of years ago when it was clear what MI had become. It helped that the leading NYC/transit voice at MI also lost her mind at the same time, but too many people in the policy space still routinely give her the time of day for reasons I can't quite understand.

SEPTA New Bus Network Phase 1 starts this August and to illustrate that there are new SEPTA transit maps! These have been in the works for over a year. wwww.septa.org/initiatives/...

lmfao

Yeah dude, that sucks!

People n here are going to self-select to 2010s Twitter but it’s actually late 2000s to early 2010s Facebook. A shockingly good platform for keeping in touch with actual, IRL friends, sharing photos, and organizing event that everyone actually used because it did what they wanted it to.

Make Citi Bike affordable again

social media that's bad for minors is obviously bad for adults too. crazy to me that the move seems to be to just accept that and ban minors rather than regulate the obvious design patterns that were put in there on purpose which make it harmful to its users

The city needs to take more roadspace on the bridges. Even if we could rein in fast e-bikes and scooters today, narrow, two-way bike lanes + the steep slopes of bridges means you have a big mismatch of speed between people going in opposite directions.

peak in-game win probability for Spurs in finals losses: game 1: 94.1% (Q3 6:31) game 2: 90.9% (Q2 11:32) game 4: 98.7% (Q4 9:33) game 5: 97.1% (Q4 7:54) image is game 5 nose dive

Dude I was just in a crowd that was blocking a bus and the girl behind me started chanting “MTA, MTA” and then the crowd parted to let the bus thru 😭 Greatest city in the world baby

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

HOLY SHIT ZOHRAN HAS THEM MANDATE OF HEAVEN! KNICKS WON HOLY FUCKKKKK

Is there a way to not give this to Dolan?

man nyc is such a fun place right now. on my way to a mets game (lol) and everyone’s in knicks gear or brazil gear or mets gear or argentina gear. everyone’s on their way to a watch party or a block party. the whole country could be like this if it wasn’t run by miserable pudding brained freaks

Classic MTA dispatching

Beyond the obvious threats to housing stability, this is a vision of the future that intentionally breaks community. They don't want you to have neighbors. They want you to have an app for that.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

Aaaaaaahhhhhh

Wemby’s got the ref equivalent of the PBA pal card

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

This is the key part; make your employer verify in writing that you (or your team) are expected, as part of the duties of your job, to be exposed to child sexual abuse material. They *of course* then have to provide a method of reporting it, and resources for supporting those exposed to it.
