@JohnnyWalsh__ I think there’s a legit historical preservation concern with 200 year old buildings, but I’d like to see the city be more intentional vs letting Wash West homeowners hijack the concept to freeze new construction.
the most sophisticated election fraud operation in American history was carried about by Donald Trump in 2020 when he coordinated across multiple states to submit fraudulent Electoral College votes to Congress in an attempt to overturn or stall the certification of results

colman domingo with amy discussing the city of philadelphia
@TwinkTheory It was a tedious slog through the theory of identities with relatively little discussion of, like, what is actually happening, how common is it, what are the contexts…
I mean yes. This matters a lot. It is extremely bad for you and for the country that you have all done massive epistemic damage to yourselves in this way.
For nearly 100 years, the Second Avenue Subway to East Harlem was a promise.
Under my administration, it’s becoming a reality.
Major construction is now underway to extend the Q train to 125th Street and connect more New Yorkers to faster, more reliable transit.
Hillary Clinton conceded the election immediately. Al Gore challenged Florida's recounting process but accepted SCOTUS' ruling. Neither alleged election fraud. Republicans desperately want you to be as stupid and forgetful as they are.
So much of this tedious discourse is different groups of middle-class white suburban kids arguing about who has “permission” to live in NY. The answer is everyone! Anyone who wants to live here and make a life here can be a New Yorker!
EB White wrote this at a very different time, and it's wrong now, and I'll tell you why.
When he wrote this, moving to New York meant taking physical and financial risks to be in a place where you could fully express your art, your music, or your writing. Moving to New York was a shorthand for a bohemian lifestyle that was intellectually rewarding, but required a proportional intellectual and artistic contribution to the city's culture and its mythology.
Since the late 90s, and the waves of the miserable money-chasing SATC people, "moving to New York" has not been a shorthand or a path to artistic self-determination.
It has been about a wave of transplants from intellectually bankrupt areas who have come to New York to chase money specifically. They do not want to contribute to the city's culture; they are only consumers of it, as well as vampires driving out existing social infrastructure for anything more expensive and money-coded. They are trying to buy their way into a mythology that they are not building with their little marketing and tech email jobs that do nothing to advance New York as a destination.
266,000 jobs under Biden:
“slowed”
“muddled expectations”
“fell short”
172,000 jobs under trump:
“upswing”
“vigorous”
“strong sign for economy”
This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.
@LinkofSunshine dawg they just passed the two person train mandate AGAIN after Hochul vetoed it last session. and it has been edited to explicitly prevent any sort of automation on the IBX
the only dem who voted against this slop is the GOAT @agounardes
