On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

The world is a fiery mess, and my heart breaks
But my partner & I spent much of this week deeply immersed in nature, making friends furry, scaley & leafy, skinny dipping in rivers & bays & ocean, and the grief subsides.
If more of us got our kit off and jumped in the water, the world would improve

SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.

social media bans and other flavors of internet censorship are the alcohol prohibition of the 21st century. the underlying problems are real but the solution is moralistic nonsense.
The social media ban is the Platonic ideal of contemporary politics:
An ill-conceived, superficial "we must do something" response to a serious systemic issue
The real harm it will cause terrifies me
Can it inspire us to create a better politics?

It’s actually awful to pretend to bereaved parents and to worried parents that this “ban” will stop cyber bullying. As this article suggests, it won’t at all, and could just make it less easy to find and manage.
You don’t fix a social problem with a (badly designed) tech fix.

Banning access to social media for young people is incredibly stupid. It won't work, technically. It will create new inequalities & barriers.
