If you go to the press and talk about how the computer can feel, your computer license should be revoked. Elephants call each other by their names. Life is too precious. We don’t need the computer that drinks water

Finally finished the largest piece of bobbin lace I’ve made so far. Very happy with how it came out.
I learned so much working on it and it’s fun to see my skills grow as I progressed 🧶

No lace project is complete without displaying it on the cat who did everything in her power to hinder its completion

Not a criticism of Mamdani in particular, but as long as we allow massively funded, heavily armed right-wing paramilitaries to have veto power over every aspect of public policy, it will be impossible to enact even the most basic social democratic reforms that a lot of liberals say they want.
Before his election, Mamdani was adamant: The CCRB should get final say in NYPD discplinary cases. Now, after retaining Tisch as NYPD commish, Mamdani's changing his tune, saying he's mainly focused on ensuring CCRB's "recommendations" are "taken seriously." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/20/m...
Mamdani softens hard line on role of NYPD watchdog in discipline after Tisch agrees to stay on
in the wake of announcing Wednesday that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch will stay in her post under his administration, Mayor-elect Mamdani took a step back.
