For me, it's been New York or nowhere since Day 1 👶 and it always will be 🗽I always knew the people of New York would not bend the knee ✊ no matter what the fascist Oompa-Loompa-in-Chief lied to the contrary 🤡 and Mamdani's resounding victory backed by historic voter turnout is just the beginning 🇺🇸

I knew speaking at @jsconf.bsky.social 2025 would be hard, because so much of what I had to talk about I learned from Mikeal Rogers – and am still learning even now. The goal of the talk was to tell part of that story, a story about how the web isn't finished, yet 💡
