fwiw @newkingsdems.bsky.social is yes on the housing measures. tinyurl.com/NKDVoterGuide25 (I’m also leaning Yes, No, No after reading the Hell Gate piece.)

I'de love for the City to do more on the housing proposals — in particular, I’m curious to learn more about #2 and the major parties for/against it.

Love your zines and have made/distributed ~200 myself. Given how popular they are, it would be great if you could consider making templates that use the back side of the paper — easy to do and people would get 2x the zines for the same amount of paper.

This game feels like an attack on DEI.

NY's Most Selective High School Admits Only 7 Black Students Out of 895 Spots

All young people — and old people — tend to think savvy and cynicism protect us from being scammed/tricked. There is no truer sign of a mark than to think oneself “above” it all.

Suggested an indie movie that turned out to be a brutal, violent drama about sex trafficking — so wildly inappropriate as a date movie that when it ended I came out laughing. My date was dumbstruck, horrified, and I took it as a bad sign that he couldn’t see the dark humor in it.

Two Opinions on Andrew Cuomo | The Brian Lehrer Show | WNYC Bill de Blasio and Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn offer different takes on the candidacy of Andrew Cuomo to be the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor.

*Excellent* segment on @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social

people should do that thing where they visit the site of a tragedy and leave flowers.

The Atlantic on the NYC mayor’s race

A screenshot from a college listing on Niche.com highlighting a student poll: “What one word of phrase best describes the typical student at this school” Responses include “Friendly” (54%); Cliquey (14%); and “Peaked in High school” (11%)

The student poll is my fave section of the Niche.com college rating site

Ugh. “Making democracy work” by endorsing the most corrupt candidate in the race? LOL

I know, right? Soooo good.

It’s turning out to be such a nice weekend, maybe I should go out foraging for some toilet paper

Same at Parkside stop in BK but just one stop south (Church), the Cuomo fans showed up.

Edited screenshot of a university profile shows that 52% of students polled say “the student body is very diverse in international students” next to a demographic snapshot showing that only 1% of students are International

This demographic profile of students from a major university in the South speaks volumes (from Niche.com)

A silouette of Donald Trump with a long “Pinocchio" nose cut out of shiny gold poster board. The word LIAR is on the sign, cut out of black construction paper.

Photo of the sidewalk, with the shadow of the Donald Trump “Pinocchio”/LIAR sign seen on the other pic. A person, also seen only in shadow, is holding the sign.

Love this gold poster board I found at the local dollar store. Figured I’d take pics of my new sign before it gets roughed up in the wild.

Cuomo claims that the protesters at his events are paid, that Jewish critics of Israel are antisemitic, and that the NY subway is a scary, dangerous place. Is this guy a MAGA wannabe or what?

Four Reminders of Andrew Cuomo's Disastrous Record on City Transportation - Streetsblog New York City The disgraced ex-governor's livable streets agenda isn't clear — but his record as governor speaks volumes. Here are the lowlights.

The guy generally hates the City.

@nyc.streetsblog.org did an amazing rundown of all of the ways he has tried to screw the subway system.
