I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?
Days after a group of mainly American investors approved by President Trump took over control of TikTok’s U.S. operations, some users now say the app is censoring and limiting their content. https://to.pbs.org/4k18gNO
Are we doing this? What have we done?
Happy birthday Lucky!
This is great!
Vote NYC.
It's wild that most of the content I see over on Twitter/X about Teen Vogue is people making fun of people posting about Teen Vogue on Bluesky. I'm not sure people understand how powerful Teen Vogue's political reporting has been over the past 10 years or so.
Hmm. How...would one go about this?
Please, when sharing toolkits or other things to post, please share a PNG and alternate text. We cannot post PDFs and not having to recreate alt text would be very helpful. Thanks.
Ah. A nice 137 degree October Brooklyn day.
Great show (Brooklyn)!
We recently joined the Advocating for Justice show on @WBAI, hosted by Arthur Schwartz (CIDNY's general counsel). Featuring guests from @nylpi.bsky.social, @nyccomptroller.bsky.social, @nyclu.org, 504 Democratic Club, www.disabilityhistorynyc.com, & more.

I don't think this EA acquisition/privatization thing is good for a lot of reasons. The people who will be hurt the most are the staff who make the games, then gamers.
If you're starting a new studio or even a game only, and need business (not $), marketing, comms, etc. help. I'm happy to help PT.
So this is why I don't have @news12.bsky.social anymore. @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social is great, but New Yorkers should have access to both.

I use a lot of dashes when I write. I don't know what to tell you.
Was that Buffalo/Baltimore game the best football game I've ever seen?
Health experts say that for vaccines to do their job, countries need to bolster their efforts to counter disinformation and prioritize support to low-income countries that are battling diseases — from production to distribution. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

What is the implication of this for insurance? Will insurance cover these vaccines in New York (and Massachusetts, Colorado, etc.)?

BREAKING, from NY Playbook PM: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid vaccines to New Yorkers who request them.
The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
I love music, man.
At @cidnyinc.bsky.social we were able to help make mail-in ballots more accessible throughout New York State. Anyone else have insight to share with @juliametraux.bsky.social?
President Donald Trump says homeless people in the nation’s capital will be moved far from the city as part of his federal takeover of policing in the District of Columbia and crackdown on crime. https://to.pbs.org/471a9Wx
I'd be very curious to learn how this paywall thing is working for CNN.
