Sliwa has said that Cuomo's backers have offered him millions to drop out but he refuses. He says that Adams likely took the deal.

Anyone with two eyes knows that Sliwa has stayed in because he hates Cuomo.

This is just reporting. This is what headlines in the New York Times and your local paper should look like every day. The New Yorker should be publishing stuff like this, only with an umlaut thrown in occasionally for some fucken reason.

The fuck do you know about "Trump's target audience"?

(also, the consumption rate was not nearly as high as panic-producing news reports indicate; crime stats in the region remained flat or declined despite sheriffs‘ claims to get more money; and the scrip numbers are inflated because schedule IIs must get a new scrip every month, no refills allowed.)

(some people metabolize it fast or poorly; the answer is not increase dosage, it’s add a low dose of a beakthrough/rescue med or reduce each dose and increase frequency, but we didn’t know that at the rural doctor level in the 90s) and the perfect storm was born.

Manual labor destroys bodies.

That was usually a decade+ away, and in the pre-ACA, a knee replacement was $30K out of pocket and as attainable as the moon. The only treatment was pain meds, and surviving long enough to make it to Medicare. Orthopedic injuries get worse. Then add in the genetic variant in opiates processing —

This, and recall, one of the major reasons for the spike in opiates consumption starting in the 90s in the Rust Belt/Ohio River watershed was a 1-2 punch of factories closing & abandoning a workforce with decades of repetitive stress injuries AND no access to rehab/health care until Medicare.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

*here's something they claim is a way to suppress "hateful bullshit" but in actual practice is actually just supressing cat pictures, people who swear, people who happen to be trans...

The essential disabling of the reply button on the main timeline is tedious and annoying. But the forced moderation of my own timeline without any ability for me to control it is just frankly outrageous.

This is not even close to what I signed up for when I came here.

I did not come to @bsky.app so that you could decide FOR ME what I want my social media to be like.

Control over my own experience was the whole entire draw.

The most completely mundane replies being hid in my mentions without my consent or control is absolutely ridiculous and outrageous.

@pfrazee.com y’all gotta give us back control of our own accounts this is out of hand.

Literally hid a cat picture someone sent me.

"I kept trying to go to the prison clinic, but [the medical staff] wouldn't do anything ... Later, doctors told me they were very sorry to tell me that I had spindle cell sarcoma — and that it was not curable. They said if I had gotten to them when it was in my foot, I would have been OK."

Alan Moore knows the score

Show us a poll, don't just loftily assert "the media acts like polls say this, so they must say it; its ontologically impossible for the media to lie"

Oh of course not, that'd be useful: its automated people-who-were-mean-to-MAGAt blocking.

Who asked for this? Who do you think your audience is?

Private mode? No no no you fools. Our PROTOCOL OF THE FUTURE can't do that! And we see drafts and groupchat as low priority. Think forward. What if replying to posts was significantly more annoying and clumsy? Yeah, you're welcome you horrible little piggies. You'll take it and you'll love it.

@indexx.dev quote dunking me. me: When the devs say the "protocol" doesn't allow for something, what they mean is they don't feel like doing the extra work that is clearly possible because they HAVE done it in the past. indexx: if anyone thinks this is an easy task, I implore you to open a PR [included link to github]

The post that started it. Is it really worth the devs' time to be quote dunking random critics with like 15 likes on a post? this also attracted another friend of Jay to harass me before I blocked them, and THEN, as shown above, indexx snitch-tagged Aaron in an attempt to get him up my ass.

*in charge, developing, moderating, in power, whatever

Sharing a screen of this dev being even shittier before I block him. Is this the kind of person who should be in charge of a social media site?

Can you share a few of these data points, or do you just loftily assert "they exist but, trust me, but I'm not obligated to prove that"?

Sounds like he worked somewhere nice, the Wurlitzer organs were for bigger movie theaters

A post on twitter showing that conservatives are railing against SNAP because you can buy Grey Poupon

They really really think advertising is real.

It's honestly remarkable how smooth their brains are.

A literal constitutional amendment, even. You know how hard it is to make those happen in the U.S.?

It being blatantly against a constitutional amendment is just "an obstacle"?
Come on, now.

The rich could be so very wealthy in a world where everyone has their basic needs met and can all make abundant discretionary spending.

Under capitalism!

But they choose inequality over actual wealth. They'd rather own desperate people than be wealthier in an equitable society.

If everyone had a foundational SNAP stipend to fit a minimal expected living quality, that would be downright utopian TO CAPITALIST GOALS. Literally the only reason NOT to spread SNAP, spread universal basic income, is to increase inequality. It's never financially sound to stop them.
