Sorry I’ve been away for a bit. In the process of some big life changes and made social media a lesser part of it too.
Also I’m moving out of NYC today after 15 years.
No loaded reason other than a change of pace, more space and a shorter commute.
Peak male living space.

One of the things I hate about Instagram and other social networks is just how much the algorithm dilutes what you want to see.
I spent some time scrolling and found that 1 in 3 posts were from people I followed.
The other 2 were either ads or "Suggested" content
So 60+% of what I'm given is algo

20 years in, I can pretty comfortably say that the greatest technological/social change that was intended to do good but ended up causing untold and irreversible harm to humanity is Social Media.
It was a mistake after seeing what it's become and how people have become on it these days.

The last time NY did this redistricting they went after safe progressive lawmakers and pushed them out of their districts to allow 'safe, corporate, establishment' Democrats to run in the new districts
This led to the 2020 and 2022 losses of seats in the house from NY and handed Republicans control

Hochul on redistricting: "All's fair in love and war. We are following the rules. We do redistricting every 10 years, but if there are other states that are violating the rules and trying to give themselves an advantage, all I say is I'll look at it closely with Hakeem Jeffries."
