i often think about this review

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

if you're in san francisco early for GDC, saturday and sunday will be the last two days of this interactive art showcase!

The Supreme Court:

They got the big game on at the bar

I just thought everyone should see this

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

us @ the moon tonight

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

F. Scott Fitzgerald: In my book I invented Gatsby lifestyle as a cautionary tale The president: At long last, we have created the Gatsby lifestyle from the classic novel The Great Gatsby

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Please just develop the literacies and dispositions to play old games just like you can watch old movies.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

it's actually really fucked that basically everyone in the US is suddenly being forced to mourn a nazi or lose their job or livelihood, i've never seen anything even close to this for any other shooting or death in the US during my lifetime

Thousands of X users have posted about Ali Nasrati, a 30 yr old IT tech for Walmart, claiming he made insensitive comments abt Charlie Kirk. But Nasrati has never posted about Kirk. Now, he's been suspended from work and forced into hiding. I wrote about people being falsely targeted by the right

"We have to cancel kristallnacht 2.0 because the guy was one of the people we were grooming to take part in it" is a heck of a twist to be sure

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

ICE raids are political violence

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

I will say that I find it weird that a lot of people are like "this is the moment that will tip us into violence" when a Minnesota politician was assassinated in her home 2 months ago and someone literally shot Trump in the head last year. how exactly is charlie kirk the tipping point

It’s been very clear since Benoit Blanc said “the Nazi child masturbatin' in the bathroom” that Rian Johnson is the only filmmaker who truly gets what has happened to certain dudes in online spaces

Why? Well, for starters, 300 ICE agents have been moved to Chicago, leaving only about 300 in LA County which is about what we had before Trump took office. Why are they leaving? Because LA made their jobs TOO FUCKING HARD. LA Organized. LA sat on corners outside Home Depots with radios. 5/

Ah yes, the "Manhattan Project for babies" will absolutely *drops stack of notecards, scrambles to pick them up while reading them* uhhh....enrich...babies...for use in...nuclear weapons...in Ukraine...Fat Man 2: Obese Man

Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡

congrats to Team Cherry for never having to learn about JIRA

successfully turning @bmchorse.com into a yakuza sicko is making me the happiest

Years ago my friend Sheli would sometimes use the phrase, “the aesthetics of sub-competency,” and it’s a phrase I think about a lot lately.

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe
