Dear @gothamist.com I notice so many keep calling the location of our new mayor’s swearing in as ‘abandoned’ - why is that- I get that we don’t use it any more but it is an historical site! People visit there on purpose! I find the word abandoned as negative. Am I wrong?

Why @wnyc @npr.org
@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social must you refer to the new mayor’s swearing in location as ‘abandoned’ WHY? It’s historic, it’s actually a tourist destination for those interested in NYC HISTORY - the word ‘abandoned’ sounds negative - It is the most fabulous place.

@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social such a good segment today with the mayor elect of Jersey City. #jamessolomon Hearing young politicians such as him gives me a smidgeon of hope - our country is such a mess and I am grateful for folks who are willing to wade in and try to make things better.

I really really enjoyed your Diane Keaton piece in the @nytimes.com this evening @manohladargis.bsky.social - your reaction to “Something’s Gotta Give” was spot on! - She was a real favorite of mine. So thanks. 🌺

Say @emilynussbaum.bsky.social I enjoyed your Ben Folds piece in the Aug 18th issue. I’m a fan. Hope he’s heard Mr Springsteen’s stand on the state of our country. NOT dead behind the eyes. 😉

This is Horus. He got a lot of attention on a recent flight in Mexico. Clearly the other passengers have never flown with someone so handsome. 14/10 we're told he was very well behaved (TT: denniabuendagalvn, paulinagtza_, cheetahbash, cristianjbetancourt)

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing.

“I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

New requirements that Social Security recipients go online or in person to a field office to access key benefits, instead of making a phone call, could pose barriers to people in rural communities who lack internet access or transportation.

Yes Brian @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social
It is an issue about FREE SPEECH - I certainly don’t know the details about Mr. Khalil but I support his right to speak whether I agree or not. This current administration is trying to silence our voices and we MUST rise up against those actions.

Just a side note @nicollewallace.bsky.social I could swear you are wearing some pretty gorgeous looking purple shoes today. Am I right? ☺️

Dear @tntsportsus.bsky.social it’s great you show hockey games but obvious bias of the announcers & intermission crew towards the Rangers is unacceptable. They’ve clearly not done their research on Bruins these last weeks as B’s games have vastly improved but you’d never know it by these guys. 🙄
