It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

In the middle of manufacturing outrage over Omar Fateh and Zohran Mamdani, even Fox News couldn’t help but recognize the rent is too high. We must elect Omar Fateh, and enact a policy that ensures landlords can’t price gouge their tenants and force them out of their communities.

Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500.

It's scary how cute Park Slope was tonight.

Happy Halloween, NYC.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

#Colorado keep Rep Neguse. He is gooooood

Exactly a week ago tonight, I bought an outstanding quesadilla from a food truck around the corner from my house.

Sometime today, the man who smiled warmly and provided my meal to me, and literal shelter from a rainstorm, was kidnapped by paramilitary forces.

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

Let me get a BEC.*

*Bringing Economic Change

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

TACO is NOT building a ballroom.

He is building a bunker.

Booze Allen is not an architecture firm.

It’s a defense contractor.

Hurting Donnie’s feelings is now treason.

Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses Users Film and Harass Massage Parlor Workers “The shameless use of covert recording technology at massage parlours to gain likes, attention, and online notoriety is both disgusting and dangerous.”

People are using Meta's Ray-Ban glasses to secretly film themselves asking massage parlor workers for sex work. This is incredibly dangerous and sadly a trend across social media www.404media.co/metas-ray-ba...

crazy it is almost as if weiss has been promoted beyond her ability

A tweet from Jenny Wright (@JenEWright). The tweet text reads: "My annual reminder that food banks are not part of our social safety net, they are a sign that our social safety net is not working." A profile picture of a woman with blonde and gray hair is on the left.

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

Last night, I asked you to turn on your light if you’ve knocked on a door.

Now I’m asking you to sign up for a shift.

if you engage in this sort of AI Anthropomorphism in the pages of a prominent media organization (or anywhere else) you are loudly advertising that you don't know how this technology actually works

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.

Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.

No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

Melomin is bribing. I know I’m shocked too

Bummed how many of the youngs want to be game designers, but really just want to be retro vibes designers.

I've talked to so many younger devs who are passionate about pixel art, CRT shaders, Pico8, etc but not only put no work into designing mechanics, but simply don't consider them relevant.
