No one: Me: I wonder how Java programmer St. Carlo Acutis would feel about how "public static void main(String[] args)" became "void main()"

Remember when Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez in 2005? The Right played the long game, yet again.

Ok, @MTA, how am I supposed to use OMNY - something you're mandating we all exclusively use 4 days - when ALL of the turnstiles at the downtown 33rd Street 6 station say MetroCard only? The screens, eventually, reset to say that OMNY was accepted and I was able to use my card.

I low-key love that New York Magazine uses DFTBA as its e-commerce vendor

Oh, great... Cloudflare is down. Wonderful way to start the day

America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it. I am voting NO.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

If there was ever a reason to consider moving the New York State Capital to New York City it is that Albany residents won't be able to watch Jimmy Kimmel tonight

There is a Brooklyn Bar Association event happening in my apartment building right now. Today is the first time I have ever had FOMO for not being a lawyer.

Would simply like for ABC to show as much backbone as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority

A friend just used two different messages I wrote in a group chat to compare Benny Johnson and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social. The line is so far gone that it no longer exists.

Does anyone think that "malloc" is a bad choice for a function name in C? I know it stands for memory allocation but because of the Latin root "mal," I instinctively think it's actually a function for if the allocation was not properly completed.

When it comes to generating code, Gemini > ChatGPT.

Thanks to @governor.ny.gov's executive order, I was able to make an appointment at Walgreens for my annual COVID and Flu vaccines with my mother. And, while I was there, they pointed out I was overdue for a Tdap and HepB booster so I was able to get those too!

I was guilt-tripped into attending today's Nassau County Young Democrats End-of-Summer Party and I learned why: my friends @jaredgoerke.bsky.social and John Byrnes honored me with a resolution making me an honorary member. 🥹

St. Carlo Acutis was a Java programmer and Java is the programming language that powers Android. Ergo, Java is God's preferred programming language. Therefore, using Android is pleasing to God.

Scammer (via email): You violated our copyright Me (reply, verbatim): You SHALL present the written complaint in person. Failure to do so will prove that you are feckless, and I will get other organizations to break your copyright. (1/2)

When your media appearance could have been a press release #ericadams

It's official, I have to resurrect this from 2022 with NY-10

Hey @mta.info, can we please copy the 🇮🇪? www.cnn.com/2025/08/23/t...

Idea for punishing children in 2025: have their Internet speeds be reduced to 56K.

I cannot count the number of meetings, late-night takeout (including after evening classes while a student at Fordham!), and comfort meals I have had at Park Plaza - especially since it is geographically convenient for me. I am going to miss my neighborhood diner. brooklyneagle.com/articles/202...

You're damn right I ordered a Pixel 10 Pro

Amazingly, I somehow got ChatGPT to hallucinate on code I gave it. ChatGPT said the code didn't have declared data types (it did) and mentioned functions that did not exist.

My family and I have been founded by payday loan bottom feeders and real estate brokers about my father's estate for months. However, there is not much re assets in the estate - if the bottom feeders read the will (a public document), they'd know this. If there was ever a reason for AI, it's this.

Idea: go to a timeshare seminar and ask if I can provide my own contract (i.e. one that is actually fair). When I'm told "no," I begin playing the Why Game

I just used ChatGPT to rework a homework assignment from 15 years ago to make it actually work. It was an 8-puzzle solver program for an Artificial Intelligence class, and I always got segmentation faults when I tried to run it. No, the irony is not lost that I used AI to solve an AI problem.

About once/week, I get a scam email from, supposedly, the Senior Chairman at Cravath, Swaine & Moore. One small problem: the person whose name they use is at Sullivan & Cromwell. Big Law FTW?

While eating a bagel, I chipped a filling on my front tooth for a second time. How's everyone else's day going?

Does anyone else ever open up their phone to go to the MTA website and end up searching for the 00s R&B singer Mya? Not complaining - Lady Marmalade is an awesome song.

Nice way to start my morning: I learned that I got credit in the latest release of a Drupal module my employer's site (which I manage) uses. www.drupal.org/project/chan...

Idea for candidates for NJ and NY Governor: Upgrade the Port Authority airports to create jetways that allow for boarding from all doors. THAT is an infrastructure upgrade that everyone would love and would not be prohibitively expensive.

Honored to receive the Member of the Year Award from the club I helped start over 15 years ago. There is some humor in that I received this 4 days after I aged-out of Young Dems 😂

I'm very happy to see the NYSDC pass the resol I co-authored in support of #ND4C & #ND4S. Big thanks to @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social for introducing it & the Progressive & Rural Caucuses for their feedback. cc: @psc-cuny.org @uupinfo.bsky.social @nysut.bsky.social drive.google.com/file/d/1sa1s...

LFG!

Anyone else play the Hero Wars and all the way through just to get the high power level?

It's happening again. I can't escape it.

At least once/week, someone in my neighborhood blasts "My Heart Will Go On," which I faintly hear from my bedroom. However, they always start playing it at the last verse. Not complaining, just saying it's weird.

Has anyone ever noticed that, under Robert's Rules, the credentials committee report being adopted by the delegates is basically the Spider Man meme IRL? The delegates are deciding if they themselves should be seated.

My usual Mister Softee truck at Atlantic Terminal wasn't there so no 🍦 for me. Please keep me in my prayers. 🙃

Crazy enough, this has happened before (and the same weekend!): 2001. I would know because I was there at that scouting jamboree at West Point on the weekend of Palm Sunday with my troop (Troop 97). It was 70° on Saturday and, overnight, snow fell. www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley...

Amid the heartbreak in so many directions, it was a wondrous balm to spend today on Capitol Hill with over 200 TB Fighters from every state in the U.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made it happen from @tbfighters.org to @partnersinhealth.bsky.social. Together, we are strong.

Huge thanks to Kyla Anderson from @dangoldmanforny.bsky.social office for meeting with me and and Kailani from @partnersinhealth.bsky.social about ending Tuberculosis worldwide as part of the #tbhillday with @tbfighters.org

@kimmosc.bsky.social Are you going to be posting the BOE ledgers on your website again? Asking for a friend.

I may be risking pneumonia by marching in the rain with @psc-cuny.org but when education, health care, human rights, and so much more are under attack by Trump, Musk, and rest of the DOGE, I can take it. #handsoff

The head of the New York Families Foundation can't seem to follow the 8th or 9th commandments by first stealing Conservative Party funds and then lying about having done the crime - though he pled guilty. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

Here's the trick: call their bluff. DEMAND that the IRS come and arrest you. mashable.com/article/irs-...

Confession: I mix French and Italian salad dressing and the combo tastes fantastic. I think the major dressing makers should follow suit and sell the concoction as "Mediterranean Dressing."

I may have been the only @psc-cuny.org person at the March in March for CUNY but it doesn't matter because we're all in this fight together. (Last 📸: @smiller17x.bsky.social)

Beautiful day for petitioning! I collected 5️⃣0️⃣ signatures in just under 3 hours!
