IT IS THE MAYOR’S #1 JOB TO MARCH IN ANY AND ALL PARADES.

If you think the problem in this city is that my rent is too low, vote for Andrew Cuomo.

If you know the problem in this city is that your rent is too high, vote for me.

My husband just described Curtis Sliwa as “if the New York Post was a person” 💀

THANK YOU. It’s a Major Award!

After over 200 hours of gameplay, I finally made it to Act 2 of Hollow Knight: Silksong 🥹 Someone please congratulate me on this major life achievement. Also why do I love a game I am so objectively bad at?

I’m so tired.

Sherma must be protected at all costs 🥹

And Hornet is nothing if not elegant 🤩

An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age…

How Wealthy Towns Keep People With Housing Vouchers Out Section 8 vouchers should give low-income people the opportunity to live outside poor communities. But discriminatory landlords, exclusionary zoning and the federal government’s hands-off approach lea...

Crystal Carter went to tour an apartment. Rent was $1,500 a month.

“I’ll be paying with a Section 8 voucher,” she said.

“Yeah,” the landlord said. “I don’t do Section 8.”

This is what housing voucher discrimination looks like 👇

A tireless advocate for animals and the planet -- Jane Goodall's life was a gift to us all.

there are two kinds of people:

either you read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in high school and it lodged into your brain forever, not just because it has the best opening paragraph in the history of literature but because Tea Cake's death from rabies is so FUCKING horrifying, or you did not

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.

If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.

It's just a question of political will.

I don’t get the hate/complaints about Silksong. It’s a beautiful, worthy successor to Hollow Knight and yeah, it’s hard AF, but that will just make it last longer. I’m in no rush.

MOOPSY!

Definitely wasn’t me forgetting my apple watch and waving my wrist fruitlessly at the OMNY sensor this morning. 😳

Yesssssss!!!! Also this game is beautiful and amazing and I love it already.

AI text generators like the publicly-accessible ChatGPT and Bard produce concise, generic writing. Most of our students don’t write as concisely or as generically. Invite and appreciate students’ accented writing and unique perspectives on course content, and you are more likely to see their authentic work. Acknowledge AI and speak honestly about it in the context of school. Whatever benefits it may offer now or in the future, it may be helpful to point out to students that using tools like ChatGPT uncritically to think through course assignments for you means you may not experience and learn what you came to FIT to experience and learn. Further, students should know that AI-generated text will often be inaccurate, especially when asked to cite authentic examples or source material.

Yikes. The writing & speaking studio at my college has really thoughtful guidance on AI.

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

You should play the lotto or something—you’re clearly extremely lucky today!!

I can’t believe i voted for this guy ~20 years ago just because he was standing outside the Franklin Ave subway stop and shook my hand. I’m sorry everyone.

Those inserts are called godets.

Ok but my Japanese UV blocking mini umbrella lives in my purse and gets used, rain and shine. The larger umbrellas all languish in my hall closet. So I would say my mini umbrella is 100% more effective at blocking sun and rain because I actually have it when I need it.
