@jonfavs.bsky.social So you know, Queens is the most diverse county in the world. And the most diverse place in the world. And there are more languages spoken in New York City than anywhere else. Demonstrably. Factually.

Absolute worst experience shopping at the Brooklyn store today. Terrible.

Except Manhattan isn’t a city. It’s one of five boroughs in New York City. Just to be clear

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Fwiw she is pretty widely disliked even by her GOP colleagues. She’s all over the place. Messy. Fights with them too.

This is the most attention she has gotten in ages despite her many attempts, hence the differences in tack some have taken in this whole brouhaha. She really craves it. It’s weird

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

Here’s my latest piece for @urban-x https://medium.com/urban-x/net-zero-and-the-biodiversity-crisis-3f1e1965a89d

What Happened When a Brooklyn Neighborhood Policed Itself for Five Days On a two-block stretch of Brownsville in April, the police stepped aside and let residents respond to 911 calls. It was a bold experiment that some believe could redefine law-enforcement in New York C...

Now just take the money away from NYPD and give it to the people in the community. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/04/nyregion/brooklyn-brownsville-no-police.html

one of the appeals of bluesky is simply that it is ridiculous and unserious in precisely the way that musk doesn’t get. he thinks he’s funny but isn’t and has turned twitter into a reflection of that.

When someone says they don’t talk about politics they are revealing their profound privilege. Marginalized minority cohorts have no choice. And never more so as now.

@reuters.bsky.social just characterized the increase in the debt ceiling as a “fight” between the Dems and Repubs. That’s a lie. It’s a repub crafted false narrative and disinformation campaign to eliminate the social safety net.

Tiktok is where I first saw the riots in France. It’s where I first heard about the expulsions from the Tennessee House.

Spending the week out of the city in the Catskills. Gorgeous weather. Chill house. Beautiful wood stove. Happy dog. Reading Joan Didion

So happy to see you here. Love your tiktok. Thanks for all your work.

So many of my friends, mostly from afar, are pissed I bailed on FB. And that’s a real downside. I just can’t go there anymore.

Lolol. Heaven forfend

This actually feels like twitter 2007
