I used to propose a newsletter called "Matt Watch," which would just be about various Matts. What are they up to? Can they be trusted? That would also largely have worked as a Twitter summary, but much less so for Bluesky.

Picture of Brad Lander shoveling snow in front of his campaign office.

Really hoping that the first time shoveling the campaign office sidewalk is also the last!

Enjoy the snow today, look out for your neighbors, and keep dreaming of spring (and petitioning shifts).

My husband has a friend who used to call Let's Make a Deal "the game show that combines guessing with nothing" and for some reason that's popping into my mind as I try to get my motivation up for work today

that's a lot of snow.

Unexpected xkcd.

Mine is Marisa, named after a dead ancestor (Morris in this case) because that’s how Jews do naming most of the time.

Maybe, but there are real problems here — first, slagging an entire generation’s cognitive ability is shitty. And the evidence for that loss is… lower standardized test scores. Which to me is not a metric for “cognitive ability.” YMMV.

Fun read. Basically if AI succeeds in its aims, we face massive problems. And of course if it turns out to be a bubble, we face massive problems.

We are a very pro-dumb nonsense household.

So are you!

Goodnight everybody. Try to be less stupid in the morning.

No spoilers just in case but when he opened for Weird Al’s vanity tour he did a bit that is possibly my husband’s favorite thing anyone has ever done.

Fine the snow is sticking now. You win this time nature.

Why do you think you’re me?

Poor Jordan Morris.

That poor man.

Calm down, PHONE, we know about the snow

Jesus Christ I don’t think the travel ban after 9 needed an emergency alert with the noise and everything.

And there it goes. I guess even they couldn’t figure out a way around an 8PM NYC travel ban.
