This scavenger hunt is so charming and smart and actively engaging. It gets New Yorkers out and about, exploring the city, talking to one another, taking advantage of public transportation and working toward a common cause. The levels! It’s just so great.

Anybody else see how this is kinda mafia-coded, or we don’t think like that anymore?
What if there were already some sort of contest where people were able to choose between them, I wonder how that would go

I’ve become such a good grown up, I don’t do late night movies with popcorn and noodles anymore. Tonight, we change that.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

You'd think all of this would drive another spike in users on Bsky and other alternatives, but I fear that everyone left over there is fully desensitized

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!
the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

one of the more endearing human behaviors imo is "tell 'em i say hi." even with ppl we don't know sometimes, if they make ppl we care about happy and you know they're on the line you just give a quick little "hi". we're like birds, just constantly making little companion calls to each other
