KNICKS IN FIVE KNICKS PRIDE BROOKLYN

Our whole city is cheering for the Knicks tonight. So it’s only right that we bring the Knicks to the whole city. Tonight, Game 5 will be streaming on 130 LinkNYC kiosks. Let’s go Knicks.

😮😮😮😮😮

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

😮😮🤩🤩 GO KNICKS!!!

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.

Simply the most inspiring and kind thing I’ve seen from any candidate in this race. Vote by June 2nd.

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

Spurs vs Knicks! Let's GO! #NBAFinals #KnicksSky

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.

It's surreal watching this game knowing my Knicks will be playing one of these teams for the NBA Championship.... I haven't felt like this since.... #KnicksSky

So proud of everyone mobilizing to defeat a proposed #datacenter in #Coachella and protecting this valley's precious #water resources. Tune in now: www.coachella.org/city-governm...

Last night @carnage4life.bsky.social accused me of helping perpetuate negative myths about AI. I hate when people perpetuate negative myths about AI, so this thread will be about the very many real harms committed using AI by Dare's employer Meta. 1/

Can't believe it's almost been a year since we lost @jillsobule.bsky.social - grateful for this tribute @ted.com #TED2026

HEIST documents the systematic dismantling of government agencies and purging of our federal workforce. It shows the chilling deconstruction of basic services in medicine, disaster aid, financial regulation and civil rights. It took 249 yrs to build modern America but only 100 days to destroy it

From what I can see, Disney didn't mention its (supposed) $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI on its most-recent quarterly and annual reports. The AI bubble is a mirage! investors.thewaltdisneycompany.com/files/doc_fi... investors.thewaltdisneycompany.com/files/doc_fi...
