Mamdani who would need a Constitutional amendment to become President as a naturalized citizen has a spot on the board just below Mark Kelly.

Jackhammers don't wake you up too early. Bad people with jackhammers wake you up too early. The only way to stop a bad guy with a jackhammer is a good guy with jackhammer.

He's just a cool renegade, man! He's cool renegade who will be responsible for many kids dying of preventable illness AND ramping up hatred for autistic folks.

Has anyone asked if his sectional has converted?

I've been canvassing those neighborhoods recently. There hasn't been a numeric shift, but a subset of folks want to vote against Mamdani really hard. They were more chill in June when they thought they were going to win.

Amazing! He made sitting court side look absolutely lame! Coolest seats in basketball, and most people would turn down an open spot to avoid being near those goons.

NYC Judges Have a Tool to Help Them Rule on Pretrial Detention. Why Are They Ignoring It to Make Racially Skewed Decisions? Joanna Weill of the Data Collaborative for Justice talks about its new study that finds judges are more likely to ignore release recommendations for Black defendants.

NYC judges have an extremely accurate statistical instrument to help them decide whether to release someone before their trial. But a new study finds that judges often disregard those release recommendations, especially for Black defendants.

My understanding is that these tools aren't actually racially neutral, but that makes it worse that the judges are like, "this tool isn't racist enough. I need to add in my own racism."

Was talking to a guy last night who is hauling his 10-year-old on an acoustic, and he was like, "I wish I felt safe having her bike herself. It's killing my knees."

That is some uncanny shit. You've got to.hand it to AI, it makes nightmare versions of reality pretty readily.

Cuomo just thinks all of his old feuds are more relevant than they are. Like how he launched his campaign with an endorsement from Carl McCall. "We've buried the hatchet from 2002."

I think the drug addled is probably a partial driver of the evil. They're just cooking their brains to be even more paranoid, anti-social, and self-aggrandizing.

In fairness, he's pitching FAST, free buses. The free facilitating lower dwell times, but I'd prefer a proof of payment system with big incentives for monthly passes like other cities use.

Yeah. I think Trump is so chaotic and unreliable that Adams knows he still needs to be auditioning for the jobs he's been promised.

Auditioning for the Trump administration.

I'm for public engagement, just not like this. All of the absurdity of a Park Slope Food Co-op meeting with none of the charm.

Throop?

Speed limiters should be mandated at point of sale with some serious anti-tamper security. The Dutch are having a lot of trouble with after market mods that allow for higher speeds. Too much whackamole tracking down individual speeders.

Was on Northern Blvd taking the Torah scroll to our High Holiday venue. Ambulance got hung up by the car dealership that parks its vehicles in the bus lane. When will Ariola be pushing for bus lane enforcement to speed emergency response?

Gatlinburg, TN.

I mean, if we redirected the police funds to automated enforcement, and street redesigns, we'd make streets much safer than the tickets ever did.

The public health gaps between these states and much of the rest of the country are already quite high. The right wing hucksters continue to kill off their constituents.

Jeffries' running Banks to successfully primary Charles Barron in 2023 shows that the one part of being Speaker he has a talent for is settling petty local scores even if it takes more than a decade. No one wants to bring that heat.

My big tin of coffee from Costco went from under $10 to $24. WTF? Brazilian Supreme Court should keep upping Bolsonaro's punishment until he begs Trump to stop the tarif.

Unfun fact, both Adams and Cuomo have been credibly accused of sexually assaulting police officers. Mamdani has not.

I'm here for an NYC with 15-20 million residents. Let's make it happen.

The Manhattan term limited City Council members will look at it (Ayalla, Powers, Rivera [Rivera would have to move]). Maybe Julie Menin. Micah Lasher. A bunch of rich people who live in the district. It will be a very crowded field.

He's in Goldman's district. BdB might move to run for the seat. Stringer will run. Maloney will probably run again?

there's a... pattern of behavior with Tesla/Musk and telling the truth, including in legal filings. But I'm sure all of Tesla's financial statements and accounting are totally accurate. That's gotta be the one thing they're telling the truth about, right?

Came here to post that aggressively cutting down on outdoor cats would be a cheap way to offset any bird loss from wind farms.
