Interesting to note that Mamdani is a 3rd culture kid.

This is going to live in my head rent free.

going to the park to bully some kids with asthma puffers by referring scornfully to their "dag bongs"

Not a picture of a sandwich.

Ok… let's get serious. I googled images of Subway "sandwiches" and based on the canonical definition of "sandwich" this is not a sandwich. It may have been a foot long, it may have been thrown, it may have hit the cop, but it was not a sandwich. It is—at best—an unappetizing hoagie. Mistrial.

Robert Heinlein spot on.
In 1939.

I just got back from a walk. While I was walking through the park, a little white boy and his father flagged me down from the very other end of the park. Now to be fair, I have on my hat on, so I’m easy to spot lol. The little boy drew me this. A month ago. He has been waiting to see me again.

Part of the reason I would never leave New York (besides the obvious point that it’s the greatest city in the world) is that I’d have to learn how to drive and it turns out that private car ownership is bonkers expensive if you aren’t already indoctrinated into the expectation of it.

How many kilowatt hours?

Ugh, yeah. I'm melting at the moment.

Nice!

It'd be better than just sitting here in the dark.
I guess I could invest in a torch as well...

Survived a couple of major storms in the last couple of weeks and then just had our power shut off by Energex with zero warning. Time to get a home battery?

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

The Andrew, formerly known as Prince, will only have his dogs, horses, domestic staff, the local gulf club, and the vast Sandringham estate to keep him company.

Pray for him.

Putin and xi Jinping have both overturned term limits in their respective countries. I see no reason why Trump wouldn't do the same.

Can you run an extension cable across the street?

Absolutely

"cultural misalignment". A culture of concentrating wealth and shafting their employees.

Elon Musk tweets: "Just saw this in a conference room at Tesla Global Engineering HQ in Palo Alto" The attached photo shows a dripping graffiti-style spray-painted text on a wall, which reads: The Future is Autonomous

kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning

I had the same thought. It's like a big "fuck you" to anyone who's interested in actual climate justice.

Microsoft deploys fix for Azure cloud service after outage Microsoft says it is rolling out a fix to address an outage of its Azure cloud portal which left users unable to access Office 365, Minecraft and other services.

Who could have predicted that centralising all our internet hosting services would result in mass outages. ... :/

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

I rode the 1 train with Linsey Davis on the way to our ABC News interview yesterday, and talked about how in the wealthiest city in the world we can't simply accept that people have to sleep on the streets or the subways.

It's not a question of resources. It's a question of political will.

"all our consoles have been trash for like fifteen years, kinect didnt work and we trained our customers to never buy a video game again. now we are blowing up venezualan fisherman with reddit hitler and his dookie bros"

I'm a bit disappointed that it's not 7.5%.

Agatha Christie used to drink a pint of cream a day, so who can say if this is bad.

(That was just an excuse to trot out some Agatha Christie trivia. It's bad.)
