I mean I’m not trying to brag but I was made Game Room Manager of the Arcade at the San Antonio Bandera Rd Peter Piper Pizza at the age of 15.
Was I good at it? I dunno.
Did I abuse my power and give my friends unlimited credits on the Tekken cabinet? Absolutely.

My prediction for the first NYC mayoral election debate between Mamdani and Adams:
Zohran: Adams has taken every opportunity to squeeze tenants, with his hand-picked appointees, jacking up rents on stabilized apartments by 9%

8/ The next stop is for the bill to go to the Senate. If HR 9495 becomes law, we’ll be entering a dangerous era where nonprofits can be shut down with little evidence and no accountability. Today it’s pro-Palestinian groups—tomorrow it could be any organization critical of government policy.

Can’t emphasize enough how important it is to start making incremental changes to your diet and habits that limit exposure (trying to purchase locally-sourced meat and veg if you have access and financial privilege) and considering a diet limited in animal products. It’s going to get way worse.
