Found this photo of Cuomo and his brother in an old issue of Judge magazine.

Met Gad Saad at a cafe in Montreal about 10 years ago. He spent an hour trying to convince my friends that he was a decent man worth going home with and getting frustrated when they declined the increasingly desperate advances of a man 30 years their senior.

Great, now I’m going to spend my afternoon coming up with an xPPA stat and simming every season going back to 1901 in OOTP to figure out how many more hitters could have come to the plate 60+ times under the current and 2002 postseason structure 🤣

Nick Ashbourne @nickashbourne.bsky.social · 6h

In MLB history, 334 hitters have come to the plate 60+ times in a playoff run.

Of that group, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 2025 ranks second by wRC+ (248) behind only Barry Bonds in 2002.

A terrible thing about the internet is you can watch a guy's Mario Kart 64 videos and go "Yeah this is kinda neat" and then one morning you wake up and find out the guy has made a blog post along the lines of "Black people prove phrenology is not only real but necessary"

In Milwaukee you could hand a child over to a pedophile serial killer then make jokes about reuniting two lovers and end up head of the police union.

I too like to blame victims of capitalism for their suffering by drawing a funny little hat on them; you can’t yap a big game about protecting voting rights and then mock the disenfranchised who don’t even vote because they rightly see the shell game of the American Republic

Seems to be focused on the previous admin’s press secretary who, much like Leavitt, defended Nazi and Fascist behavior so long as it was inflicted on an outgroup (in her case, Palestinians).

Our schools thrive when our buildings are anchors for communities and services rather than an anchor dragging our kids down. We need more teachers with my background, teachers from our communities who our students and families can see themselves in rather than a faceless chatbot we throw prompts at

Does an AI understand how it felt for me, raised in public housing, given a choice of the streets or some place called college that might as well have been Narnia in my family, to read Paul Willis or bell hooks and finally have a name for the sea this project fish didn't know my scales were immured?

I need to know my students' stories, reasons for being, what animates their souls, where did they come from, how did everything that's happened in their lives before entering our classroom inform how they will approach our class. Does an AI know my students? No, an LLM can scrape our SIS for data.

I’m going to “democratize” a thing by giving poor folks a bad approximation of the thing they need.

Novikoff was previously a math teacher in New York City, first in Harlem, and then at a highly rated public school, Stuyvesant High School. In an interview with TechCrunch, he said almost all the students at Stuyvesant received tutoring, whereas many of the students in Harlem didn’t, and the difference in their educational experience was stark.

“[Tutoring] is by far the most effective intervention that can be provided to kids for education, and it’s not even close,” Novikoff said. “It’s really unfair that not everyone gets this opportunity. That’s why I’m pursuing a mission to democratize access to private tutoring.”

Harris was complicit in the genocide which didn’t begin when Trump assumed office this past January. When pressed on the Biden administration’s role in the genocide in 2024, Harris deferred to the VP’s traditional status as a figurehead.

Many voters took that as a shirking of her duty.

I think what the Mamdani's-dad's-cousin-is-his-aunt non-story reveals about white sociopolitics writ large is not merely that they will turn anything into an opportunity to distrust a person of colour, but "extended 'family'" is anathema to a certain flavour of whiteness, out of ignorance or spite.

It’s an abusive parent, punching you in the face and telling you to stop hitting yourself. The Middle East was at peace when the Ottomans controlled it and it had to be destroyed in terms of infrastructure and it’s people to justify western colonialism after World War I.

I’m familiar with plateaus, thousands of ‘em; who controls the means of desire production? The same class accelerating capitalism to its end form.

I’m more inclined to agree with Parenti’s interpretation of Fascism as the end goal of capitalism and the leisure class.

I’d say there’s a Parenti excerpt for this and just post a several hundred word quote from Blackshirts and Reds and call it a day.

The same ownership group that committed character assassinations of Pedro, Manny and Francona on their way out of Boston could only call Betts “greedy” while refusing to pay their concession workers a fair wage.
