The point is to diminish trust in the electoral system in order to make way for laws and crackdowns that suppress turnout, especially in key places, and to target free speech and assembly in the name of election "security".

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

That’s the point. Lay the ground for emergency powers, laws increasing federal control of elections, troops at selected polling sites, cracking down on mail-in voting, etc. There will also be more of these speeches, to project him as the one true source of info and power.

Give it a full theatrical release cowards @paramountplus

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘AVATAR AANG: THE LAST AIRBENDER’ will be released in select theaters in NY/LA on July 24 for 1 week.

This is in order to qualify the film for awards season.

This is totally nuts and the city should appeal.

The notion that trains are some outmoded, obsolete type of transportation is just nuts. Trains will always have a geometrical advantage over cars in dense areas, even with self-driving cars.

Why take Haaland out unless he's literally dying

People have been predicting for years that the streaming-dominant era of media would recreate cable from first principles but still jarring to watch it happen in real time

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Netflix is considering adding always-on TV channels, like ones that play shows or movies from the same genre, similar to what Tubi and Peacock does. https://t.co/DQXLl7Cva5

Have you heard of a Snickers ice cream bar

[bald ann dowd @ali_sivi]

they should invent a food that sounds appetizing when it's 100 degrees outside

That's supposed to be YOUR job

Philly's 40-year Democratic Chair Bob Brady: "And I cannot understand how come there is such a low turnout. Anybody have any ideas on how to increase turnout let me know" https://t.co/SfiIMClMU4

Mamdani would absolutely dog walk this guy

[Acyn @Acyn]

Watters: You might run against Mamdani?

Portnoy: I would love to run against—if I was going to run, it would be here. Can I win here? I have no idea.

I’ve done a lot of good in NYC, whether it was the Barstool Fund or pizza places, so it wasn’t for show. I’ve had a real job. I’ve done real things, unlike these clown politicians who have never had a job and have never been in the real world for a day

"“The proliferation of skill games is a matter of public safety which must be addressed, and given the timing of this decision, we believe gaming reform is a critical piece of resolving this year’s budget."

A network of separated bike lanes has benefits for people who drive everywhere and never ride bikes. Here's how:

✅ Manages vehicle speeds, which reduces the number of annoying car crashes that make everybody late.

✅ Reduces the number of cars thanks to the people who opt for bicycles. That means less traffic for you to deal with.

✅ Increases your parking options since fewer people are competing with you.

✅ Gives you the ability to drive 25 mph instead of 10 or 15 behind people on bikes.

[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

Public transit is cheap, good for the environment, and you can read instead of focusing on driving

Lord what I wouldn’t give to have any elected official in Philadelphia say something like this

Buying pretzels at the Amish market I grew up going to and the now insane wait times for a log might turn me into a NIMBY

Pathetic turnout, AGAIN, in a Philadelphia primary election. Bob Brady retire bitch!!!

Whole Foods will open one of its smaller Daily Shop stores on South Street, replacing the locally owned South Square Market. https://t.co/p8kRP0klwa

These “tireless workers” that CP Johnson is referencing apparently couldn’t be bothered to get 10 signatures to get on the ballot an honest way. Vote for Mindy if you’re in her division of the 36th!!!
