Meanwhile NY City Council is close to declaring all out war on e-cyclists because a few 70 year old conspiracy nuts with brains cooked by Facebook comments yelled loudly enough.
Adam McKay@ghostpanther.bsky.social · 16h agoIf LeBron or Taylor Swift posted this most recent El Niño historical temperature graph (current one in red) 500 million people would be in the streets. (And a hundred million lives would likely be saved in the next 20 months) #ClimateCrisis
It’s confusing that @theatlantic.com described this man as a “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024” who when these are some of his very easily findable FB posts:
Mr. Dan Zak@mrdanzak.com · yesterdayA Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Being absolutely terrified by the bug closeups in Wormy from Spongebob is a canon event for most late-90s Gen Z I feel.

The Miller Park roof is getting attention thanks to Ty France hitting it but before that it's always fascinated me why they went with that roof design. They had enough space to build a traditional one but they went for one that makes far more sense in a dense city where space is limited.
Pros and cons of the Yankees losing Game 2. Con: playoffs-wise, we are screwed. Pro: ticket prices falling below $30.
Yeah so about the TWU's line that we can't have automated trains because conducters are just that important for safety.

There's something very beautiful to me about a team liked by homophobes/transphobes being knocked out by the Aces.
Aware this is not a new thought re: Avengers Endgame but I hate how it's low-key radical now for a major media franchise to just end and have definitive closure with it's story. The ending of Endgame was the closest the MCU ever got to that and now they have to ruin it for the sake of More Content.
If you are comparing rerouting a bus to the Nazis, you are a deranged lunatic, not a concerned citizen.
Doug Gordon@brooklynspoke.bsky.social · 2w ago"As an elder, this feels like Nazi Germany in 1933. What are you gonna do next? Kill me because I’m elderly?” This is a real thing a person said about a plan to reroute a bus and make it safer for people to bike. People are not okay.
So I'm actively trying to wein myself off Bluesky and I appreciate Bluesky's support team for helping that process along.
given that democrats will need to flip five seats in the senate after fetterman switches parties in january it really seems like they're going to need to win some very close races where they can't actually afford to tell trans voters "fuck you, stay home"
“NYPD is located at this station” The NYPD at this station:
So I recognize I'm potentially wading into dangerous waters with this but I'm not overly offended by the US Open influencers? They're loud and annoying but that's been a part of New York sports audiences since forever.
This is what safety advocates were screaming would happen after the city delayed a safety plan because they got afraid of conspiracy theory-brained NIMBYs claiming anyone in favor of it was a paid actor. Now a New Yorker is dead and 2 others are injured in the most disgustingly predictable way.

I want to make sure everyone in the city is aware that SUNY Downstate operates a large and extremely skilled LGBTQ and gender affirming care clinic, and we have repeatedly reiterated our intention to go to jail before we stop.
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · last mo.BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday that it reached an “agreement” with Mount Sinai Health System in which it will “cease providing” gender-affirming medical care to minors and dedicate $2 million to providing care to those “suffering harmful consequences” of such care.
You cannot say this and remain in office. He has to go. And Democrats have to make an enormous deal out of threats to exterminate an entire group of people.

I have video of him racing after I and two other people after a pro-congestion pricing event at Hochul's office while yelling obsenities at us. And this is nowhere near an isolated incident; most active safe streets activists, especially women, have stories of Chris harassing and stalking them.

In response to this City Council Speaker Julie Menin has proposed the dramatic (and frankly dystopian) step of putting facial recognition tech in cars to identify if the driver of a vehicle is a teenager or not. Wait no sorry that was her proposal for Citi Bike e-bike users.

One guy has a trifecta he's using to hide cops who killed our neighbors for protesting goons putting churro ladies in concentration camps. The other says stupid shit occasionally on a Twitch stream, where he spends like 90% of his waking time. I want my party's leader to fight only the first guy.
I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.
