β€œWe want to use tech…” screams loser.

I’m in IT and dropped saying anything like that after tech became ubiquitous.

Bob Ross paintings to be auctioned to support public TV stations after federal funding cuts All profits will help public TV stations with licensing fees for popular programs that include "The Best of Joy of Painting" and "America's Test Kitchen."

Thirty paintings created by the bushy-haired, soft-spoken Bob Ross will soon be up for auction to defray the costs of programming for small and rural public television stations suffering under cuts in federal funding. https://to.pbs.org/4nEQMrw

Screw Andrew Cuomo with ad using AI and giving a big FU to city’s vast and essential creative community.

Some other things Cuomo doesn’t know:
What a NYC subway car looks like
How to keep his hands off female staff
How to make gov’t work for all

TY @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, our next mayor

Under Donald Trump, 688 prescription drugs have gotten MORE EXPENSIVE.

And last night, he shut down the government to avoid lowering Americans’ health care costs.

Donald Trump is making your life more expensive.

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

"This is not how the government is supposed to work. We pay federal taxes but get a President who sees us as the enemy and takes away our own money as retaliation.
This has to stop.
"Donald Trump has shown again and again that he is unfit to lead this country. When he's not too busy golfing, he's doing active harm, whether it's sending masked troops into cities or shutting down vital infrastructure projects like this.
"These funds were already approved. And if people can't cross the Hudson to get to work, it will literally destroy our economy.
"We have to show Trump that this isn't okay.
"Yes, New Jersey should sue the Trump administration, but we have to do more. We should be withholding federal taxes, dollar for dollar, to backfill funding that's illegally cut.
The state should also eminent domain
Trump's golf course in Bedminster and build some affordable housing there instead. If the federal government won't stand up for New Jersey, Trenton should."

It’s very disturbing that so many Democratic politicians don’t see this simple fact. The days of appealing to the β€œdecency” of Trump and his Republican cult are gone.

I hate AI with a passion.
It’s a culmination of so much that is wrong with the world. A theft-machine that puts profit and product over people.
It turns out… I can hate it more.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

You know how you'll hear a really terrible singer and think, "they must truly be horrible and have no idea, because no one faking it could be that bad, and anyone who knew would never perform in public"? That's what it's like whenever Hakeem Jeffries does politics.

WTF. The only possible reason I could find victory from the Dems not taking back the House next year is that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social won’t be stepping up to a more important role. He’s a bad leader and a bad communicator, which make him a horrible option as House Speaker.

Breaking: Hit-and-Run Driver Kills Cyclist in Brooklyn - Streetsblog New York City A 32-year-old woman was killed by the driver of a Tesla early on Saturday morning in Brooklyn, police said.

This is a horrible tragedy. Everyone deserves to get home safe in New York City.

There’s no protected bike lane on this street. Mayor Adams has built just a fraction of the protected bike lane miles he's legally required to build.

The result? Dangerous streets like this one.

Tourist killed in hit-and-run in Midtown, suspected driver in custody, police say One person has died after two people were struck by a vehicle in Midtown on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

A tourist was killed, so brutally and callously, right in Midtown, and her husband’s skull fractured. Sounds like drivers were ILLEGALLY blocking the crosswalk and a minivan driver reversed, pinning them against a box truck. Blocking the box is NEVER ENFORCED. This is sickening

German tourist, 50, killed after reversing minivan pins her against truck in Midtown Manhattan A German tourist was killed when she was struck by a reversing driver in Midtown Manhattan right outside the flagship branch of the New York Public Library Wednesday afternoon, police said.

On the same day that the Adams administration implemented a 15-mph speed limit for e-bikes, these poor people were crushed by someone driving around the city with a novelty license plate. NYC needs real leadership, not asinine scapegoating and demagoguery.
