AMAB (all Miatas are beautiful) but the ND is the best. NA/NB are too barebones to be a forever car, NC is too big and heavy.

This is wild: only *one quarter* of the New Yorkers who live in the city today were there on 9/11. It's basically an entirely new city. Cities are magic: constantly changing, churning engines of human progress. This is why conservatives hate them.

A City Forgets. Maybe It’s Supposed To.
The New York of today is a different city than the New York of 9/11.

it's a very old rule of moderated digital spaces that you need an "i know it when i see it" clause for harassment or else bad actors will aggressively toe the line without ever technically going over. that's why i don't think the "why cant you give me an exact definition" replies will go anywhere

Article was generous to NDOT / Metro. Who are being gigantic babies about regular people putting out seating for bus riders. While they themselves remove seating at the behest of downtown business interests who don’t want unhoused people to sit down anywhere in public view.

This enables smaller, private communities within Bluesky (think something like a Discord server, subreddit, or message board), all with the decentralization and data ownership we all love, and it's going to be huge for making this a better, happier, healthier, less yelly and shrill place to be.

A Housing Fight New York Doesn’t Need

Mayor David Dinkins once described our city as a gorgeous mosaic. Today, I saw that mosaic in the Hindus and Christians, Muslims and Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs across the Indian diaspora who have helped make our city what it is. To all of them, I say: it is an honor to do that work alongside you.

Instead of debating whether Summer Streets needs physical protection from vehicles, we should ask a different question: How can the city provide that protection without ruining the joy of Summer Streets? The answer starts with getting police cars out of the way. buff.ly/8wRENf6

Housing folks: can we show support for @mayor.nyc.gov’s nomination of John Mangin for Board of Standards & Appeals? Voters spoke loudly for more housing in November. Mangin has the ideal track record to deliver on that mandate. Hope my CM @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social is on board! #housingcrisis

I'm sure WatchHouse is ok, but there's also plenty of great specialty coffee spots all over the city! If you want to make an activity out of it, there's a great cluster at the Willamsburg/Bushwick border you can walk between. Sey, Loveless, Three Legged Cat, Dayglow, and Obscure just to name a few

I have no clue whether this particular coffee shop is any good, but some lots of coffee are rare and hard-to-produce! That costs money. If you don't want it, don't buy it!

“Democratic candidate X is going to deservedly lose in November because (right wing talking point)” is a pretty bad thing to say pre-primary but it’s immensely dumb and toxic to say post-primary

hot take: no one actually wants 'authenticity' in politicians: people want a performance that is both competent and has them as the target audience. lots of politicians derided as wooden and stiff are being more 'authentic' than politicians who are personable and likable, who are performing

perhaps we should view nazi tattoos as disqualifying from here on out. i kind of assumed we'd already view them as disqualifying but was unpleasantly surprised so maybe from here we could all agree not to downplay nazi tattoos since they seem pretty indicative of broad disregard for human dignity

fixed your headline
A hit song on the Billboard 100 charts is termed *$k$-good* if it is _ever_ in a weekly top-$k$, and *$k$-immediate* if it _debuts_ in the top-$k$.


An artist is *$(n,k)$-Olivian* if their $n$ first $k$-good hits are all also $k$-immediate.
