@elonmusk So, as a billionaire, perhaps you should mount a massive mental health initiative, and use your enormous resources to create treatment and housing for the severe mentally ill. Instead of callously whining about the lowest in society and using your wealth for self aggrandizement.

@JustinBrannan …maybe instead of trying to be cute on X and Facebook, you could just explain what is happening to that mess on the 86th Street Business District. And perhaps take some responsibility for it. And maybe issue an apology for failing. .

@JustinBrannan Stop trying to be an Internet personality and do your job for the people of Bay Ridge.

I swear sometimes you’re like the Liberal version of Trump. A former entertainer who thinks that’s also the way to govern. It isn’t

@JustinBrannan National stage? God I hope not. You’re more interested in being an Internet personality and making cute posts on X and Facebook than you are in addressing long standing neighborhood problems.

And I say that as a Democrat.

@1n44n6 @swd2 Probably just his allowance.

@elonmusk Historically, "X" has often been utilized by nefarious people who do not want to be identified.
It will be perfect for the cesspool of ignorance, conspiracy theory, disinformation, bigotry and hate, that Twitter has become.
Fly away birdie. Be free.

I just heard the ringtone of the phone belonging to the senior citizen COVID widow who lives next door to me:

It was Cher’s, “If I Could Turn Back Time”.

With veritable bows and arrows, the indigenous Earthlings have been shooting down the reconnaisance craft of the curious potential colonizers who come from across the great expanse.

We know where this is going.

What used to be considered mental illness, is now considered by some people in certain political circles as "a difference of opinion."

Somebody’s throwing away a helicopter.

I could really use it to make my commute to the Bronx easier. @ Brooklyn, New York https://t.co/aocQRi4BR9

There was a really beautiful girl sitting across from me on the subway today, and I just couldn't take my eyes off of her. https://t.co/f5ykLbQ90Z

@mikeosheaart A mystery...

I am a teaching artist who teaches cartoon and comic book drawing in NYC, and today I found this cool business card on the floor of a classroom of an elementary school in Queens.

Any idea how it got there?

[Alexander Shapiro @ArtistX62]

The kids I teach are so good at keeping their masks on in school and wearing them properly, and understanding why it’s necessary. And most are in kindergarten.
They are still learning, laughing, having fun, and being kids.
I wish many adults would be as mature and responsible.
