Bluesky has group chats now. This is a Public Service Reminder that harmlessly trolling people (with your mom) is, and has always been, the only real reason to use "group chats."
Last quarter turned into a Brooklyn block party that erupted when the final whistle blew, and the fact that David Cross and Bob Odenkirk somehow happened to be there too was the least remarkable part.
Sports are cool. NYC is so much more fun when the Knicks are good.

Scene on the street:
"It's better to call something a genocide too early than too late..."
For real. I wish I could tattoo this on my fucking forehead.
Just the absolute dumbest, most racist shit from this administration. Forever and ever until we die.
I've lost track of how many DOJ investigations I've had to deal with working at CUNY just since last January, and they're all for insidious reasons like this.
Stefani mail slop update. This is actually insane and not funny at all anymore. This is for a STATE ASSEMBLY PRIMARY and this is just what’s been put in my mailbox, there are fliers all over the street in Bed-Stuy. The amount of wasted paper and $ to keep a do-nothing incumbent in power is appalling
Least surprising comments on this trash website too for this trash "investigation." This is exactly who their audience is.
There are so many scholarships at CUNY for white people to take. I've actually had to encourage students to apply for some scholarships because so many go unused...

I love this. Local journalism rules.
In the wake of Belfast riots, I just sent this to @mayor.nyc.gov to implore him to require the city post NOTHING on X except emergency notices.
Please contact your own reps.
There has to be a line. This is a public safety issue. They must get the hell off of X.

A strong Brooklyn Democratic Party would encourage grassroots participation and empower dedicated volunteers like these County Committee members, not push them aside.
Let's elect the Brooklyn Can't Wait slate and build the party we deserve.
It's better to call something a genocide too early than too late, but it's no longer too early by any measure.

Hell yeah! Came home to 3 more pieces of Stefani Zinerman lit in the mail today! I’ve got some duplicates now though does anyone want to trade? I’ll be sad if I don’t collect them all 😭
I’ve been really moved by how KAT’s public expression of grief has moved people during the Finals
really poignant story today on that theme:
I'm going to start by writing to @mayor.nyc.gov and telling him that city agencies and officials must stop posting anything but emergency notices on X and MUST post emergency notices elsewhere - including here.

“KAT knows the ones we love never really leave. So do we,” said a Brooklyn memorial space hosting New Yorkers on game day.
I was away for a little over a week and this is the mail I came back to. You can ALWAYS tell which campaigns receive vast sums of outside money without even having to look at the PACs in the fine print. Stefani Zinerman is wasting more paper for an Assembly race than Cuomo did running for mayor…

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS.
These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st).
Forced medical detransition.
This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

I'm going to call my reps again tomorrow and tell them to get the fuck off of X and to stop posting official government notices on X.

X owner Elon Musk has reposted his Sept 2025 call that pre-emptive inter-ethnic violence (civil war) is necessary for 'self-defence
"Elon Musk was always right
"You either fight back, or you die."
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)
Cal Horton (they/them)
Trans adolescents accessing the only NHS route to healthcare (WellBN) have been through a stressful year long transphobic investigation.
For a year they have sat under the threat of forced medical detransition.
With significant negative impacts. 1/2
