A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.

1993: 1,927
1998: 629

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

you should read the Bible because if nothing else it will give you a very full set of language to talk about religious hypocrites and the iniquity of the rich and powerful

There are, of course, ways to save money in this business. Many US clothing factories run on what's known as a "piece rate" system, where workers are paid per operation, not by the hour. This system allows factories to skirt minimum wage laws.
It's also how we get US sweatshops

Two goals against Werder Bremen this evening secured the record for the Bayern Munich striker.
He now has 15 goals in just eight appearances this season.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
