yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

A favor: Please describe to me the experience that you consider daydreaming? Or tell me if you don't have such a thing.
I understand it as an imaging yourself in some other situation than you're in. That's not a thing that happens in my brain, though I easily get lost in thought!

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

reposting again because my feed is HOPPING after I turned off all the filters they turned on without telling me. I really was thinking bsky traffic was declining when it was actually hiding posts from about half the people I choose to follow 🙃
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I'm convinced some of what we're calling charisma in Mamdani is the powerful combination of youth and earnest enthusiasm. Like, he's a good speaker but not an Obama-level one, you know?
This is much easier to replicate than looking for people with Hollywood-style "it factor"

I don't know enough about campaigning to measure the level of perfection in Mamdani's run but the result speaks for itself. He beat an incumbent and an arrogant "legacy" candidate twice. I think if you're seeking a model that works and you have a candidate with his level of charisma this is it.

There's not a time in my life that I've regretted my humanities degrees. I use them every day, not just professionally (though they've helped me there, too), but to envision and work toward a better future.
Humanities programs have 3 perfect tools here:
"There's a reason they don't want you studying it" paired with
"The only way to tear this down and rebuild is by practicing the empathy, understanding, and critical thought that can come with studying the humanities" and
"We're already doing it."

Major in Africana Studies or any humanities course like English Literature! You could be mayor of New York City. You could do anything.
