Zohran Mamdani explains that thousands and thousands of New Yorkers are already eligible for free and reduce public transportation, but because of the bureaucratic hurdles they never get enrolled in the program.

That's why he wants to just make the bus free.

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

It's so frustrating to me that we, as a society, accept a lot of shitty things because "that's just how it is" instead of coming together to demand action and improvement.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

I have never understood how any regular person could think businesses want AI for any reason other than minimizing the number of employees they have to pay. Like...how is that not obvious?

Whenever the critique of some fictional work is that the racists are too comically racist, that the racism is so overt as to belabor the point, and the decent white characters aren't given enough credit, it's an immediate indicator that the speaker has little to no understanding of history

Black people have always known what white people were about in this country. I’m not surprised they’re coming for birthright citizenship or that they’re snatching people off the streets, or that the bad economy isn’t stopping the power consolidation. White people want supremacy more than joy.

The Trump administration has removed MLK Day and Juneteenth as holidays that include free entrance to national parks, adding the president’s birthday instead
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Someone less night said they're ready to be done with cash. I continue to be dismayed by the public's eagerness to exist in a completely digital world. Everyday we happily cede more power to the billionaire class in the name of what, convenience?

These are not good people. They are not adding to the human experience. They want to make money off of every moment of your existence. There's no limit to their greed

Damn. K&W Cafeteria closed all locations today after 88 years in business. I have fond memories of being a kid and feeling grown up as I got my tray and selected my food and carried it to our table. It was a short amount span of time, all told, but the memories endure. I hope the staff will be ok

A point I've been making for a while now. They want us all to spend money while charging us more money and refusing to increase our pay. If the prices go up and the income does not then we run out of money. Surely the oh so smart business people understand this concept?
If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program.

Each month over 3,000 households will get an unconditional $500.

If there's one food aversion of mine that I wish I could overcome, it's eggs. I really wish I could get into eating them. I've tried over the years to see if anything changes and I just can't do it. The closest I can get is the yolk for ramen or deviled eggs. Overall I'm just disgusted by the taste
