The older I get, the more I think the most important quality a person can have is the ability to handle gentle teasing.

The internet and world are currently being destroyed by people who absolutely cannot.

This does NOT apply to NYC, and if you want this to happen in NYC, you have to vote YES on Ballot Proposal #6.

Just now: New York's highest court has UPHELD a recent law that moves many of the state's off-year elections to *even years* rather than odd years, to boost turnout.

(The GOP had sued, and a trial court judge had struck down the law, but that's now over.)

The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

In #Switzerland, fine for a speeding driver is based (1) on how far over the limit the driver is going
(2) on how much the driver earns.

One man caught driving his Ferrari at 137 km/h the in an 80 km/h zone in a village near St. Gallen was fined 300,000 Swiss Francs (today, $375,000 US).

An underappreciated improvement in the world is how YouTube comments used to be the stupidest place on the internet and now somehow the top comment is always a pretty funny joke, a fascinating episode from someone’s life, or the most heartbreakingly poignant shit you ever heard
