Sure, yes, rank 5 candidates. That’s good and important advice. But it seems to me that the much more important message for this ranked choice primary is: DO NOT RANK CUOMO Even if that means you’re only ranking 4, not giving him ANY space on your ballot is WAY more important than ticking 5 boxes.

ARE YOU SICK OF SO MUCH OF NEW YORK SMELLING LIKE OLD PISS?? ZOHRAN MAMDANI (& HONESTLY BRAD LANDER TOO) ARE THE ONLY CANDIDATES SUFFICIENTLY DIVORCED FROM THE PROFIT MOTIVE TO GIVE PEOPLE A PROPER PLACE 2 PISS SO U DONT SMELL IT zohranfornyc.com

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

american watching british panel shows: it’s just funnier. and more human. they know how to laugh at themselves brit watching british panel shows: he’s a terf. everyone here went to cambridge, he’s married to the producer. he should be in jail for tax evasion. the wrong guy on 8 out of 10 cats died

I wanted to avoid this, but I don't see an alternative after today's stream. I've added a PC for crowdfunding on my Throne wishlist. It's needed for streams, and my work. Help is appreciated, even if it's just sharing and boosting the signal. 💙 throne.com/artificerind...

NEW: Judge Farbiarz, now in writing, orders the release of Mahmoud Khalil on bail TODAY. AND—happy surprise—he reconsiders and adds a line forbidding electronic monitoring, as Judge Sessions did for Rümeysa Öztürk. He also forbids monetary bond due today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

Tennessee's youth transition ban is straightforwardly discriminatory. It bans puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries *only* when they are used to affirm a trans identity www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/113/Bi...

Every now and then, a post from the other site makes me laugh so hard I forget my usual, "I don't give a fuck what's happening on X," rule. Every time he's like, "if you do this, you'll be suspended" is always, "they're being mean to me on the site I bought specifically to be liked."

Proud to be a Luddite. From this article: www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what...

We should be able to keep two thoughts together in our heads at the same time: 1) Attacking Iran would be really dangerous. But also 2) Attacking Iran would be extremely dangerous.

Transgender people deserve to dictate our own lives and futures. No court decision can change who we know we are.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

From the Palestinian poet Marwan Mokhul: “In order for me to write poetry that isn’t political, I must listen to the birds… …and in order to listen to the birds, the warplanes must be silent.”

You're afraid I might say something mean on bluesky. I'm afraid they'll murder me or bomb my gender clinic. We are not the same.

1) Yes you absolutely must turn on the sound. 2) You may also want to sit down. 3) You may also want to preemptively muzzle yourself if anyone is asleep. 4) I think the unsung hero of this clip is the middle judge. Watch her expression the second time around.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

⚡️'We are determined to increase pressure on Russia' — Macron says as EU ready to toughen sanctions. The EU and its allies are ready to toughen sanctions on Russia, French President Emmanuel Macron said on the sidelines of the G7 summit on June 17.

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

Why is it that legal loopholes can only be exploited by bad guys to do bad things, and not good people who want to do good things?

Hello Everyone -- We have an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. Please read the statement below:

My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Abroad the U.S. is in the verge of bombing a country without cause. At home masked agents are arresting officials and disappearing our people. There is no disentangling war overseas and fascism at home. Everyone who opposes fascism must oppose Trump illegally attacking Iran.

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

There is such a deep and profound sickness among the liberal media elite such as Ezra Klein who turn their annoyance about people on Twitter into an entire worldview for why liberalism failed. Sarah McBride plays right into that and endorses it.

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

Gull Dukat. Another one of those mental images I had to exorcise by drawing it. #art #StarTrek #DS9

hi, cis folks! the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people! if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

The man who impersonated law enforcement, shot 4 people, killed two, but only because he was apprehended before he could get to the other 70 names on his list, is not being charged with terrorism.

Seriously risking World War 3 as a distraction for Zionist genocidal land theft is about as Israeli as it gets.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

Over the next 8 days, you won't be able to turn on your TV, check your mail or watch a YouTube video without seeing a lie about our campaign. But we have the people. And the only thing more powerful than all this billionaire cash are New Yorkers talking to their neighbors.

When I write a review, I always aim to capture the ethos of the game in the writing whether that's by mirroring its tone or taking a structural swing. For MindsEye, I can only offer you my raw ground beef review. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/minds...

The last wires connecting Gaza to the world were bombed. I walked kilometers under drones, just to catch a weak eSIM signal and tell you: we’re still alive — barely. Please, speak for us. Share our voice. Don’t let the silence win. 🍉💔
