If you’re wondering how a mayor Cuomo would respond to the situation that’s unfolding in LA, this is what he had to say as governor in 2020

The ancient Greek experience of colour does not seem to match our own. How is this possible? Did the Greeks really see the colours of the world differently from the way we do? buff.ly/XcLOH97 #WorldOceansDay

There are ZERO riots. I am in downtown Los Angeles. There are live feeds of everything that was here and what went down in Paramount. Dudes on mini bikes making noise and people holding Fuck Ice signs etc. But no violence from protesters. None. Cannot say the same about the opposition.

One way to be a patriot right now is not to engage in doomerism. These people are fascists and they’re very dangerous. But they’re also weak, undisciplined, and unpopular. And they’re losing.

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn. BLS is suspending access to its restricted data "for the forseeable future." Applies to projects through the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers & onsite projects with BLS. #EconSky

NYC is a wild ride. We need someone in charge who has experience, integrity and real solutions to: 👊fight corruption, ❎end wasteful spending, 🏘️build affordable housing, and 💪stand up to Donald Trump All while keeping their cool. I’m Brad Lander, and I’m running to be your next Mayor.

My first walk over the new Queensboro Bridge dedicated pedestrian path! It’s so nice to be separated from bikes on the other side, but ugh @nyc-dot.bsky.social didn’t lift a finger to make it a nice experience. It’s also unfinished on the Queens side, with no hardening against wayward drivers!

Hey @pressherald.com @bangordailynews.bsky.social @mainepublic.org Here's someone very prominent stating the obvious about Collins! Instead of reprinting her press releases, ask her what she's actually doing

The Ocean is North America's oldest named passenger rail service. Since 1904, it's linked #Halifax to #Montreal, via Sandford Fleming's Intercolonial Railway line. It's a sleeper, and the food, service, and scenery are outstanding. I document our trip in my feature in #London's @thetimes.com 🛤️🧵

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

For everyone who said “We need to keep the filibuster to stop bad Republican bills!” the Republicans just casually nuked the filibuster to pass a bad bill they wanted.

This is a good point. Going after Biden lets these people convince themselves they’re speaking truth to power while simultaneously shrinking in utter cowardice every day while fascism takes over unthreatened by any real press truth telling.

I’ll never forget when Jony Ive worked closely w/ Norman Foster on Apple HQ - a big circle with glass walls that the engineers were bonking into like baby birds - then refused to let any architecture people inside to write about the building, but solicited a review from WIRED’s gadget writer instead

Another tragic example of NYC's cost problem leading to an inability to build... 34th Street (and the other major crosstown arteries) should have streetcar/light rail trains whisking people back and forth with more capacity and better reliability than buses...

This is the Generative AI administration. It's made up of people who think the appearance of knowledge, skill and ability is commensurate with, even superior to, actually having knowledge, skill and ability. Meanwhile they produce incorrect, nonsensical and harmful words, works and outputs.
