Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
Interesting: Urbanist group @ggwash.org is suing @ddotdc.bsky.social over its refusal/failure to release a study the city conducted on congestion pricing possibilities in downtown D.C. The study was finished in 2020, but has never been made public – even in response to FOIA requests.
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

One of the funnier denials I’ve ever read
guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,
good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx
You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

As a nice bonus joy for Mamdani winning, we also get the delight of knowing Cuomo lost

this one’s a bit more personal than straight music-criticism, but it’s about how learning Japanese helped me cope through depression and let me re-engage with old interests in new ways, concluding with a review/show report on the excellent shoegaze band Kurayamisaka
forgot to share it when I published it a few weeks ago but the June issue of the j-rock report is out!
