Wow dang, I wrote to Mamdani a couple of months ago to express my concern for trans New Yorkers due to all the institutional capitulation to the Trump administration, and his office actually wrote back. It’s been yeaaaarrrs since a politician’s office wrote me back.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

"Tributes Pour In for Senator Lindsey Graham", then a dramatic blank space on the landing page of NYT.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani announces click-to-cancel rule for NYC. This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers. This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

hold on, about to chat with mcconnell

This has been the most spiritually bankrupt celebration of anything I've ever seen and that's it, that's our 250th. We don't get to go back and redo it, this one's in the books: Temu Arch, cheesy architecture, horrible displays, AI everywhere. Far right propaganda. Jokes at our expense

I love this country. It's got a lot of problems, but it's my home and I want it to be good and I think it could be good. I love my country and I want to celebrate our 250th Independence Day too And all day--ALL DAY--the administration has made it clear that they don't consider me a real American

We're so starving for consequences we're reading Vatican press releases

It is going to be a hot one today, and when the heat rises there are many places in Erie County to go to cool down! From cooling shelters, libraries, swimming pools and more, please go to this special website to find every site across Erie County: www3.erie.gov/health/stay-...

You’ve heard of Burning Man. Meet:

QR code is in the write up for the lucky person who will take this witty conversationalist home. He WANTS and NEEDS love and attention!

Even the pope wants you to finish that screenplay

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

From the start, this has been OUR campaign. We are building a coalition of working people who know a better world is possible, and are fighting for it. We’re not done: next up, we’re taking on MAGA, the far right, and even more corporate greed.

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

This PAC is terrified of us winning; let's make them sorry they ever spent a single penny on this election. bojakforassembly.com/vote

Some people create. Some people destroy. Often we do both without realizing that we’re doing the latter. Whenever possible, be a creator and help lift up creators.

@justiceraminarman.bsky.social super appreciate the lots and lots of gnomes and fervid dancing it takes to make D&D! The care y'all put into the game truly shows.

Pennsylvania law required slaveholders to free their chattel after six months, so George Washington tried to get cute and send the people he enslaved south every six months to reset the clock.

This is an online directory that collects trans-friendly resources of all kinds across Erie County - attorneys, doctors, and so much more. If you need these resources for any reason - or, have some you want to add to their directory - go to www.BuffaloTRN.com, or send it to [email protected]!

At Hamburg's Pride in the Park this past weekend, a person was walking around raising awareness about the Buffalo Trans Resource Network - so, I wanted to do my best to give it a boost!

i'd like to see AI try and replace this work

Did my mammogram today and it hurt so much I threw up right there on the floor. Again. And it still fucking hurts, hours later. Dear Science, Surely there is a better way to screen for cancer, other than the medieval torture device. We shouldn't have to live this way.

The shieldmaiden raised a tankard to the battered knight. "Dragon got the better of you? Told you." "I'd like to see you do better!" "Sure!" She emptied her tankard, rode out, and soon returned with the princess. "How?" "First, make sure the princess wants to be rescued-" "But-" "-by you."

Please Use AI

Obviously this is fucking horrendous and evil but I need people to understand this is about the scans—the video footage.

The data referred to here is the scans, video footage. If you didn’t take video footage of pokestops and upload it to Niantic, you did not participate in this. There is confusion because the verb “scan” in-game also means spinning the pokestop And even if you did scan, you didn’t know.

If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.

I weirdly do not have the same annoyance towards phrases like “adult content creators” since there’s so much anti-sex, anti-porn sentiment and pressure out there, and I don’t feel qualified to weigh in on that industry’s professional jargon!

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Game Changer one of the best shows being made on television right now, and probably the single most exciting show artistically. If you're not watching it, then you are extremely missing out

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

PSA to animal accounts: if you want to acknowledge Pride please make it clear you didn’t cross the rainbow bridge

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

Goo morning, monsters. Heed the drool. It’ll tell you what you’re hungry for.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

So one of the BIG production companies are looking for Adirondack actors but are filming this movie in the Catskills / Hudson Valley...cowards, you can't have my extra T's

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

Tech bros believe they are übermenschen who will shortly rule supreme as immortal CEO-kings over a world of silicon and iron What they are actually doing is destroying their bodies with weird drugs and their brains with AI dependency. I think that's beautiful. Nature heals itself

As a reminder, just like in the Town of Allegany, you are not allowed to shoot cannons in Erie County as well. www.wgrz.com/article/news...
