Why do we not also have bogus statistics about how many will move out if Cuomo is elected?

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting mass exodus: poll

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday's mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, a new poll warns.

When asked, this person says the views that would get them killed by transgender baristas are "I voted for Trump" 🙃

The only reason I haven't deleted Twitter (also have not updated it to X) is so I can occasionally give in to curiosity and/or confirm screenshots are not fake

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

This tracks with what rich people in the audience were saying at a recent event I worked

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

My dog befriended a cop who was working the marathon today and when I told my wife she said we need to have a talk with him about how he chooses his friends.

I had no idea this was the origin of the name! (My Manhattan 1945 born mom grew up a fan, and that is why she hates the Yankees)

I mean, it's the most NYC thing ever to have named your team after the fact that people were being killed by beloved/reviled transit. And then to have that team stolen.

Living on the marathon route means having all your street corner garbage cans removed and all your mailboxes sealed up in the days before.

I've said this to so many parents over the years who are reluctant to buy their kids a graphic novel cuz they'll finish it so quickly. But then that copy gets reread until it falls apart.

We put out a cart of free books outside my bookstore in addition to giving out candy inside. Lots of books found new homes that!

Either we didn't get any Rumis at the store today or no one called me to the front when they stopped in. Can you show me your KPDH purple braided kids please?

I had walked my dog up to the park to mulch our Christmas tree and came back to insurrection on 1/6! This is a very relatable post!

That said, knowing how many stores have skimmers on their pinpads that result in people's EBT cards getting hacked, and typically cashed out at unethical bodegas, maybe I'm forgetting HOW MUCH capitalists hate poor people.

Why aren't grocery chain owners fighting for this to get resolved? Surely they know how much cash comes through their doors from EBT cards every month.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

Yes on the modest change fast track thing
Yes to the one about Lake Placid
No to moving city elections
Honestly the others are none of my business! I'm not a city planner.

Part of me wants to know why we're doing Ozymandias riffs today, and part of me knows it doesn't matter and that's not even the right question

Shalom Auslander has an amazing short story that basically plays this premise out to logical conclusion (what happens if you give a monkey consciousness)
