The conservative minority on Wellington City Council never had the votes to kill the Golden Mile, so instead they played for time, demanding more reviews and consultation to delay it until a conservative won the mayoralty. Andrew Little has played right into their hands.

if there was a rich person with the will, you could build the most incredible news organization that has ever existed just from the wreckage of this year alone.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Working at CollegeHumor in 2015 meant dealing with a bunch of these kids who all acted like they were being hate crimed by being forced to watch a woman do comedy on YouTube
You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate.

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

"In the new ... internet, girls can’t learn about periods on Reddit and artists can’t sell smutty games on Itch.io, but a military contractor will make you nonconsensual deepfakes of Taylor Swift taking her top off for $30 a month." — @thedextriarchy.bsky.social www.theverge.com/internet-cen...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but this whole renters don’t pay rates “at all” thing is just silly. We make this weekly payment called “rent” to our landlords, who then pay rates on the homes we live in. These people ⬇️ and about half the city.

So grateful to earn this endorsement from the largest healthcare union in the country.

It’s a profound honor to receive the endorsement of Manhattan Democratic Party and its Leader Keith L.T. Wright, who has worked for decades to build a fairer, more just New York.

We are uniting this party around a vision to make our city affordable for all.
