idk it just feels like at this point it’s clear that sustained use of AI does something to your brain and for some people that ends up being truly life ruining and i’m like why would you not want to protect your brain.

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterdayNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

How many NYC voters don't want their tax dollars subsidizing NYPD excessive force settlements for officers who are repeat offenders, and how much more do those settlements cost compared to the subsidized food 🙄
That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Hochul halted cap and invest and gutted the climate law. Cap & invest - even the weak sauce version she’d talked about supporting - would have raised and spent about $2B per year to help prevent apocalyptic climate change. She has the regulatory authority to do it at any time. She should!

There are many of us working very hard to do something anyway. The key is to get to doing something, and for that something to interrupt the normalcy of this moment, to interrupt the harm, the criminalization, the othering of so many people. Give mutual aid, start a small action, do it with others.
Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · 3w agoThere are people in this country working right now to stop us from doing anything about crises that are literally killing people. They do it with climate change, infectious diseases, etc. Others, sycophants and “we know best” economist types, are the handmaidens of destruction. No hell hot enough.
No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."
Experts say a tight-fitting, high-quality KN95 or N95 mask is a good defense against the microscopic particles distributed by wildfire smoke. Free masks will be available at public library branches across the city. Find a location near you here ⬇️

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
bout ready to mute that man's name because he doesn't deserve my attention
The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.
We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 4w agoICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

You aren’t putting him in jail. You’re just letting him continue on his perfectly fine life without being one of the hundred most powerful people in the country.
You do not have to give people “due process” before you choose not to vote for them. You can just be like “oh word the guy who wrote rape apologia and had allegations just got another serious allegation? Guess he doesn’t need to be my senator.”
