I hate Open AI with a burning passion but I love generating images of mine and my girlfriend's cats enjoying a colorful and fun childhood.

@BaconLuisTomato @grahamformaine Removed? He's more than likely not running in '28...he can't just be forced to resign because he's not Zohran.

@grahamformaine True. But Schumer needs to be removed first, and then his rotating cast of goons. Not to mention The Ogre

If Donald Trump tries to confirm a Supreme Court justice in his final two years, Senate Democrats must follow The McConnell Rule™

@TroyMOlson @AkilahObviously Translation: everyone is poor, and no one can sell their homes 🫡

@AkilahObviously There is more economic equality and greater home ownership in the south. This has been true for awhile. NYC, outside of DC, is the most economically unequal political unit in the country. Common AOC fail.

AOC speaking now. “It’s time for the north to show up in the south.”

@cortadoedison Beat for beat this is the plot of either Taken 2 or Taken 3

Told him I was only here on layover and he kept being like “next time, stay in Milan longer and we go to Lake Como for prosecco. Or I go with you to Albania.” Yes, buddy. 100% let’s do itttttt

In Milan for less than 5 minutes and an Italian man already hit on me

@cammsyn let MTA install faregates on the subway first, see how that goes before having to spec out gates for 126 stations.

kathy hochul this is your moment fully automated IBX and faregated LIRR stations 🔜

@billiceberg what?

@Siderskys your world golf courses and lots

East Potomac Park in DC could be one of the best neighborhoods in the entire United States, but instead this land will have 20 people playing golf on it during business hours. Let's get our priorities together!!!

@billiceberg was this your inspo?

@Siderskys you caught me, I didnt draw it

@jonaswillett1 Its as secret as the phone booth place in criff dogs

NYC has a secret coffee shop inside a 100-year-old bank. It's called Conwell Coffee Hall in FiDi. One of the coolest interior spaces in NYC: - gold revolving doors - 1920s Art Deco design - marble teller counter - bankers' lamps and leather couches They have 10/10 coffee with signature blends: - "The Vault" - "Skyscraper Medium Roast" - "Sleep No More Espresso" It's Conwell Coffee Hall by day (brunch + coffee) and Conwell Cocktail Hall by night (candles, cocktails + live DJs) AND it's open until 10pm 👀

@RichardOcelot Did we really think this guy was watching Cosmopolis, Good Time, The Drama, or Goblet of Fire?

"In what world is Robert Pattinson a better actor than Henry Cavill?" This world.

@Itsjoeco @zedsamcat "vibrant"

@zedsamcat I think you miss the fact that many cities would be worse off or unsustainable without vibrant suburbs within commuting distance.

The real reason is because we absolutely refuse to draw city boundaries in a coherent way. All of these cities have a population under 1m solely due to weird borders, with the metro area of all these cities easily clearing the 1m mark

@nymetrowx you people are sick

Finally: A significant warmup is heading for NYC starting this weekend, and it could continue into next week as well. patreon.com/posts/finally-…

@Nfcanavan @madsf88 Regular slice = slice of cheese pizza

@madsf88 Manhattan is called, "The City" Greenwich Village is called, "The Village" Long Island is' "The Island" There are no turtles in Turtle Bay "Regular" coffee at a bodega is coffee with milk and two sugars. "Light and sweet" is three sugars with extra milk. Welcome home

been in nyc for 1 month. here are my observations: > SO many people > everyones way friendlier than expected > and younger > you will be woken up by sirens at 3am > trees are rare > huge froyo scene ?? > people call the subway the train ?

@NotJosephGarcia frickin' sharks with lasers on their heads

There’s never any explanation in the films for why Austin Powers is horny. The filmmakers just expect us to agree to the premise and move on.

@tribecasound @realboshek this field absolutely sucks to play on though - the artificial turf just shreds you and is basically crisco coated

@realboshek Plenty of NYC ballfields have great skyline views. Easier when they around surrounded by 50,000 seats.

How does....... Charlotte....... have a better stadium skyline than both New York teams (by a million times)

@EVCurveFuturist I wanna hear your voice AND see the data!! :)

Fair criticism honestly. I use AI as a tool for drafting/structuring sometimes, especially when pulling together lots of data and sources quickly, but the underlying research, charts, numbers and broader thesis are still mine. I also use it to help craft responses. However, everything I post is still 100% my own views, feelings and opinions. I simply let the data do the heavy lifting. Probably a good reminder to keep more of my rough edges and natural writing style in there instead of over-polishing everything :)

Pakistan may be accidentally building one of the world’s first decentralised #solar economies. The craziest part? Real scale barely shows in official stats. Imported 51.5 GW solar panels by late 2025—nearly = entire grid. Yet registered net-metered rooftop solar just 5.3–6.8 GW. What makes this story so extraordinary is the speed. In only a few years, Pakistan appears to have gone from a relatively minor solar market to potentially sourcing around a quarter of its electricity from solar once distributed generation is included. 👉 ~16.6–17 GW solar imports in 2024 👉 ~18 GW solar imports in 2025 👉 ~51.5 GW cumulative imports by late 2025 👉 Rooftop solar: ~1.3 GW → 4.1 GW in 2024 👉 ~5.3–6.8 GW registered rooftop solar in 2025 👉 24+ GW estimated behind-the-meter/off-grid 👉 Solar potentially ~25% of actual electricity use The massive gap between imported panels and officially registered systems strongly suggests tens of gigawatts are now operating quietly on homes, farms, factories and businesses across the country. This increasingly looks less like a normal energy transition and more like large-scale consumer-led grid defection. And economics is driving nearly all of it. Electricity tariffs surged. Diesel prices climbed. Blackouts remained common. Meanwhile ultra-cheap Chinese solar panels and falling battery prices made self-generation economically irresistible. So millions effectively made the same calculation: Generate your own power, or remain trapped inside an expensive and unstable system. Once solar becomes cheaper than the grid itself, adoption can move faster than governments, utilities and even official statistics can keep up with. This isn’t gradual transition by any stretch. It may ultimately become a blueprint for how energy-poor nations break free from legacy old-world energy systems dominated by fossil fuels and increasingly expensive centralised power. It’s decentralisation at escape velocity. This is #Bettrification.

@wicheesetweeter @umichvoter How many DUIs do you have?

@umichvoter Put in some "affordable housing" and see what happens

Why are the Minneapolis suburbs so clean ✨

@realboshek cmon man, da' Burg has a great view AND it's a major league stadium

@EricsRambles @PhilSustainable this guy NIMBYs

@PhilSustainable Looks terrible. Residential shouldn't be over six stories.

The Bronx by Dyer ave subway station, but with 30 story residential homes replacing some of the auto body shops

@dlondonwortel Meanwhile, in the Hoovervilles of Central Park...

Northern Manhattan and the Bronx, 1931, looking exceptionally tidy (also note how undeveloped Jersey is to the left)
