Cuomo with a *deep* misunderstanding of how NYC works.
The subway is faster and more reliable than the bus. People like living near the subway. Rent is higher near subway stops.
Saying that making the bus free would benefit "wealthy New Yorkers" is... not a thing any regular New Yorker would say?

[Me, a poor, on the subway, glowering jealously at all those fat cat, fancy pants rich people on the public bus]

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

MM refusing to do anything on climate shows that he puts disproportionate weight on the opinions of lobbyists for data centers, car manufacturers, dairy, etc cause support for government action on climate change actually unites people across the country..so who is he talking about?

In addition to being totally pathetic, he's also completely wrong.
EPA polls consistently show that the vast majority, across all ages, incomes , urban or rural, all want the government to take action.
So by polarising, he must mean that Micheal o Leary,Amazon, and Tirlan don't want it

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Headcanon: the Marvel stories published in the 1960s do not retroactively have technology and fashion from ~15 years ago. They *really did* have those levels of tech, and we've watched 60 years of progress happen in about 15 years of story-time.

A reminder that the minister in charge of the housing crisis for the past 5 years is now in charge of our climate response instead.

I was all set to begrudgingly vote for Humphreys, because I think Connolly *will* make multiple large unforced errors as President.
BUT…
Anyone who equivocates even a little bit on human rights is dead in the water for me.
Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, I guess?

Oh she can fuck right off "That legislation [the Gender Recognition Act 2015] was actually not passed by me, it was passed by a previous Minister. And the legislation is in place. And maybe it does need to be looked at.”"

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

Not sure you’ve seen these images here, but in the UK they’re arresting dangerous anti genocide protestors for “supporting terrorism”. You can sleep easier knowing these thugs are off the streets.
