I can’t either, but still buying them if they are in stock!

Really want those sneakers, but can’t find them on the LFC website. Only saw the red ones for kids available.

11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com last night: "We do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country."

We have seen a lot of youth players who just can’t handle the pace, skill and strength required for the senior team. These two are so good it’s scary and totally look like they belong. Stunning to watch them both.

Violating my no posting rules during Liverpool matches to say…RIO NGUMOHA!!! HOLY CRAP!! This kid is ridiculous. Hope @erinnyc75.bsky.social @clinicalliz.bsky.social @reuterszengerle.bsky.social watch these highlights!

I thought it was just me. So bitter, don’t get it. Why have him on given how clearly unhappy he is? He’s like a horrible mashup of Michael Owen and Didi Hamann.

The Yankees got swept by the Marlins. How do Cashman and Boone still have their jobs? New 3rd baseman strikes out four times. Boone pinch hits for Jason Dominguez and the guy strikes out in both of his at bats. Dire stuff.

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

I loved Brown University. I flourished at Brown University. I met friends and my future spouse at Brown University. I stayed to get an extra degree. I played in the band at commencement. I raised $50k (most of it my own) to endow a UTAship for women in CS at Brown University.

Fuck Brown University.

This is the best thing you'll see today, and I say that as a person who wrote something awesome today and does not lack for confidence.

After the shooting, Adams specifically criticized Mamdani for wanting to eliminate the Strategic Response Group. Do you agree with Mamdani that SRG should be eliminated and replaced with something else?

I believe yes, and I'll tell you why, because you have the strategic response team to go to shooting incidents or (when) really, really high-profile crimes are happening or something. But the strategic response team has been used to tame some of the protests. You know, the foundation of American ideals is freedom of speech. People have the ability to express themselves, and when you have a heavy-handed presence from the police department, I mean, it's just not going to look good. It does not look good, and it should not be there.

Retired NYPD Lieutenant Commander Shamsul Haque tells me that he supports @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s plan to disband the NYPD’s notorious Strategic Response Group. www.cityandstateny.com/personality/...

An imam at the funeral speaks out against Islamophobia & Israel's war in Gaza: "We cannot honor Officer Islam today while ignoring the daily pain endured by his community...To our city, our nation: You cannot ask us ot serve and then silence us."

Two days ago, an act of senseless violence took the lives of Officer Didarul Islam, Wesley LePatner, Aland Etienne, and Julia Hyman.

Today, I visited Officer Islam's family and learned of his legacy.

I ask you to join me in in honoring the memory of these four New Yorkers.

Does this answer the NYTimes concerns about how mayor Mamdani will handle a crisis? It turns out that it's helpful to have someone who is not an egotistical freak as mayor responding to a tragedy, centering the victims, comforting family members, supporting real solutions to gun violence.

Not sure what the split is between Manhattan and Brooklyn in this district. Would be interesting to see how that part of the CD voted. Also important to note that @shahanafrombk.bsky.social basically got the Mamdani and Lander votes COMBINED in her re-election in Brad’s old Council District.

Yes indeed! Excited at the prospect of defeating Goldman in our district. The absolute smashing result that @shahanafrombk.bsky.social had in her council district ( much of it in Goldmans CD) gives me some real hope that this can happen. What’s even worse, we could’ve had @yuhline.bsky.social 😑😑😑
