even if you don't care about sports you gotta admit it's awesome that this guy had to hear to his face how the world feels about him

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

D&D pirates! This commission was done for @shelbyconverse.bsky.social #art #illustration #digitalart #dndcharacters

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

just choked on my beverage

I had the absolute pleasure of having a wereparrot pirate art commission done by @thebeardlyben.art and it's finished!

Hey Critters! As a quick note, our usual 9AM PT rebroadcast will be postponed this Friday, January 30th, so that everyone at Critical Role has the option to participate in the Nationwide General Strike in response to the ongoing brutality seen across our country, but especially in Minneapolis.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

This hit so fucking hard today.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?" "I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands." After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?" "This, too, is magic."

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

The latest forecast from the Weather Service Buffalo Office predicts dangerously low wind chills for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with -18° possible in Buffalo. That's still "warmer" than Watertown and Lowville at -29° and -31°, respectively. If you have to go out this weekend dress appropriately!

I first learned CPR in 2002. Best practices have changed since but the advice has not: get training. The more folks with the skill, the higher the likelihood that anyone survives a cardiac event. Year 24 today, back in for my recert. Have never had to perform CPR in the wild, hope I never will.

cats: i am once again asking why you are angry with me when you're the one who got your claw stuck in my shirt

11 PM Storm Update: I just finished a call with leadership from @eriecounty.bsky.social. While a 10 mile wide snow band is hitting parts of Erie Co. hard, all report the response from the county, towns and NYS is good. Thus, the current travel advisory still remains in effect. See picture for more.

Due to the upcoming snow storm and strong winds which are expected to create whiteouts, I am issuing a Travel Advisory for Erie County as of 10 PM tonight. Please limit all unnecessary travel, but if you must go, exercise caution on the roads and make sure your vehicle has a winter emergency kit.

It's an incredibly positive sign for the future of #dnd that Wizards of the Coast hired @jamesjhaeck.bsky.social @barilleon.com and @nirele.bsky.social to the team. Looking forward to great stuff in 2026 and beyond.

Look at this absolute queen

When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

Cannot stress enough that you can just do stuff. You don't need permission. You can just do stuff because it needs to be done by someone.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Damn, don’t hold back

that authorize his current work status through 2029. I find his detention to be wholly inappropriate. He should be released immediately. 3/3 www.investigativepost.org/2026/01/15/a...

Great read

we have survived another week of The Horrors and that's just going to have to do

I notice people are starting to refer to ChatGPT as Chat. Stop that. Chat is my unhinged friend made up of thousands of real voices. Chat is my audience both real and fictional. Chat is all of us. And ChatGPT is wearing our skin like a suit.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture) It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

I say this because studies have shown playing tetris in the wake of a traumatic event can reduce the likelihood of ptsd. I treat the app like first aid. If we keep traumatizing each other we do the enemy’s work for us.

My best recommendation to you is to keep Tetris or a similar game on your phone and if you or someone near you see or experience something traumatic, open that app and play a few levels

I heard that your first dream in the new year indicates how the year is going to go for you. Last night I dreamed about a fire truck that was on fire. Is that good

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Mamdani arrives to his mayoral inauguration at City Hall in a motorcade of NYC taxi cabs—workers he went on hunger strike with in 2021.
