When Mayor Mamdani was in the Democratic primary, I ranked him second (behind Brad Lander). I had moved from NYC before the general election, but I vociferously supported Mamdani over Cuomo. Many Jewish friends asked how I could “support an anti-Semite”. I responded, “I wouldn’t and I’m not”.

It is sort of like if my client asked me to complete a task and I was just like "Here's an even better idea: you do it!" Which now that I type it out, my god, it is actually inspired

Yeah MAHA is mostly antivax weirdos but let’s not forget that ‘reduce environmental toxins that impact public health’ is indeed one of the oldest planks of progressive public policy in the U.S.

We have enterprise Copilot at work. When we got it I thought maybe it could clean up some broken formatting in a Microsoft Word document, because it is, you know, Microsoft Copilot. It went poorly.

A camera captures the moment a Shahed drone falls down after being intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses. These air defenses are protecting innocent civilians from the russian air threats that target them. Help us get more of them — help save more lives: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

They’ll say they just want a Christian country but turn around & deport Haitians & Mexican. Then they just want a country of English speakers, or job creators, but the b they are after South Asians. The longer you delay just identifying them as racists the greater their advantage

Climate change is as straightforward as it gets: Democrats vote to address it and Republicans vote not to. There's a weird tic among the pundit class where they think saying "it's more complicated than that" is the intelligent stance on everything but sometimes it's not complicated!

Yeah, put yourself in a Palestinian’s shoes for just 5 minutes and idk how you don’t see it as colonialism. Whatever the logic or rationale behind it, all of a sudden a bunch of people came and started taking over you and your neighbors’ homes. And I’d be pissed if that were happening to me.

This is under the radar presumably because no one has gotten on a plane to the U.S. (yet) but a potentially enormous disaster in a region that lacks the resources to handle it

Trump started a war that Biden intentionally did not start, and in fact told Bibi to fuck off about. And this fact has broken the brains of the weakest minded on this app. Because it definitively proves Biden was the better choice than Trump, and they fucked up and caused way, way more harm.

Now I can just talk to the parasocial people on here, or text my friends, or even call them on my own personal phone away from prying ears. And I haven’t been bored in two decades. There is always something to scroll. It’s all very unsatisfying, but it’s enough to keep us from being desperate
