Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
Guy in the coffeehouse complimented my knitting and it turns out he knows how to knit (!) because a bunch of elder gay men in a Seattle coffeehouse adopted him and taught him how and that just sounds like the most impossibly charmed life.
After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.

Settee down everyone, it's not that funny
A family of Ravens is putting the goth back in gothic at NYC's largest cathedral--St John the Divine. There are five mouths to feed, so the parents are staying busy! ⛪️⛪️⛪️ #Ravens #Cathedral #birding

I worried about my Grandma being alone after Grandpa died and got her a rescue dog. She named him Buddy, which was my Grandfather’s nickname when he was a kid. They seem to be getting along pretty well…

"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced."
This is how you do a just transition.

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.
A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams completed the #BostonMarathon in 2007 in 4:23:46 from the International Space Station while orbiting the Earth at ~17,500 mph. First person to run a marathon in space.
She qualified for Boston on Earth with a time of 3:29:57 in the Houston Marathon.

Rotunda of the US Capitol where people are standing, many in military camouflage, holding signs that read "End the War on Iran" among other messages.
The #BraveOfUS stand up and confront power and that's exactly what @vetsaboutface.bsky.social is doing with 150 veterans and active duty military in the Capitol rotunda right now to demand Congress end this criminal war on Iran.
Coachella is removing these videos, so they might be about to learn about the Strokesand Effect.

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
I’d like to see a Buttigieg AOC ticket in 2028. Either one will excel as President. I know it won’t happen. I’m not an idiot. I’d just like to see smart, energetic liberals in charge of our country.
The Mel Brooks Theory is undefeated.
Whining and cowering and making bullies A BIG DEAL is what the bullies want. When you post "oh no, I'm afraid to go out to a protest because of MAGA hogs" those dweebs get hard. You empowered them.
Mockery robs them of the power they desperately want.
one of the greatest things you can do to evil people is seize their legacy and permanently convert it into a joke.
there is little means to recover when an entire new generation only knows your ideas as comedy and your face as a clown.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
