Serious question—DOES THIS MAN EVER SLEEP?
Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.
Tomorrow, we win it together.

After over 200 hours of gameplay, I finally made it to Act 2 of Hollow Knight: Silksong 🥹 Someone please congratulate me on this major life achievement. Also why do I love a game I am so objectively bad at?

Crystal Carter went to tour an apartment. Rent was $1,500 a month.
“I’ll be paying with a Section 8 voucher,” she said.
“Yeah,” the landlord said. “I don’t do Section 8.”
This is what housing voucher discrimination looks like 👇

either you read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in high school and it lodged into your brain forever, not just because it has the best opening paragraph in the history of literature but because Tea Cake's death from rabies is so FUCKING horrifying, or you did not

HOW is EVERYONE not epically terrified of rabies? Do they just not know about it? Like if you know about it… it kinda sticks with you…

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's.
If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too.
It's just a question of political will.

New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free
The program, which is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

I don’t get the hate/complaints about Silksong. It’s a beautiful, worthy successor to Hollow Knight and yeah, it’s hard AF, but that will just make it last longer. I’m in no rush.

Just saw someone repost this so I thought I'd resurface it for everyone. It's still relevant.
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Facebook keeps showing me unauthorized AI Hello Kitty slop and I have this really visceral, emotional reaction to it. Like, you leave Hello Kitty out of this. She is all things good and pure and sweet and I will not have you taint her good name with these planet destroying saccharine abominations.

I remember once astonishing a colleague’s husband when he naively asked why we (historians) couldn’t just look something up on the internet and we had to explain that WE are the ones who find the stuff and add it to the internet
“How does the computer know something happened if no one tells the computer about it” is the easy-reader way to explain why we still need human reporters and data-collectors
And I also find it genuinely alarming that even some people on this website don’t seem to grasp this

I firmly believe that if you’d said to someone in 2015 that in 10 years, “a lot of people will believe there’s no need for human field reporters because they think that entirely online-based AI chat bots can replace them”, they’d have called you insane.

Went to a farmers’ market in suburban CT today, and I was surprised how few of the vendors were actual farms. There was literally a booth from an investment firm, which feels like the most Connecticut thing ever. I did manage to buy some vegetables and maple syrup.
