Mayor Mamdani Delivers Address Marking America’s 250th Birthday https://t.co/301EaUv9mc

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:

"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.

"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.

"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.

"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.

"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.

"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

Mamdani is what Obama was supposed to be: an East African Muslim socialist with great rhetorical skills that is reviving New Deal liberalism

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Justin J. Pearson: “If the Republican Party is gonna be the party licking the boot of the billionaires who are taking our land, polluting our water, and taking our jobs, then let us be the party of the working class in rural, suburban, and urban America alike. If the Republican Party is gonna be the party of AI taking away our jobs, the party of corporate handouts and blank checks for foreign wars, let us be the party to deliver an increase to the minimum wage. Let us be the party to deliver universal healthcare”

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks on finding his wife on dating app Hinge, revealing that he fell in love with her at first sight, and says they both ended up deleting the app after meeting each other ❤️‍🩹🙌

“I think I was in love from the moment I saw her photo. I screenshotted her Hinge profile before she even matched back… I’m very much a romantic… And then when you meet the love of your life, to actually be living what felt like a fantasy when you first saw their face, it’s hard to believe.”

🚨 AWESOME! NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani drops a massive bombshell!

He confirms delivery workers now have the absolute right to use bathrooms at any business they pick up from.

He also reveals the historic deployment of COOL Vans to actively save homeless New Yorkers!

Death defying climb to hang a banner about the power of love and then proposing is the kind of love nonchalant culture wants you to believe is dead

In 2024, Nintendo declared war on emulators.

March 4. Yuzu paid Nintendo $2.4 million, deleted its code, and handed over its domain.

October 1. Ryujinx got a phone call. The GitHub organization vanished overnight.

May 2024. Nintendo filed 8,535 DMCA takedowns to scrub Yuzu code from every fork.

By 2026, Nintendo has collected $6 million in emulator settlements.

Every major Switch emulator is dead.

But Nintendo has a problem. His name is Zurdi.

In March 2023, one year before the war started, he quietly built RomM.

RomM is not an emulator. It's a ROM manager. It scans your legally-dumped game files, pulls metadata from IGDB, MobyGames, and Screenscraper, fetches box art from SteamGridDB, and pulls your achievements from RetroAchievements.

Then it lets you play in your browser through EmulatorJS.

Nintendo's own top IP lawyer admitted on the record in January 2025 that this is legal. Emulators only become illegal when they bypass encryption. RomM doesn't. It just organizes what you already own.

9,114 stars. AGPL-3.0. 400+ platforms supported. NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, GameCube, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Genesis, Atari, DOS, arcade, Flash games through Ruffle.

Official apps for Playnite on Windows. Argosy launcher on Android. Grout for muOS handhelds and the Anbernic devices. Sync plugins for RetroArch, Steam Deck, and Syncthing.

Multi-disk games. DLCs. ROM hacks. Patches. Manuals. Tag filtering. Share your library with friends with permission levels.

Made the front page of Hacker News.

Sony deleted 2,000 PS3, Vita, and PSP games from its store. Nintendo took down every Switch emulator in two years. Your digital library was never yours.

Two guys in a Discord server built the museum they can't take back.

Non-exhaustive, but a good list to start.

A Democratic Socialist born in 1997 just beat a Democrat who first took office in 1997

This is the speech that won us 63% of the vote at Denver county assembly, beating DeGette for the first time in 30 years.

A better world is within our reach, so let’s honor the organizers and dreamers that came before us and build it together.

Mexico deserves to win this World Cup just for being kind and hospitable to Iran.

[GenXGirl @GenXGirl1994]

I just watched the most terrifying documentary on WORKING homeless people. These ppl work but can’t afford rent in the US, so they live in their cars.

We spend $1.5 Trillion for the Dept of War while 40 Million Americans live below the poverty line.
