Spike in homelessness followed Cuomo’s move to cut off voucher funds as governor
The shelter population spiked 35 percent in less than three years after the end of the Advantage program.
And on homelessness, for that single mom and her kids he’s crying crocodile tears for:
In a spat w/Bloomberg, Cuomo eliminated state funding for a rental voucher program known as Advantage, that helped people move out of shelter.
The result: homelessness spiked.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.
Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.
Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

Excerpt from this article: https://sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/soul-stripping
In 1990, Kyrgyz writer Chinghiz Aitmatov popularized the term "mankurt": a former human with an enslaved mind.
Big Tech wants to make us mankurts and AI is their weapon.

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Un panneau annonçant: "Mes micro-troubles psychologiques."
FRÉNÉSIE MÉNAGÈRE DÉFLECTIVE
Quand on évite le travail important en se lançant dans de nombreuses tâches ménagères secondaires.
(On voit Boulet ranger des cartons, en sueur)
Boulet: "Oh, ce placard ! Je ne l'avais pas rangé en 10 ans ! J'ai dix pages à faire, mais ceci ne peut plus attendre !"
ULTRAVIGILANCE HYPNAGOGIQUE
Le fait de systématiquement se réveiller spontanément quelques minutes avant son alarme pour ne pas l'entendre sonner.
(Boulet se réveille en panique dans son lit à 6:58)
APNÉE SYMPATHIQUE
Le fait de retenir sa respiration devant son écran quand le personnage d'un film est sous l'eau.
(On voit Boulet, écarlate, les joues gonflées douloureusement, assis les bras croisés devant son écran)

Xcel Energy tells residential consumers to conserve energy on hot days, during PEAK solar generation hours when we SHOULD be using that electricity for cooling, but doesn’t say boo to crypto miners or chatbot data centers.
Reductions in individual consumption pale next to corporate waste.
