Politics, food, bass, Brooklyn.

Zohran Mamdani is being heckled right now at a press conference in Brooklyn, NY, by someone whose words I can't hear, but watch how he's dealing with it. Mamdani has the unique skill of knowing how to handle and walk into every room and engage with people, no matter how toxic they are or how their feelings are against him. And many times, make them feel heard. Elected officials, nonprofit and religious leaders, advocates, and activists on both sides of the political spectrum who met with him told me that. Don't take my word for it, President Trump is pretty public about it. That's why he's currently the mayor of New York City. If you don't like his politics or you're like me, who opposed his candidacy and is still troubled by some of his actions and statements, then don't take this post the wrong way; read into it how you should be better to communicate your message. Yes, putting ego aside for any public figure is not easy.

They really want y’all to believe this is just about “traffic” 🤔 Bike lanes everywhere. Bus lanes everywhere. Streets turning into outdoor lounges. Pay just to ENTER Manhattan. Now they talking about charging you to park near your own home… And if that’s not enough? Lower speed limits. Cameras everywhere 24/7. More rules for drivers… Less enforcement for bikes… But yeah… nothing to see here, right? 😭 Then they hit you with the “environment” angle… “Less cars = less pollution” Cool. But at what cost? Because when you make driving: More expensive… More stressful… More restricted… Of course people gonna stop driving. That’s not a coincidence. That’s strategy. More tolls. More cameras. Lower speeds. Less space for cars. And next up… more meters. Call it whatever you want… But don’t act like this isn’t a car phase-out in real time. Pay attention. Agree or I’m bugging? 👇 Follow me—because I’m breaking all of this down piece by piece. #nyc #mta #fyp #ny

heres the problem. You are a transplant. You want all those things because it conveniences you and others who come here from the midwest or down south, that raise rents, gentrifies neighborhoods, and price out native NYers. Nobdoy gaf what you want




Rush hour on the biggest dedicated two-way bike lane in America

LOLOLOL What a fucking joke

China is using folding mobile photovoltaic power stations, long strips of solar panels that unfold to quickly generate electricity, bringing clean power to construction sites, disaster zones, and remote areas.

People who refuse to use AI are like farmers who refused to use tractors.
