West Ham get battered everywhere they go, everywhere they gooooo...

This is the smallest, most trivial hill upon which I am willing to die.

They accept Greek letters but not words like "monotonic" or "affine." Make that make sense!

Tottenham Hotspur actually sign a player and the Dallas Cowboys let Micah Parsons go, what a day to be alive.

Every self-respecting electing Democrat in New York City should be calling on Andrew Cuomo to drop out of the race today.

Extremely funny to write the same article everyone did after COVID when this is what's going on in Manhattan. NYC #1, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Does Earning $142,000 in New York City Make You Rich?

Is there any reason why this article doesn’t mention the standard metric by which local governments calculate eligibility for affordable housing??? Like why are we asking people for the vibes on $142k vs $500k+ instead of just sharing the relevant AMIs?

Stripped of context, this could literally refer to any outcome where Tottenham Hotspur are concerned.

Lo -- and I cannot emphasize this enough -- lllllllllll. #uefasupercup

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

we all know that the proof for the administration that an institution is not implementing affirmative action will be the percentage of nonwhite admits. the lower the better. any more than a smattering of black and Hispanic students will be evidence of illegal discrimination (against whites)

He'd be a real midfield destroyer, I think.

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

Thank you for pandering to us. 😊

No but seriously this thread is why I love living in NYC. Density begets community begets broad-based social trust.

This is all so depressing.

Philly's transit system is about to self-destruct, and it's not even a national story.

Cars are a societal menace.

Reminder: more than 60% of four year institutions let in at least 75% of applicants. A school with an admissions rate of 65% is one of the more selective schools in the country. College admissions shit is entirely elite neuroses about like 100 schools, or total bullshit.

My #1 issue as a voter in this election is transit. Is this what it’s like to feel pandered to? Because it is great.

Mamdani Headlines The New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani is getting desperate.

This is going to put @nytpitchbot.bsky.social out of business. mamdanitimes.com

Negatively polarized by the NYT sinking to Chris Rufo's level into subscribing to @hellgatenyc.com.

As a former Astoria resident, I also love his videos because I get to play, "Where in Queens was this filmed?"

My willingness to take the Q100/Q69 when I lived in Astoria went up infinite% after the 21st Street bus lane opened.

Andrew Cuomo was the US Secretary of Housing and is now running for mayor, where one of the largest agencies they manage is NYC's Housing Authority.

And yet Cuomo literally had ChatGPT write his campaign housing policy.

This is who the media and establishment want you to think is "serious"

“I don’t agree with everything Mamdani supports or says. If I lived in New York City, I’m not sure he’d be my first choice. But what’s being done to defeat him—and to rehabilitate Andrew Cuomo—is absolutely infuriating.”

Incredibly amazing post by @jessrem.bsky.social with an important point about American housing—NY/CA build nothing, TX/AZ sprawl, but only a few American cities like Seattle, Atlanta, & DC are actually building lots of new dense housing in their core neighborhoods

Yup, that too! Being a pedestrian was pretty bad as well -- the number of times I went for a run, tried to take up as little space as possible on the shoulder due to lack of sidewalks, and had a close encounter with a car...

n = 1 and all that, but my personal safety felt so much more threatened when I lived in Nashville and had to drive on highways with unhinged, antisocial drivers who wouldn't recognize a turn signal if it punched them in the face, versus just chilling on the NYC subway.

Opinion | Brad Lander Doesn’t Belong in Jail. Does He Belong in City Hall?

I agree with almost every word of this, especially the kicker: "Lander sure looked like the kind of guy you’d want in charge at a time like this."

Screenshot of text: Bill de Blasio, whose eight-year tenure as New York’s mayor began in 2014, came from this wing of the Democratic Party. And he had some successes, including his expansion of preschool and his curtailment of widespread stop-and-frisk policing. Overall, though, [Highlighting begins] he bears significant responsibility for the city’s problems. [Highlighting ends] He did not take disorder seriously enough, and he set back the city’s K-12 school system. His main legacy is to have contributed to the city’s recent decline.

Screenshot of text: At his best, Michael Bloomberg, New York’s mayor from 2002 to 2013, used this approach. Houston’s two mayors from 2010 through 2023, Annise Parker and Sylvester Turner, used it to reduce homelessness sharply. In Chicago, [Highlighting begins] Rahm Emanuel [Highlighting ends] oversaw educational progress in the 2010s that was the mirror image of New York’s regression. The current first-term mayors of Denver, Mike Johnston, and San Francisco, Daniel Lurie, have adopted similar pragmatism. It is possible to govern both liberally and successfully.

Reactionary liberalism might be more vacuous and delusional than MAGA
