@NYC_DOT Snark performs well on socials. And yet, nothing to explain the merit of a 24-hr enforcement 10mph below the standard city limit when children aren’t in school at 2am??
@_rebeccaclewis Cuomo is far too seasoned and intentional for that. When he mispronounced his name it was absolutely tactical. Similarly, calling him “assemblyman” was the most debate-friendly way he could infantilize him without being labeled racist or Islamophobic
@SashaReneePerez She *does* know this and you know she knows this. “You should know this” is softball. US citizens are being detained. This is not the time for “Wow, they’re not playing by the rules 😩.” Use the platform you have and HIT HARDER
@WSJopinion@JCats2013 Breaking news: Owner of overpriced supermarkets that only serve wealthy zip codes in NYC sees a boogeyman in a proposal seeking to benefit the poorest neighborhoods in the city. Shocking. Soviet scare tactic was really the best you could come up with? 🥱🥱
@Ali_Najmi maaaan if I was @ZohranKMamdani I would emphasize this, considering Cuomo’s incredibly lazy answers when questioned about this at last night’s debate (cc: @OsseChi and @aaronnarraph)
@Nycteegurl So Black immigrants don’t exist? You think undocumented Hatians, Jamaicans, Ugandans, Ghanaians, Brazilians don’t deserve your support or that their struggle doesn’t intersect with yours?
@LincolnRestler Conventional wisdom is “Don’t let children run into oncoming traffic.” Why is a bike lane any different? No amount of safety enhancements are going to fix carelessly letting a child run ALONE into a lane dedicated to a different type of vehicle
@emilybernay Not only are they running stress modules like other people have commented, but they’re likely recording footage of it for marketing/commercials.
@analwithani @SomuahBoye @beyoncepress The LEVI’s CEO is saying, as a for-profit private company, it’s *not* a problem when Beyoncé does it. Could they pursue legal action if they wanted to? Technically, yes. But they’re saying it’s way more beneficial to let it rock bc she’s about to help them make $$$
@slayercomma I wonder to what degree this has to do w being raised in a cult & its social norms. “Praise Kier” seems like it’s a cult rooted in religious ideology. I wonder if gender roles are strictly enforced, and Helly R is the only time Helena can relax the performance of femininity
@KEL0818@kenklippenstein They need to know their audience and optimize their speech accordingly. To the average listener “section nine, clause seven” registers as not much more than “ok, a source was cited.” If the context isn’t expounded upon then what rhetorical value does it have?
