you’re also NOT supposed to feed wild animals because it harms them more than it helps them, so you’re in the right even if it’s just because you don’t feel like it lol

this version's gotta involve him successfully suing Tesla for so much that it necessitates El*n having to sell Twitter for bargain basement prices
when I was giving my mom the rundown on congestion pricing and said the governor proposed "alternative funding," my mom was immediately like "ok yeah but even if they somehow find the money, it defeats the purpose because that won't fix traffic." make my mom the governor
In the Bronx just now, Gov. Hochul on congestion pricing:
"I made the decision to not go forward, to pause at this time, because ... I think a $15 toll at this time is too much," Hochul said.
"I also committed that those (MTA) projects will go forward," she said.
truly incredible how lacking in self-awareness this comment is. you know what shouldn't be placed on the backs of everyone in Manhattan? Long Island's traffic
this quote perfectly captures how coddled suburbanites are.
they are a primary source of traffic driving into Manhattan! I live in Manhattan and don’t have a car and have to breathe your air pollution!

@markyarm
It’s unreal how much of a shitty, controlling power move this is… like it honestly seems like it would be much more cumbersome with a second person getting involved. Can’t imagine it would be helpful for anyone that doesn’t have mobility issues
Commercial Observer not mincing words: Hochul's "legacy-defining choice" on Congestion Pricing alienated "the business community, including commercial real estate, as well as lawmakers, advocates and millions of New Yorkers who take transit every day."
🚨BREAKING NEWS: NY LEGISLATURE IS NOT VOTING TONIGHT ON HOCHUL’S PLAN TO KILL CONGESTION PRICING
They do not have the votes (yet)! Call your state senator & assemblymember first thing in the morning and tell them to save congestion pricing and vote NO on Hochul’s absurd plan!

sadly I don’t think that’s true because I saw tweets from people claiming they were on the plane and that it was the funniest thing they’d ever seen, which is the absolute worst thing I’ve ever heard. vile people

grad school got me a better job than undergrad so personally I think it makes more sense to apply this to regular college, which was mainly something I did because everyone said I should (cult)

pretty strong argument against homeschooling when it’s clear that your reading comprehension is so bad you failed to notice this article doesn’t mention public school once
@AnarchOnion
to the credit of the actual Shapiro who did this, it's also a garbage take so comparing him to one of the bad Shapiros doesn't seem totally out of line

@markyarm
That does make it less brainwormed but yeah still sounds way out of the realm of any job that isn’t explicitly like “caregiver” oriented. Sorry you had to deal with that!

being married isn't the same as having female friends and knowing how to interact with women has nothing to do with your social life.

At least in the northeast, it was found that the majority of cases came from Europe and not China so banning flights from China was little more than racism on par with calling it “the Chinese virus.” Thanks for playing, please try again

@amandamull
I feel like every time I’ve watched her so far all they’ve talked about is how she’s off her game! And they try to couch it in “she’s so critical of HERSELF, she’s never satisfied with her performance” like they’re trying to shift blame off themselves and that makes it even WORSE

This cop should be bankrupted and forced to pay for everything this kid needs for the rest of his life but we all know he’s going to be put on admin leave with no other repercussions. I hate it here
@RaxKingIsDead
It also seems insane in the year 2023 to be like “I didn’t know tipping was a thing” when all Europeans do is complain on the internet about how stupid tipping in the US is

The political core of the show is nauseating to me now and it sometimes feels like that overwhelms everything else but yeah nothing will ever beat this in my mind
I see
@nytimes
is back on its bullshit about how terrible New York City is for drivers. Of course congestion pricing will cost drivers, that’s the whole point???

He also effectively blocked the New York State legislature from codifying Roe v. Wade for YEARS because he couldn't not cater to the IDC, which refused to let the Reproductive Health Act pass

says if he went on the train and asked 100 people if they wanted to see more cops on the train, 75 would say yes.

so what this really confirms is that Kaitlin Olson is the best actor out of all of them (except maybe tied with Charlie because of the song)
it would be the stupidest fucking outcome possible for Andrew Cuomo to have resigned in disgrace for being a persistent sex pest (allegedly), only to win a special election after Eric Adams resigns in disgrace for making New York the Istanbul of America

Lol almost every article about his wrongdoing has said that he has broken state and federal laws so, nice try but no. What world do you live in that sexual misconduct is legal?
@ambercrollo
I’m equally obsessed with this storyline which just makes it look like a progression from “nerd baby goes to college” to “nerd baby graduates”

This is probably right but if the whole thing is just straight up unconstitutional I don't get why it's done that way. Why is it necessary to wait for someone's life to be negatively impacted before they can do anything about it?
Absolutely classic to not know that New York has no helmet laws, which it shouldn’t because they don’t make cycling safer. So what rule is being broken that would qualify this for a lawsuit?
Everyday I see folks on Bikes following no lights or stop signs… it’s brave of them but for sure unsafe. How is
#citibike
not facing a class action law suit for influencing NYers to Bike without a helmet. Literally anyone can hop on a bike in the busiest city in US W no training

Perseus was celebrated as a hero for beheading a rape victim who “deserved it,” so that’s why Perseus, because fuck that guy. If you read the two v short paragraphs in the link or actually understood the whole myth, this wouldn’t have been such a hard question for you to answer
@RyanHoulihan
I can’t believe there are MULTITUDES to how bad this is because what I read about this earlier is that (allegedly) part of the reason she did this is her boyfriend was a heroin addict and relapsed and she wanted him to feel bad
This is the worst political flip flop I have ever witnessed.
Congestion pricing will benefit millions of New Yorkers by reducing traffic and pollution, funding the subways. Years of planning up in smoke

I think it’s because he mostly looks like he’d be harmless. he’s like a gentle giant, physically unintimidating. so it’s shocking and more funny when he’s verbally ruthless

One of my most vivid high school memories (not New York but in Boston) was a guy pointing and yelling, “that’s a rice bag!” at me. It was, in fact, a weird tote made out of a rice bag, so that’s on me

Lol but like it’s not that hard to be a real advocate and take the initiative by talking to these people about what they think is important instead of just waiting for someone else to do it for you and signing off once they do all the work 🤷🏻♀️

@UHC
is trash but it feels like a real kick in the face to see this the day after I was forced to enroll in one of their plans because I lost access to Medicaid
Why are so many doctors being forced to take out payday loans to make ends meet?
Trying to answer this question led us to a giant monopoly that's been slowly plundering every part of our healthcare system.
