When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.
Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

Let me tell you a story about @TK_iKARi
There's been a lot of conversation going around about how he "came out of nowhere" to win EVO. This isn't remotely true.
iKARi's been playing for like 20 years at this point. This guy is an OG thorugh and through. However, he lacked the international prestige to really stand out on the average Tekken player's radar. He was always a match or two away from making a big mark at an event.
This brings me to Combo Breaker 2025, one of his worst finishes at any major. He didn't even make top 128, but it wasn't a lack of skill from iKARi. He just wasn't playing like himself.
I remember watching one of his pools sets at CB and noticing that he was visibly shaking. His nerves were clearly getting to him. There was a clear difference between iKARi in his comfort zone and iKARi playing at a big major.
And, if you know anything about Kazuya, he requires unwavering confidence to succeed. You have to be completely locked in.
The next night at Combo Breaker, iKARi was running sets at 2am. He was out of the tournament anyways, might as well get some practice in, right?
A line started to form. Then a crowd. Everyone that was there still playing Tekken wanted a chance to fight against him.
Something shifted during the time he was running sets. He eventually started going full Pokchop on people, talking shit, getting loud, having the entire room rally behind him. It was like watching a different man.
There are certainly people in the community who know a lot more about iKARi than I do, but that night really stood out to me. There's something about running sets in the wee hours of the night that just makes things click.
His ability to take down the best Tekken players isn't something that he just pulled out in the spur of the moment. He's been putting effort into this for years, and his effort finally paid off, both in terms of mechanical skill and being mentally prepared to take on the best players in the world.
The pics here are mine, never had the chance to post them anywhere. I'd always planned to write about it someday because I knew just from sitting there and watching iKARi that he'd go on to do something absolutely incredible one day.
Unfortunately, the games journalism industry is abysmal right now, but it'd be a waste not to share this part of his journey even if it's just in a post like this.
Here's to hoping there's a long career ahead for you yet, iKARi. Congratulations on the win.

@Mewtxxx While working/school I'd think about situations and then go home to lab
Or think of ways I lost in tourney and then from there put myself in the perspective of my opp to see what they were looking for/what ways I could lose
Watch tourney play and trying to predict what'll happen
English


@thelionofnv Agreed
I think a lot of change has to happen for us to see it actualized, similar to New York's change with Mamdani rn.
Wishful thinking, but it could shift in how we address healthcare throughout the country in the long run.
Only time will tell at this point

@Jesandy1572 Giving more money to the state of California’s government will be to the benefit of everyone? Not sure about that.
English

Billionaires would still have $950 million if they had exactly 1 billion.
This is a "donation" essentially.
If they're a billionaire, chances are they'll make the money back within the week or they'll remain a billionaire afterwards because they likely have MORE than 1 billion 😡
Pop Base@PopBase
A petition for the California billionaire tax, which would implement a one-time 5% tax on the state's 200 billionaires to fund healthcare programs, has received 1.5 million signatures — which could help it qualify for the November ballot. Gavin Newsom shared that he was fighting against this amendment in a previous interview with The New York Times.
English

@thelionofnv It kind of becomes a moot point since AI has caused job cuts/investment shifts, but at least in this instance it would be for the benefit of everyone employed or not.
The advice needs to be proportionate to the amount of income generated
Otherwise investing would be worthless
English

@Jesandy1572 Is that going to affect anyone else like employees or investments that the money could’ve been used for? Does that advice also work it’s way down to us pee ons when the unrealized gains taxes come down to our level?
