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.
The Definitive Edition of First 4 Figure’s Sonic / Shadow Adventure 2 statue has been revealed.
“Inspired by the game's cover art, the Definitive Edition unites both characters back-to-back on a single, larger resin base, featuring a massive blue-and-red vortex with LED functions.”

whats so crazy to me is the only job that chatbots could actually eliminate right now is ceo, every company could save millions today right now by replacing their ceo with a computer program that just parrots what other ceos say
Millennials have a deep fear of stereotypical adult life defined by Gen X and boomers, so we never say “ back in my day” type shit
It’s that exact fear that has allowed the Internet to get quietly and incrementally more sanitized than TV
It’s gone, now all we CAN do is say back in my day
Weird we understand artificial things are bad for us when it comes to food, but as soon as the consumption is going to our (far more important) brain, it's disregarded.
Eat your Mind Veggies! Make and view ART!!
Algorithm the nuance destroyer
AI is only a threat in a world not built for humans
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.
I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost
Intent is everything to creatives
Intent is an obstacle for content creators
My friends are creatives, not creators
They create new ideas as a team, regardless of risk
They don't shallowly emulate a friends idea in their absence, desperately trying feel warmth in the cold platform they built
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
American capitalism demands that people monetize their art, then refuses to pay for that art because it's "frivolous" and "not a serious career," then steals it for gAI so non-artists can pretend to be artists, because being an artist is so cool.
This was shit we were fighting twenty years ago. More than that, actually.

I cannot even begin to tell you.
How fast you will move to the top of my ballot.
If you publicly antagonize AI.

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds.
Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.
A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”
“you need to learn how to use ai” what the fuck are you talking about, how hard is it to type a prompt
If there are any Democrats who are thinking of running for the presidency on 2028 on anything less than a clear agenda of widespread prosecution for this administration's corruption and fundamental structural changes to ensure it can't happen again, they should just stop right there.
that they are freaking out this badly over a surtax on second homes worth more than five million dollars - the most excessive rich person thing imaginable, which doesn’t even affect most of them - really makes it clear how little attention you need to pay to the freak outs
remember when celebrities seemingly randomly started coming out talking about how much they loved NFTs and thought it was super valuable and the future?
