I am being fed tons of pics of one-eyed cats so maybe I need to do this for the algorithm..
I care about public school, writing, childhood literacy, horror movies, poems, urban gardening, listening to the same bands I liked in high school, new music, Greenpoint, bad tv, good tv, and birds.

Federal agents many in masks at Broadway and Canal moments ago questioning a man, a bunch more agents just walked away. "Can i call my mom," the man asks, he's now being loaded into a car and being driven away. More TK @thecity.nyc
Why did they choose an actor with an extremely distinctive face?? He’s not the sort to morph
Oh, I love this. Thank you for showing up, thank you for writing this.
Haha we were rolling with the 3rd grade crew!
Yes I saw you! I’ll say hi next time. My son was the one with the Jack Skellington sign. I saw our friends/family in one of your other pics! Happy to see lots of Greenpoint representation!
Small world! My fam marched with this same group!
Proud of this queen with her foils for coming out, fist raised. #nokings No Kings, NYC
Proud of our kid for being so good at protesting, but I wish he didn’t have so much practice already. No Kings, NYC
Same but with The Weakerthans. I love them, but when I’m listening to them exclusively for days on end I know I’m unwell. If this is happening during the summer then I am in a full blown crisis.
You know what’s crazy? I knew all about the cats but had no idea he had THREE sons who are clearly very disappointing to him. Won’t be ICE agents. Couldn’t pass the g&t tests at 4 years old.
Tonight several people are going to read Curtis Sliwa’s Wikipedia for the first time and I am so envious of them all

It’s hard to explain this but Sliwa is a bad leader and a terrible individual—in many ways a harbinger of the violent indecency that plagues America—and yet great at being a New Yorker.
How much do you all spend on groceries? Cuomo freezes a bit. Sliwa goes off on prices. Mamdani agrees things are too expensive.

Q: Do you pay off your credit cards every month or carry debt?

Mamdani: I pay it off

Cuomo: I pay it off

Sliwa, grinning like a goon: I don’t have a credit card. Debit

murder was the case, etc
What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.
Oh I totally thought sliwa was just gonna wander off by the end there
Sliwa and Cuomo are sundowning
Sliwa was absolutely BAFFLED by Mamdani not marching in every single available parade
Q: New Yorkers love parades. You’ve all said you will be the mayor to all New Yorkers. Will you boycott any parades?

Sliwa: the duty of mayor to march in parades. I march in the Pulaski parade

Cuomo: I will march in every parade.

Mamdani: that’s a lot of parades I think I would be busy working

Glad to see we have a robust Parades’ Rights discourse in this city
Reposted by Shan (help I’m alive)
okay, credit where it’s due: “I don’t know if there’s a parade that doesn’t exist in New York City” is a pretty funny line from Cuomo

Sliwa on transportation: “I like to avoid yellow cabs. As you know I was shot in the back of a yellow cab in 1992 by the Gambinos.”

You can’t beat at NYC mayoral debate.
Can someone please name the goofy little troll who wrote those parade-themed mayoral debate questions?
Wow @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social thank you for actually addressing this tonight. We hear you 💪
This is a solid start, but the DOE needs a major overhaul. Teachers in NYC get trained largely in CUNY schools. We learn best practices, and then are sent into the field where we are forced to abandon what we learn to conform to flawed, expensive curricula and nonsense AI edtech. It’s disheartening.

sometimes your friend sends a tweet and you have no choice but to crosspost
