Last night, @bradlander.bsky.social and I exposed Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace on the debate stage. With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

In new work @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, we show that neighborhoods with a high share of residents of color have much higher rates of pedestrian & cycling crashes than predominately white neighborhoods: www.urban.org/urban-wire/p... Traffic injuries are a major source of health disparities by race.

The “strongly approve” floor is lower than I thought tbh. And I don’t think we’ve found it yet.

Going to actually canvass again, even though it’s literally my least favorite activity in the world

Thinking about how the car-centric nature of Mario Kart World hurts its residents. Toads have to cross a road where there is racing going on just to get from the lifeguard station to the water.

Why exactly does he get special treatment? This isn’t doing much to dispel the belief that the media fix is in.

large cohort of people on here categorically refuse to entertain this point but Mark is correct. AI water use is a rounding error compared to cattle feed and it will likely fall as models become more efficient. the problem with AI is what it does

this is really grim reading - it seems climate change really has already disrupted the life cycles of insects and is wiping them out globally - it doesn't seem to be pesticide use. I would not have guessed at such sensitivity to small climatic changes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I think it’s kind of interesting that so many cultural and political elites decided “learning loss” from remote schooling during a pandemic was so severe it was worth ignoring medical safety, while actual learning loss from AI is pervasive and growing and they all want to impose more of it on us.

This tweet still breaks my brain. He killed two people in a car due to negligence and was sentenced to three years in prison, a penalty completely in line (if not more lenient) than American law

Thinking about how I use my legal name to defend Tyga on a prominent rap blog and have been called out for it irl several times. The pains of defending a consistent 8/10 LA rapper who deserves dozens of Grammy nominations

very much like Trump, the media, which badly wants Cuomo to win as a last-ditch effort to force conservative governance on NYC, presents a fictional competent version of Cuomo that the man or his own campaign cannot.

All the things the Oracle of Summers told you for three straight years were happening under Joe Biden are <actually> now happening under Donald Trump

This week, the GOP slid an amendment into the budget reconciliation process that would ban US states from enacting laws that govern AI. This of course was not an aberration—it’s the direct result of Silicon Valley lobbying efforts, and big tech’s union with Trump and the Republican Party.

So a Mayor Cuomo will demonize delivery workers and announce periodic crackdowns on e-bikes, never addressing the root causes of why so many delivery workers ride the way the do because he takes a ton of money from the app companies. Don't rank Andrew Cuomo.

I feel like social media is an experiment that has been proven to be empirically bad

Very good rundown of all the reasons Andrew Cuomo was a disaster for the city as governor and would be an even bigger one as mayor. Please spread the word: Do not rank Cuomo. There are very competent people running, especially Brad Lander, who deserve people's votes. Cuomo does not.

As Democrats slowly mount a resistance against Trump’s second administration, there is no worse person to elevate than a shameless self-promoter with an inflated sense of his political gifts and accomplishments. newrepublic.com/article/1949...
