Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️
A weapon designed to specifically maim and kill children.
Illegal under the Geneva Conventions for numerous reasons, including being disguised as an ordinary object, and being specifically targeted against civilians.
A War Crime of the highest order.
"We must, then, avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."
This is an amazing theory and you might actually be very correct .
The Avatar cycle goes:
Air → Water → Earth → Fire
Aang was an Air Avatar → the previous element is Fire → Azula’s lightning literally killed him in the Avatar State.
Korra was a Water Avatar → the previous element is Air → Zaheer’s airbending poison suffocation came the closest to permanently ending her.
Roku was a Fire Avatar → the previous element is Earth → the volcano/lava of his own island ultimately killed him.
Kyoshi was an Earth Avatar → previous element is Water. She nearly died multiple times at sea and during pirate conflicts tied heavily to water.
Wan, the first Avatar, was constantly threatened by spirits connected to chaotic elemental imbalance rather than a clean cycle yet.
What makes the theory interesting is that the “previous element” often represents the Avatar’s greatest blind spot or unresolved karmic challenge:
1) Aang feared fire and avoided confrontation.
2) Korra underestimated the spiritual/philosophical side of air.
3) Roku hesitated and stayed too grounded in personal attachments.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirms undocumented children will be included in the city’s universal daycare program.
NYC is choosing “kids first,” even when the politics get ugly.
There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
