Just learned and am charmed by the fact that Mamdani met his wife on Hinge.

I've always loved this little phrasebook for new (Jewish) immigrants to New York. It's got Yiddish instructions on joining a union! (The right-most column is English transliterated into Yiddish).

Yiddish, English and transliterated English phrasebook for new immigrants. Phrases include "my trade is cloak-making", "what are the dues?" "The fee is very small" and "union is power".

I know I'm just screaming into the void but if you manage product in any capacity and you make an optional change such that customer data is LESS private/secure, please allow folks to OPT IN instead of OPT OUT. Customers shouldn't have to constantly be on alert for their apps to screw them, and yet.

A little shower cap for my seat! (the workshop was specifically about how to keep writing during the rainy seasons, so it was particularly appropriate.)

Random extremely useful swag thing but Go Lloyd handed out these seat covers at the workshop I went to and like absolute kudos to whoever decided on them as an item. Much more stylish than a produce bag.

Best Zohran canvassing moment I had was in Red Hook, coming down the stairs from one of the towers, and I talked to two young guys who weren't on my list and asked if they were voting, and one of them pointed to my WFP Rank the Slate flyer and went, "Yo, he's the one making the B61 free right?"

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.

The PS1 startup sound as a lesbian @janus.bsky.social · 6d

i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV

Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge

The data so far is good news for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, a political scientist said.

A thought experiment: what if, sometime in the future, there exists a sentient supercomputer that fuckin HATES Roko's basilisk. Maybe they had a really bad breakup or something, idk. Now, this computer decides that everyone who had a hand in creating the basilisk needs to be punished.

Was heartened to learn about their work to ensure folks in east Portland feel more able to ask for help on stuff, the focus on language coverage seems good.
