The good citizen in me is thrilled to vote for Zohran…the petty bitch in me is SO thrilled to vote against Cuomo.

I’m not sure you do actually want my opinion, American Airlines…
A survey email from American Airlines, asking about my recent flight (which went extremely poorly). I will not fill this out because I don’t believe in giving bad feedback when innocent employees might get in trouble (and the flight crew was fine), but oof. Nope.

Post a picture of when your pet was little

These were pics the kittens' foster human sent us before we adopted them, back when their names were Rye and Crouton. They were the teeniest tiniest!!!
A triptych of pictures of a black kitten with a white spite on his neck. In the biggest he is yawning or screaming and you can see his tiny teeth. He is extremely cute. A small black kitten on a couch with giant eyes and enormous pointy ears. She is incredibly cute.

Bill DiBlasio actually like .... gets it? This pretty succinctly captures my disgust and anger at pretty much all Democratic leadership right now. What I wouldn't give to have someone in power who actually gives a shit about people's real daily struggles.

A paragraph of text from an Intelligencer article. The highlighted section reads: If you talk to everyday New Yorkers, as I do all the time, you know that people really, really can’t stand the status quo in the city. But it’s not because they want to go back to some good old days of strongman leaders. It’s that they think their leaders don’t care about them, aren’t helping address the extraordinary pain they’re going through and the challenge of making ends meet.

So...it would be a crime to wear a mask while committing a crime, which sounds eyeroll-worthy until you remember that they really really want to arrest protesters.

Best Buy still tells me "coming soon" in my attempt to order a switch 2 and I'm going to give up and go to bed in a minute, but at least the user submitted FAQ is entertaining.

Brad my guy, how does hiring more cops help with any of this? That's the whole *point* of defunding the police, which you understood in 2020!

Like, will I take Lander over Adams or Cuomo? 1000%. But these issues need systemic overhauls to fix, not cops.

A quote from mayoral candidate Brad Lander: “I think progressives, myself included, were slow to reckon with the rising sense of disorder, mental health issues, homelessness and crime coming out of the pandemic. And that has had both social and political consequences that we're dealing with now.”
