Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

Anytime NYC DOT cancels a bike lane from now, on the 1st question out of reporters should be "How much did you get bribed?"

The new MSNOW backronym is so bad. I wonder what names they *rejected*.

RCV has led to a positive, substantive campaign with Lander and Mamdani acting as if they're in a buddy comedy about who loves New York more and Mamadani encouraging his supporters to donate to A. Adams. And then there's Cuomo, set apart from it all, fear mongering about a city in decline.

The Irish have had ranked choice voting for ~a century & the saying there is ‘vote til you boke’ (boke=puke)—if you can’t stand the remaining candidates, don’t list them!! Anyone you list, you might end up voting for!!

The new pope signed up for Twitter in 2011 with a Hotmail email address that he also used for a lot of other stuff, which is how I know that he's probably the first pope on Zynga and almost certainly the first pope on Tumblr

Okay lets game this out: You are a Nintendo employee given unlimited funds and authority to move Switch 2 production to the US. No new factories, that's going to take way too long, you need to work with existing American Contract Manufacturing capacity. How fast can you do it?

Todd: Canadian hockey fans get short end of stick in new Rogers TV deal The $11B pact means we’re in for another 12 years of being force-fed the same mundane, tedious and sometimes misinformed NHL broadcasts we’ve seen for 11 years.

"For Montreal fans, Garry Galley remains a sore point. Galley has helped more anglos improve their French than the entire OQLF — by sending them in droves to the superb RDS broadcasts with Pierre Houde alongside Marc Denis."

Ha. SO true. Ponticelli does the same for the LPHF.

Even if they're not in jail, none of these people should have driver's licenses! Why give them a speed limiter if they're not legally allowed to drive?

Why Isn’t There a Canadian Traffic Safety Crisis? As roads in the US get more dangerous, Canada’s traffic fatalities have been going down. These practices and policies help explain why.

www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Around 118 of every million Americans died in crashes in 2020, two and a half times the Canadian rate of 46.

Canada's rules DO have better public safety outcomes.

This is a policy specifically aimed at recidivists. You think they won't borrow or rent a car and speed in that?

Ontario takes away their car and imposes fines up to $10K.

Why are we trying to fiddle around the edges with these high-tech hacks? Confiscate the car on the spot, throw the driver in jail.

If you drive drunk in Canada, that's what happens. This should be no different.

Alsupp issuing a PI from the bench. Finding that OPM engaged in sham terminations, claiming they were performance based in an attempt to avoid the procedural requirements of the Reduction in Force Act.

Trustee Chris Fite is doing fine. Give him a high five if you see him.
Trustee Scott Eckhart is a spineless little twerp though. We'll get to replace him in the 2028 election.
No one actually knows what Gary's middle initial "C" stands for, so you're free to brainstorm your own fitting C word.
The illustration of Jim Kelly is an artist's rendering. We cannot confirm if flies have gathered in Jim's putrescence at this time.
Jim Kelly lists his business phone number at Allstate on his public GUHSD profile. Be polite and DO NOT call him at 619-562-9199 to share your thoughts about his failures on the Board of Trustees. Come on, guys.

This protest zine was made by a student in the Grossmont Union High School District and passed out at the board meeting on Tuesday.

The kids are going to be alright.

Me: "Kinda." I explain what I like and what I look for.
Him: "Anything to make the pain go away."
Me: "Are we still talking about supplements?"

It's sad ABC killed what was left of FiveThirtyEight (538?).

But it's journalistic malpractice to pull down the abcnews.go.com/538 page, too. Bonkers decision.
