Perhaps the most erotic advert I've seen in the U.S. (vs. Europe which has a very different baseline)

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Backlit world map that could very well be hand-cut, with the entirely of Europe/Asia labeled as "Russia", among various other discrepancies. Japan is completely omitted, and the Suez and Panama Canals have become veritable straits.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

(In case it wasn't clear β€” this is Bluesky after all β€”Β I'm being sarcastic. The only difference in the last 8 months is a faint reduction in total volume of car hornsong leaking into my apartment in Chelsea from 16th St, and maybe even that is just my imagination.)

truly shocking how manhattan has become a shell of its former self, just 8 months after congestion pricing took effect. grocery store shelves have emptied, rents have dropped, it's like those dystopian movies. the haters were right.

Mayor Must Implement Council Laws Expanding Rental Vouchers, Appeals Court Rules - City Limits City Hall has so far refused to carry out the package of bills passed by the Council in 2023, which would expand CityFHEPS eligibility to any income eligible household at risk of eviction, among other...

In 2023, the City Council passed a package of laws expanding access to housing vouchers. Eric Adams vetoed it.

Then the Council overrode his veto. The Mayor refused to implement it. Now a court says he has to.

What a ridiculous waste of time during a housing crisis.

It must be disappointing for so many non-NYC residents to be unable to threaten to leave if Mamdani wins (again). Cuomo, for one.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

β€˜Magic Tree House’ Author, β€˜Calvin and Hobbes’ among hundreds of Tennessee book bans - PEN America The removals in Tennessee are the result of a growing political movement to control information through book banning.

How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers."

Let's go sit in the grass and crack open "The Days are Just Packed."

He resigned because a report *he requested* found extremely credible evidence that he harassed about a dozen women. He stepped down in disgrace because he would have been impeached. He's corrupt and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near City Hall. Don't rank Cuomo.

Through the window glare we can see a very empty pizza takeout counter with an importunate mattress leaning against the bar waiting (ever so long) to be served. The mattress is old and well-used but also encased in plastic, and its presence in a food-service establishment is not explained.

A very empty bar with inverted barstools resting atop the counter. Less window glare but also not a great photo, though you get the idea.
