Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

NEW: A new law was supposed to make Albany's police oversight board among the strongest in the country. But more than a year later, the Albany Police Department has refused to hand over evidence, ignored subpoenas, and stonewalled investigations. https://bit.ly/3qdr5G3

Albany Police Ignore Investigations, Neutering Oversight Lawbit.ly Albany empowered its community oversight board. But the police department and the city’s top attorney are stonewalling.

Sorry to keep bringing over tweets about my weird Mayor, but this might be the strangest thing I’ve ever heard an elected official say?

I just want a normal mayor. Why can't I have a normal mayor. https://www.businessinsider.com/eric-adams-curtis-mayfield-concert-paralyzed-quote-2021-6

I would like to live in a world where no one really cares which billionaire owner of a Nazi-friendly social media site had the best zinger about one of the other ones, and it's vaguely embarassing that any of them actually use their own platforms.

Bluesky’s chance to prove that they’re equally committed to this being a space for ranting about Eric Adams and the NYPD’s latest bullshit as it is for posting Barbie memes and questioning literally all of the creative choices on AJLT

Direct from Mosseri: they DON’T want to encourage politics and hard news posting on Threads, and the “scrutiny, negativity…or integrity risks that come along with them.”

Carly Rae Jepsen should be allowed to commit a few murders tbh

God told him to do it

Mayor Eric Adams said he kept a photo of a friend — a fallen officer — in his wallet for decades. New York City Hall aides created it. https://nyti.ms/44xNpbX

NYC real estate, hedge fund donors and a confederation of pro police interests, including the NYPost and many carceral liberals decided to throw their money and media weight behind Eric Adams because they know he’d be a rubber stamp for all their policies. All the goofy shit and lying is incidental

Threads makes a lot of sense when you remember what Zuck wanted the Metaverse to be: a heavily branded, inscrutable morass where you might have a fleeting, benign interaction with a celebrity who immediately tries to sell you an Apple Watch.

The thing is that neither Facebook nor Instagram show me my friends, but rather show me organizations, advertisements, influencer videos, more ads, oh look there's a friend!!!, another organization, a spam request, someone sharing hate speech, more ads... why would threads be different?

I downloaded threads and it’s an assault on the senses. I feel blasphemous saying this, but maybe it’s fine that bluesky doesn’t have gifs?

Forced to continue living together because Eric Adams' rent increases make it too expensive to find a new place. The most relatable Bill de Blasio has ever been.

In 2006, the new acting NYPD Commissioner “was hit with a slew of misconduct charges related to a stop-and-frisk incident against an unnamed man in East Harlem.” Allegedly threatened him w/ sexual violence. Called him “motherf*cker” repeatedly. This the new head of NYPD.

what’s really remarkable about the case is how little guidance it gives about what types of discrimination are now functionally legal. it’s a potentially massive hole blown into civil rights laws, but there’s very little clarity

A saving grace to 303 Creative doctrinally was that it (kinda sorta allegedly) involved actual language as part of the customization. That could allow it to have relatively little damage. In the short term it changes little. But whether the crack becomes an open floodgate, lots to be nervous about.

“Washes away shedding,” indeed

My cat is blissfully unaware of the fact that I fled Twitter for yet another platform on which to post pictures of her. I did this all for her.

The amount New Yorkers will spend on NYPD overtime alone this year could pay for quality rental housing for all 17,000 families living in homeless shelters (including 25,000 children) for two full years.

For my second post [tweet? sky? cloud? what do we call them here?] - I’m going to complain about the fact that the ~$107b NYC budget, with massive increases to NYPD spending, was voted on and approved yesterday, but the full, detailed budget documents still have not been posted online

I’m just happy to be here
