The lady with the funny laugh was going to give Americans buying their first homes $25,000 each... and it would cost 100 billion over 10 years.

Trump just gave 3X that amount to Iran. 👍

I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.

🇺🇸Trump has stated 55 times that he defeated Iran.

🇺🇸Trump has stated 35 times that Iran is destroyed.

🇺🇸Trump has stated 38 times that a deal is imminent.

🇺🇸Trump has stated 25 times that the Strait of Hormuz is open.

Elect a clown, expect a circus.

Yes, this is genuinely insane.

Spending billions to launch GPUs into space that age like milk is the sign of someone having a psychotic break.

This idea was invented out of thin air when Elon wanted to get rid of his failing AI company and needed a reason for SpaceX to buy it.

No where in the Constitution does it allow the federal government to completely surrender the states to a foreign nation.

Is this not fucking treason bro?

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s business partners, the Alexander brothers, have been convicted on 19 counts of sex trafficking.

It’s odd how often sex offenders appear in the Trump family’s inner circle.

I like to think of the Prospect Park Loop as a sort of transportation version of the Stanford Prison Experiment, in which cyclists finally have the same powers as their tormentors — cars — and behave exactly like them in every way.

Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years

First-degree felony. Life without parole.

Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.

No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.

NYC weekends really do feel rainier... I ran more data and built a full data investigation to see if the pattern is real.

Across 2,192 days (6yrs now!) of weather data, NYC rain rates by day of week look like this:

Mon: 27.8%
Tue: 32.9%
Wed: 31.8%
Thu: 34.5%
Fri: 38.0%
Sat: 35.8%
Sun: 32.3%

Friday is the rainiest day of the week.

You are not imagining it.

The interesting part is the possible chain reaction behind it.

NYC’s PM2.5 air pollution appears to peak midweek, with Wednesday averaging 8.5 µg/m³, roughly 23% higher than Sunday’s 6.9.

Those particles can act as cloud condensation nuclei, which may help clouds form and intensify under the right atmospheric conditions.

With a 2–3 day lag, that points to a plausible pattern:

Midweek pollution buildup → late-week cloud formation → Friday/Saturday rain risk.

But the weather does not start in NYC.

Storm systems often form or organize farther west, then move east with the prevailing flow. In the data, the rain pattern appears to travel city by city:

Chicago: Mon, 33.2%
Pittsburgh: Wed, 34.1%
Philadelphia: Thu, 35.2%
NYC: Fri, 38.0%

The storm track takes roughly 3.5 days to travel about 790 miles.

Which means it can arrive in New York right as the weekend begins.

NYC also is not only dealing with its own emissions. A meaningful share of its PM2.5 can come from upwind sources.

The I-95 corridor, including Philly, Trenton, Newark, and surrounding metro areas, sits directly southwest of NYC, which matters because prevailing winds often move pollution northeast.

In other words, NYC may be the end of the pipeline.

One of the most interesting signals came from COVID.

During lockdowns, the weekly pollution rhythm weakened sharply as traffic collapsed. With far fewer vehicle crossings and less commuter activity, the normal 7-day aerosol cycle became much less pronounced.

When traffic came back, the pattern returned.

That does not prove tailpipes alone are making it rain every weekend. Weather is complicated. But the data suggests a real and testable relationship between traffic, pollution, atmospheric particles, storm timing, and late-week rainfall.

The thesis:

Our weekly human activity cycle may be helping shape NYC’s weekly rain cycle.

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

Allow me to educate you on how capital markets work, Councilmember.

When SpaceX goes public and joins the S&P 500 our pension funds will own it through indexing. That will make our City workers and retirees major shareholders. (We have over $80B in index funds.)

My job will be to fight for our shareholder rights. It will not be good for us—or capital markets—if there is no independent board, no ability to fire the CEO, no right of shareholder judicial action etc etc.

You are free to bow down to Elon Musk, Councilmember. I serve no one but NYC’s employees and retirees.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.
