what the hell is in the water there

@MostlyMonkey i kid but it has always been funny to me that we have a mechanism for protecting the market from irrational fear but not one for irrational exuberance

This morning we are introducing COGE — the Commission on Government Efficiency. This Commission will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people. New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.

my impression of current fidi is lots of mid-20s renters … hell there’s a full-block building in 10007 that’s essentially a new grad dormitory
@owenbroadcast Stars and bars == I am a Southerner (~7-10th gen probably) and am VERY proud of it
Israel == I support the ~Judeo-Christian~ world over the Arab Muslim world

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
