When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you.
Thanks to the @NBA, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of @LinkNYC screens across our city.
LGK.
NYC is no longer a city, it is an algorithm.
If you live in, say, Cincinnati, when you go to get ice cream with your friends, you really are just going to get ice cream with your friends.
In NYC, this is not possible. You cannot just go to get ice cream, because, against your will, you are very self-consciously “someone who lives in NYC, going to get ice cream with their friends, in NYC.”
You are never able to achieve full presence of mind because you are constantly placing yourself inside a chapter in some made up, schizophrenic and highly disorienting book.
Put another way, as a New Yorker, you do not live in a city, but a massive, procedurally generated simulation of one. You are nothing more than a vapid unit of flesh and bone trapped since a Baudrillardian infinity mirror, where the references have their own references.
You become more of a vague concept than a real person—some strange, soulless mix of ambition and violent/sexual impulses—and in your constant confusion you fail to ever become a true subject.
You pay $17 for the ice cream cone. Then, you pull out your list of saved Instagram Reels which tell you where to get reservations for pasta later.
When you arrive, you find yourself stuck in yet another long line, with people who look just like you.
The longer you wait in lines like these, the harder it becomes to ever recover the soul of the person you were before you moved into your East Village studio.
If @PeteButtigieg had done anything remotely like this he would have been ridiculed by the right and deservedly so. The hypocrisy of the Republican Party is unmatched.
Sean Duffy: Film road trip for seven months. Work, occasionally. The Transportation Secretary said he did manage to do ‘some work,’ while filming a full Trump-approved reality show with his family titled ‘The Great American Road Trip.’ https://t.co/tD5stnoQBs

@stevebyrnelive It’s staggering how many people don’t know how the first amendment works. Y’all must have been doodling too much in school cause this is basic shit…
I mean there were videos years ago all over social media of ISIS beheading people but your right gay parents are worst than ISIS! Who actually takes these people seriously??
imagine being so out of touch.
Scariest thing you’ve seen isn’t cancer or starving kids, or literally any other real world problem, but having to pay your fair share on your SECOND luxury home….and these people wonder why half the country hates them.
@KeithGrossman@SaraEisen You clearly haven’t been watching her on CNBC the past few years. Say what you will about this post in particular but to paint her as anything but MAGA is just not reality.
Here’s a 5.9M condo in Manhattan. It’ll be bought by someone Mamdani/Hochul claim isn’t paying their “fair share”. They’ll pay a $132,000 mansion tax at closing. And then pay $5200 a month in property taxes. Mamdani and Hochul will now add another tax to this bill.
Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation
