Last time I was here (McCarren Park), the grass was GREEN and LUSH. Now look at it! This is what happens when you elect a SOCIALIST as MAYOR!
now reading
thinking about how Obama was elected with an enormous mandate and we got uh, the banks bailed out and subsidies for health insurance companies
meanwhile the right gets the whole fever dream wish list
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

"And they're trying to fix these near logistics hubs, where it's easy to move people in and out of the city. So we think that they want to -- they have -- ICE officials have stated that their objective is to make the system of detention and deportation more efficient."

The U.S. torpedoed a ship w/ 180 crew that was 2k miles from Iran
It had just been in a joint exercise that....the US had also been in.
The ship “thought it was safe in international waters,” said Hegseth, “instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,”
Just 32 survivors.

on the bright side, the increased likelihood of nuclear war has made me less concerned about AI’s socioeconomic consequences
The UN, though in Manhattan, is on international land, not American. Also a pretty central tenet of diplomacy is “we will not take advantage of proximity to murder your people” for reasons that should be very obvious.
congrats CkOTT!

Reading @dbessner.bsky.social’s introductory chapter to his and @mbrenes.bsky.social’s new edited volume.
From the intro: “The central tension of Cold War liberals’ domestic project was that progress came at the cost of liberalism.”
just watched IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT
great film
Inside this latest Trump-Mamdani meeting: -Last time the two met, Trump asked him to return with ideas to build big things. Mamdani came back with a massive housing proposal -Mamdani's team created mock headlines to show Trump how such a project would be received. He was "very enthusiastic." -Mamdani pushed for release of Columbia student detained today, Trump calls him later to tell him she's being released -Mamdani gives Susie Wiles a list of four other students he wants help with, all targeted in pro-Palestinian protests https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-zohran-mamdani-new-york-housing-3835daca395dbe46c2f3da2433ec24f4 Quote Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Fascinating
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
HEATED RIVALRY has given people a noble savage view of hockey players. This is a necessary corrective.

With ICE conducting warrantless arrests and shuttling detainees around the country too chaotically for DOJ to keep up, judges are increasingly looking to the penalty box.
Minnesota may have been the tipping point, but judges in CA, NY and TX aren’t far behind.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is again flooding the airwaves and social media with snappy videos of himself in a custom Carhartt jacket, warning New Yorkers to stay safe. He is again holding news conferences at the city’s emergency operations headquarters, surrounded by top aides in outerwear bearing agency emblems. And he is again at the helm of a government operation that, by virtue of its complexity and general unwieldiness, can lend itself to people falling through the cracks.
The tone of contempt here, in a news update, is disgraceful. "How dare Mamdani and his team...uh...wear those clothes and use social media to try to prevent bad things from happening when...um...bad things could still happen in a situation like this!" GTFO.
Mamdani agonizing over ordering drone strikes on cars violating the ban on non-essential travel
Just finished The Americans. Great show.
