Good point, should have specified NYC-DSA and no districts completely outside BK and Queens

@hollypret False. Kristen Gonzalez represents a tri-borough Senate district that includes Manhattan, and Sarahana Shrestha represents the Hudson Valley.

@null_nullspace @mindyisser Agreed. But it shouldn't eat up the general meeting in the way it did. It was weird.

@mindyisser @HighburyHaus Fuck the pair of you, it’s a workers rights issue as much as anything

Supposed to be an anthem, create an atmosphere but north London forever is utterly contrived and plastic. Surely Arsenal, a club with 140 years of history, has something more organic than that
English
@timstillman_ @nqatpod Rogers and Hammerstein are the shit. NL Forever is sounds so Disney.
English
why is a song written by two guys from New York in 1934 more 'organic' than a song written by an Arsenal fan from Islington about Islington? Why is a show tune from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical 'more organic'? It was written by an Arsenal fan, about the area Arsenal is in and adopted organically by Arsenal fans.

Very funny that the NYT got Hasan Piker and Jia Tolentino to go on and say "Stealing from Whole Foods is cool, but salting at Whole Foods is cooler 😎" They handled themselves pretty well all things considered I thought.

Rittenhouse square is packed! The city should do open streets Saturdays too

NYC always moves fast but I genuinely can’t keep up with all the political news of the week. The Grand Army Plaza redesign. The pied-á-terre tax. $4 billion for affordable housing via pensions. The looming 32BJ doormen strike. Second Avenue Subway funding unfrozen. It’s so much!

@bigblackjacobin Bard's going to have to absorb more wealthy kids

RIP. Incredibly sad. Hampshire ended up being the perfect school for me and many others, really wish it had found a way to survive. Every weird school that experimented with education is going to die one by one.

BREAKING: After years of financial struggles, Hampshire College will close after the 2026 fall semester. I obtained an email sent to the college community this morning that confirms the board of Trustees have voted to permanently close the experimental institution. @WAMCNews

@BarryGrodenchik @C_Sommerfeldt How does that boot taste, toilet boy?

@C_Sommerfeldt DSA pushes for tax hikes like others breathe. Their canards about austerity budgets, etc., are absolutely ridiculous. #NYC is and will remain an extremely generous city despite what their blathering says.
English
The heads of NYC's Democratic Socialists of America chapter, who back Mamdani's push for tax hikes this year, are out with statements blasting Menin's plan.
(Menin's plan isn't actually proposing cuts, tho the efficacy of some of its savings measures can certainly be debated).

@_Zeets Telling writers to do a reading at a Judaica bookstore in Flatbush
English
For authors with books coming out, if you’re intending to do book events in New York City, I want y’all to consider the Flatbush / Ditmas Park / Kensington area. I know the big shops are attractive but there’s a wealth of writers and readers there that are often skipped over.

I've said it before: what makes the current age feel particularly desperate is that people's apolitical pleasures and pastimes are colonised to an unprecedented degree.
Subsumed by professionalisation, measurement & calculation, the content industry and competitive fandom, or just simply profiteering. Football exemplifies all these perfectly.
EuroFoot@eurofootcom
🇦🇷😳 Marcelo Bielsa back in 2024: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline. It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore." "If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football." "For me, the introduction of technology (like VAR) does a lot of harm to football. This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal." "As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted."

@barneyronay Everyone hates Barney bc of his horrible takes on Israel/Gaza. That’s why there’s little engagement.

@MairavZ Oh please. Who do you think you are to give an opinion on Israeli society.

I wrote THE piece on how it’s not
Netanyahu’s wars it’s the entire Israeli body politic. So don’t be lecturing me.

@mindyisser bro forget the ferdrenken matzah fr why have anything to do with this anymore?

@RedOctoberJuls @_ThatOneNiceGuy You’re humanizing the person responsible for a live-streamed genocide. This inevitably dehumanizes the Palestinians. Doesn't seem like you’re totally aware or may be lacking the ability to self reflect.

@HighburyHaus @_ThatOneNiceGuy Listen asshole, I've been nothing but critical of Biden, fucking look at my posts. I still have a soft spot for him because of personal connections. Shit isn't as easy as you think it is. People are complicated. Now leave me the fuck alone.
English
@_ThatOneNiceGuy @HighburyHaus I know this is hard for some people to understand because black and white thinking is so prevalent these days but one can hold both good and bad feelings about someone.
English
@_ThatOneNiceGuy @RedOctoberJuls But he’s the only president in this photo…that’s why he’s being singled out
English
@HighburyHaus @RedOctoberJuls Absolutely. In fact, like I said biden is just as much as a war criminal as other previous presidents but I was saying that the way some people tend to single him out as the only or like main war criminal president is a bit hypocritical to me cause how was

@_ThatOneNiceGuy @RedOctoberJuls Agree about the Nixon point. But Nxon/Bush are not in this photo.
English
@HighburyHaus @RedOctoberJuls Every us president since Nixon was or has been a war criminal, im not saying its a good thing, im not making excuses for him im just saying that the way some of yall single out biden as the war criminal president is a little ridiculous to me seeing how
