Guy who's never had a job in his life going to bat for LIRR engineers' god-given right to be paid for two days of work if they drive two kinds of engines on the same day.
Jack Schlossberg@JBKSchlossberg

The LIRR is the nation’s busiest commuter train line, and that would not be possible without their dedicated workers. I am proud to stand with the LIRR workforce as they demand a fair wage increase. This country was built on the backs of workers and it’s time that we have their backs in this fight.

@TheStalwart Especially fascinating once you realize that Satoshi is a time-traveling AI sent from the future to stimulate the buildout of computational infrastructure.

How are people not fascinated by the origin of Satoshi? Whether it’s one guy or a group, to invent this gigantic novel thing, and to have such incredible OpSec in this day and age is a wild story
markgoodw.in@markgoodw_in

@TheStalwart @JohnCarreyrou i still dont get the fascination about it being a mythical, singular entity, as opposed to a team. seems far more likely a team, even if there was an individual responsible for writing/voice/public comms.

Trammel Crow built a version of the Chrystal Palace back in the 1980s in Dallas. Today it's a huge data center and has THREE of it's own dedicated electrical substations. Honestly, this would be a cool model for building new data centers and earning the trust of the public.

This is what the water and sewage pumping station looks like in Buenos Aires We can and should make the infrastructure of our civilization beautiful! Probably the most important way to increase public support for datacenters too

I'm driving through "data center alley" in Virginia for the first time and it's the most dystopian architecture I've ever seen--and I've been to north Korea

Absolutely astounding figures from the NY state comptroller: spending on services for the NYC street homeless population ran to $81,705 per person last year, up from $28,428 pp 6yrs ago. Figures do not include all kinds of other spending, supportive housing, policing costs etc.

The easiest way to tell if someone works in tech is to ask them how to pronounce Xi Jinping's name. If they're in tech, they will say "Zhee". If they're not in tech, they will usually say "Shee", unless they're native Chinese speakers or just very confused. Try it!!
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion

For some reason, tech people -- and ONLY tech people -- mispronounce Xi Jinping's name as "Zhee". So I think I'm going to start calling xAI "Zhai".

I can’t believe New York State has a $10 bln deficit, NYC is facing its own $10 bln FY27 deficit, and 31 school districts are designated to be in fiscal stress and yet the state legislature is seriously considering doing this.

The problem with the NYCHA no-new-towers campaign is it's a bridge to nowhere. No white knight is coming in to bankroll $80 billion in repairs. There's an actual plan to fund better public housing by cross-subsidizing with market-rate housing. The alternative is just hopium.
Jack Schlossberg@JBKSchlossberg

Today is the official launch of the FIX IT NOW petition. I'll be going across the city in a petition drive to make public housing safer, cleaner and stronger. SAY NO TO THE DEMOLITION - The Elliot Chelsea + Fulton Houses are in my neighborhood — repairs, not the wrecking ball !!

The fact that a Kennedy is opposing this redevelopment and the provision of decent housing for people living in deteriorating conditions is quite a shame. Fulton Houses was built with funds JFK signed into law with the 1961 Housing Act. Here's what he said at the signing.

@JBKSchlossberg This is such a helpful video because I was worried you might be an unserious influencer who cares more about social media videos than solving problems. And now I know for sure! Thanks.

@JBKSchlossberg this is some NIMBY slop man. really disappointing coming from you, this project would replace the dilapidated NYCHA complex with brand new apartments for every NYCHA tenant plus additional amenities for the neighborhood like a grocery store and healthcare facilities

Essentially, what the Mamdani administration should do ASAP is connect the city budget & (a new & improved version of) the Mayor's Management Report in a comprehensive plan for & explanation of spending, services, outcomes, & choices.

i feel like it's important to demystify new york, what makes it distinctive is that a lot of people live there and that it's dense, that's it, everything else is a product of that, there's nothing magic, you just get a lot of stuff going on with a lot of people close together

@xenocryptsite 1989 also had a Charter Revision Commission ballot question which completely overhauled the structure of the city government, after the US Supreme Court ruled that the previous structure (the board of estimate) was unconstitutional. nytimes.com/1989/11/08/nyr…

So I think people did know that would be close (I mean it was a rematch!) but 1989 may have been an actual polling surprise.

It's especially funny since 1989 and 1993 had such high turnout in part because they were highly competitive (both ended up within ~2.5 points) while 2025 will have high turnout because of uh.
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn

For reference, here’s the turnout in mayoral general elections over the last half century: 2021 — 1.15M 2017 — 1.17M 2013 — 1.10M 2009 — 1.15M 2005 — 1.32M 2001 — 1.52M 1997 — 1.41M 1993 — 1.90M ⬅️ race to beat 1989 — 1.90M ⬅️ race to beat 1985 — 1.17M 1981 — 1.31M 1977 — 1.49M

@mateosfo I loved your thread! Hopeful and inspiring. NYC is great, because people made it so, and we can make it even better - and make other places great in the same way! The EB White essay is wonderful. If you haven’t read the rest, I recommend. archive.org/details/in.ern…

E.B. White: “The citizens of New York are tolerant not only from disposition but from necessity. The city has to be tolerant, otherwise it would explode in a radioactive cloud of hate and rancor and bigotry…
(((Matthew Lewis))) cults & consequences@mateosfo

It's that NYC *is the antidote to hate.* I've always believed this but New Yorkers are the friendliest people in the world. Nobody bats an eye at anything: The Islamic family with women in hijab walking past gay bars in Chelsea, Churches offering to shelter immigrants from ICE...

If the people were to depart even briefly from the peace of cosmopolitan intercourse, the town would blow up higher than a kite. In New York smolders every race problem there is, but the noticeable thing is not the problem but the inviolate truce.”
