PLEASE REMEMBER TO REMAIN AS CIVIL AS POSSIBLE AS YOU ARE BEING TORN LIMB FROM LIMB BY WILD DOGS

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

We're coming up on the hundred days mark for Mike Johnson's shutdown of the House of Representatives. Feels like Democrats ought to mark the occasion with an event of some kind. Maybe an Epstein Files theme or something?

"You can go anywhere in a car!" is freedom. "You cannot go anywhere without a car!" is not.

We say men are less emotional because we coincidentally don't define anger or reacting because of ego as emotions.

THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?

oh my god they actually did it lmao

looking forward to reporting the antisemitic attacks perpetuated by the ADL against any jewish new yorker who feels even slightly differently about israel than they do

Mamdani announces transition team: All-female team led by Elana Leopold, a known Dem strategist; also Melanie Hartzog, who once led the NYC’s health and human services and budget offices; former dep mayor Maria Torres-Springer, and Lina Khan, the former FTC commissioner who campaigned with Mamdani

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

i'm supposed to do work today?? in Zohran's NYC???

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Zohran Mamdani's platform called for: - doubling funding for NYC's Abortion Access Hub and the New York Abortion Access Fund, - $65 million for public clinics and sexual and reproductive health care providers - universal childcare and 'baby baskets' for new parents It's a good day for NYC ❤️

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

2 MILLION VOTES: NYC! All before 9 p.m. More of our election coverage can be found here at thecity.nyc

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

Ooooh, FUN!

Chicken & White Bean Chili: -6c broth -4c cooked shredded chicken* -2 cans white beans -16oz salsa verde -2 tsp cumin put everything in a pot, heat until warm. add toppings as you please (avocado, tortilla chips, cilantro, shredded cheese...)

Who is wise? One who learns from all people. Who is a fool? One who is content with their own limited understanding of the world. (Pirkei Avot, Ethics of our Fathers)

Rich people whining that they'll leave NYC if Mamdani wins is like when I used to threaten my mom that I'd run away from home if she kept forcing me to make my bed every morning so she'd open the front door and tell me to go ahead and I'd stand there for a minute and go back upstairs to make my bed

For more posterity, Curtis Sliwa has a Chinese name that's very befitting of his brash, tough personality: 斯利瓦 means "that's really a sharp and tough piece of clay tile (the ones that can withstand decades of battering on your rooftops)" And for Cuomo... 古莫 means "not ancient". It's mostly phonetic

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name. The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

This is a fun chart! The green is the main bsky load balancer traffic throughput from Saturday night, and the purple is how much traffic there was 7 days before (the previous Saturday) The spike is due to the world series - pretty incredible! ⚾

love making an elaborate spreadsheet every year to figure out which health plan makes the most sense. totally normal.

extra feeling that "hazardous streets" bit after flying off my bike yesterday thanks to a pot hole i didn't see. i needed a few minutes to gather myself before getting back on the bike and i spent that time filling out a 311 complaint

Every business saying they're offering people a meal and adding "let's not make this political" deserve their asses on platters on social media. It is 100000% political. ENTIRELY political. There is nothing not political about the withholding of food money from citizens.

Welp, going back to not caring about baseball

If the game hits 2am Eastern the score is reset to an hour before and everyone has to repeat exactly what they did to preserve the space time continuum, thems the rules

They just did "Hey Ho Let's Go" at the World Series, so this is an opportunity to once again state the proven fact that the first time the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop" was played at a sporting event, it was at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minnesota. By rock critic Lester Bangs, with a boombox.

being a people manager is not my favorite, but nothing beats telling my team to log off early on a quiet friday.

Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Trans people have warned for years that these anti-trans policies would hurt far more than just trans people.

🚨🎃 for my fellow NYC halloween voters and sticker obsessives: there are a total of FOUR items available to you today — ask your poll worker! 1. halloween voting sticker 2. halloween **temporary tattoo** 3. borough-specific early voting sticker 4. regular early voting sticker gotta catch ‘em all 🗳️

They're calling him the most French man in history

tech bros keep promising self-aware ai when they haven't even cracked making self-aware tech bros

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

@naomiwolf.bsky.social definitely thought about you with this entire story

would love to hear what @thewaroncars.bsky.social thinks of the government's interpretation of "assaulting an officer" to include "banging on an officer's car window"
