“They turned a natural resource into a bundle of cash”

ConEd outage map right now.

This is what happens when corporations run our essential infrastructure for their own profit, not the public good.

There’s another way: PUBLIC POWER. ⚡️

@NeastWS @LinkofSunshine True, but as a Manhattanite, if you’re not even passingly familiar with Upper Manhattan, you’re uncultured and could arguably be considered a caveman.

@dakeenekid What if I don’t take the 6 on account of it being the worst subway line?

Residents above 4th/5th floors in The Bronx & Upper Manhattan can expect low water pressure or brown water due to too many open hydrants. Stay safe —> Turn off hydrants & use a spray cap on any open hydrant. Contact @NYC311 to request a spray cap, or stop by a local firehouse!

my hot take is that rich kids normalized this specific brooklyn lifestyle because they had built-in safety nets (and parents covering the rent) then normies copied it and found out very quickly why full-time jobs exist

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

New York ISO just issued an early warning that we must alleviate the strain on our energy grid statewide.

Please do your part in keeping our power on by:

•Setting your AC to 78 degrees.

•Turning off lights and unplugging electronics you’re not using. 

•Waiting until early morning or late at night to run appliances like dishwashers or laundry machines.

During a historic heatwave, AC will save lives — but only if we keep the grid stable enough for it to stay on.

The city will allow smaller buildings to share curbside trash containers rather than rely on wheelie bins clogging up the sidewalk. https://t.co/NnlGWrbC6x

Everybody looks good also because there’s one major factor: when you’re welcoming Black people to an event, you need to know how to light Black skin properly. The lighting, the brown backdrop, everything was designed to complement black skin.

Whenever a local NYC issue like rent control goes national it’s always instructive bc thing you take for granted here get questioned in ways locals don’t really question, at the same time it’s also extremely annoying
