The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Congrats! Best candidate for mayor I've seen since I first moved to NYC. Would love to get a pair of t-shirts or merch from the campaign!

A National Weather Service office in Kentucky was scrambling to cover the overnight forecast on Friday as severe storms moved through much of the eastern U.S.

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.

Why isn't anyone investigating the healthcare / health insurance industry in the US? I dunno think whoever does would get a lot of public attention and support right now. If someone is please point me to it.

Why aren't news outlets talking about the healthcare / health insurance industry's absolute systemic failure? I suspect most are unfazed by the midtown accident. That's what it was right, an accident. We can't determine it was anything else without more proof. Lolz.

LinkedIn used to work. It used to help get a job. Now, it seems to be full of stale and/or fake jobs. How does one get a job in web/software development now? Perplexed by current state of job market.
