I've said for years he is suis generis. None of his potential successors has even 1/10th the pull with the average chud voter. They're all just waiting for him to be gone so they can start shivving one another

I love these but sadly they would never work in NYC because most of our streets are WAY too narrow :(

Hitler was very clear that he used the word "socialism" to hoodwink people into voting for his party. Despite the name, the Nazi movement was violently anti-marxist. North Korea's real name is "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea." They are neither Democratic nor a Republic.

I ride my bike over that bridge like 4x/week. It needs to be repaired/replaced SO BADLY but the last time they did anything it took 6+ months and the entire path was closed from 168th north. It's a gorgeous area but that thing is falling apart :(

How about doing a credit check on everyone in the apartment without permission or informing the tenant and evicting anyone who had their names on a mortgage (even if it was cosigning mom's mortgage in Florida)?

You mean the enormous one that doesn't collapse, weighs 8 pounds, and breaks instantly the moment it hits the wind? Or the $800 one that actually works but still drips water everywhere? Hard pass still

Ben May @benmay.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

a) I'm 6' 3" and using one just redistributes the wetness to my bottom half b) Carrying one and not losing it and having it drip everywhere sucks c) It's a fact of life that when it rains you get wet. I'll use one if I'm carrying something I need too keep dry, or if I'm in a suit, other f em

The "protected" bike lanes aren't much better. Peds wandering into them mid-block without looking, trapped between the curb and parked cars, cyclists ride both way on them, etc. 20MPH limit in NYC means I'm back to riding in the street with cars, tickets be damned. Safer for everyone

I'm still mad at James for cracking down on my scumbag landlord - with an accompanying press announcement - only to silently settle for a pittance later. She never went after the big boss either (who ran for office in CT later as GOP and lost!) www.multifamilydive.com/news/nyc-lan...

NYC landlords pay $4M total to settle rent control, kickback allegations

The 29 companies were involved in a scheme to deregulate rent-stabilized apartments, according to the state’s attorney general.

Absolutely spot-on. I can't stand sand - it gets into everything

I'll take a slightly-less-sinister possible explanation: The university's lawyers are afraid of liability around losing funding. It's insane that they're asking this, but this could be seen as a rational response to (admittedly insane) incentives

"Your home has never been more valuable!" "Home prices are down 30% over 2 years." Both of these things can be true, apparently lol

This has been the case for a long time. If you're a shrink, the ONLY thing you have to bill for is the "doctor office visit" CPT code. You have to have a whole back-office staff to deal with insurance. It's easier and cheaper to just require self-pay

I live in an NYC neighborhood that has TONS of bodega cats. People will cut a bitch that messes with them. When a pet store's cat disappeared years ago there were flyers (FIVE VARIANTS) posted all over the place for months

not exactly. Adderall is dextroamphetamine and meth is methamphetamine. The addition of the methyl group to the amphetamine molecule allows it to pass the blood-brain barrier much more quickly and in larger quantities. They're chemically and pharmacologically different

and 75% of those who remain either live in coops or are rent-stabilized. :) I was here on 9/11 and pretty much the only reason I still am is because I fall into the latter group

Ben May @benmay.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Agree pretty hard with this. There should be a self-maintained appliance for this that is open-source.

writing your passwords in a little physical notebook is probably safer than either. Without physical access to the book nobody can find your passwords, and a notebook cannot be hacked :)

Do you mean inference vs training? I use AI for work with some regularity and I'm not sure what this distinction is.

Dude Sweden and Finland joined NATO _after_ Russia attacked Ukraine and Russia didn't do anything. Russia WITHDREW its forces from its borders with Finland to send them to Ukraine. The idea that Russia attacked Ukraine because of NATO is a joke

Are you stupid? Putin specifically has refused to negotiate.
