Hey, @nytimes.com. You know that narcissistic sociopaths don’t grieve, right?

Hey, @governor.ny.gov, it’s time to have a real conversation about creative ways to withhold our blue state taxes.

I have no idea why @repdangoldman.bsky.social responds to constituent mail this way (“an outside party organization”), but if I contact my congressperson through @indivisible.org, its not because I’m politically naive or uninformed.

So in between everything else that’s going on, I just published The Moys of New York and Shanghai with @ucpress.bsky.social. It’s a biography of six Chinese American siblings that Kirkus calls “a soap opera in the best sense of the term.” Available now! #ChineseAmericanhistory #biography

Always exciting when the subways go awry and the @mta.info is this helpful 😬

NYT has already altered this, but either way, we are way past 25th Amendment territory here. Utter lunacy that the GOP can rein in—if they had a spine

#NoKings NYC. Waiting to move but soooo many people. Interesting sighting: former mayor Bill Deblasio wearing a “hot girls for Zohran” T-shirt…

@nytimes.com really reporting the most important story of the day here. I’m expecting multiple pieces on Joe Biden’s mental acuity too.🙄

Got this fundraising text from Eric Adams’ campaign today. I asked that my cash be delivered in a Fritos bag, since I dislike sour cream and onion chips

Hey, @nytimes.com . Stop sanewashing Dear Leader. He is not basing this on “accounts” of anything. It is just an excuse to grab power.

Apparently that agenda is for people to die needlessly

Cuomo? Worked for him once. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. 0/5 stars (and rankings)

Slow going in Manhattan. So many people marching that it took us an hour to go a block and a half #nokings

“Small hands” ?!?!Once more, @nytimes.com , you need to do better than this. Much, much better.

Happy #MayDay from Manhattan, where thousands of us marched after a long day at work.

One aspect of this article is maddening: the fact that the NYT as usual defines “campuses” as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and (for geographical diversity?) Washington University. Because public universities just educate 99.9% of students, so they don’t matter…

A photo from Punchbowl, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. This plaque honors Japanese American soldiers who died in World War II.

Just one example of why I’m an active voice extremist.

Dear Leader attacking anyone else’s morality is sick and laughable all at once.

Hey, @nytimes.com, the correct term is “illegal.” Other correct phrases include “break the law,” “violate the constitution,” or “unconstitutional and un-American.”
