While I'm a pro indymedia guy, I'm sus of the handful of guys who have been harassing progressive elected officials by live streaming them in public space.

This morning, @noneck.org is in front of @council.nyc.gov to discuss how digital equity and literacy are as important as internet infrastructure. #DigitalEquity #DigitalLiteracy #DataLiteracy beta.nyc/2025/04/29/t...

"The longer that congestion pricing is in place, the more New Yorkers will wonder how they survived without it."

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

1h45m on hold... Weill Cornell + New York-Presbyterian + Columbia all use the same call in number. This is the worst tech support experience I've had to deal with since Sep 2019.

cold.

1h15m since calling... still on hold. I'd really like to email the head of Weill Cornell, but I can't do that. I'm told I have to complain to my physician. My physician take care of me... not my computer. weillcornell.org/contact

55 mins on hold...

I've spent 40 mins on hold to talk to Cornell's MyChart tech support. This is absurd.

My Stonehenge Semi-annual double shadow of the bike. A few (many?) years ago I noticed this phenomenon when leaving work for the commute home. The sun lines up just right between the gap on the right and the windows on the left. OFC it was on the one day w/o a film camera

"You should approach this as a Rorschach Test, of sorts: use it to evaluate what others – particularly those who are trying to sell a vision of education's AI future – see in this news, how they frame it, what, if any, context they provide." 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/executive-di...

I don’t think anyone in tech believed that “prompt engineer” was going to be a real job. Better prompts improve results at the margins, sure, but not so much that years out we need classes of people performing that function and not at scale that replaces anything. www.wsj.com/articles/the...

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

I've seen tweets you wouldn't believe. Server rooms on fire off the rivers of Oregon. I watched databases expire on the dark web. All those moments will be lost in bit rot, like tears in rain. An old social world is dying, & new platforms & protocols struggle to be born. Now is the time of monsters.

they are doing it It calls for an evaluation of all pending proceedings under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which was first passed in 1974 and amended in 1976 to prevent lenders from discriminating against women based on marital status. www.newsweek.com/trump-execut...

The only appropriate response to what Trump is doing is impeachment and removal from office. Elected officials who are not working toward this goal with urgency are helping to destroy the constitution and the rule of law.

As if you couldn't get a better snapshot of corruption.

Zero due process. US citizen deported.

IF Trump shuts down actblue, I'll enjoy the lack of text message spam from random candidates and PACs from across the US. @actblueorg.bsky.social we've all asked you to stop the text messages. Why do you let it happen?

NYC! Join us for a conversation with Ta-Nehisi Coates about his new book The Message, hosted with Dr. Carmen Rojas and presented by the Marguerite Casey Foundation Book Club Tuesday, June 10th at 7:00 pm Symphony Space RSVP for free tickets:

This week, I outline how the Trump Administration is coming after your health care/fitness/menstruation data to understand my neurodivergence. Also, we outline how you should testify in front of @council.nyc.gov to support reviving the Internet Master Plan. #PublicInterestTech #PiTech NYC
