"Disgraziato" is a real Italian word, but it means "unfortunate", not "disgraceful".

OMG, burst out laughing at Cuomo saying that Mamdani gave the finger to a Christopher Columbus statue and "That's a DISGRAZIATO"

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

Just tuning into the debate -- has there been a question about the BQE canteliever collapse/rebuild yet? I continue to think it may end up defining/consuming the next mayor's term, and no one is talking about it!

Great piece here (and why AI regulation is one of my top three priorities). No surprise that Newsom caved to money, it’s why he should never be president.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.
Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete
The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

If you're running in a Dem primary for Senate, preemptively endorsing the filibuster is already a red flag.

... but not knowing the filibuster for lower court judges has been gone for more than a decade is even worse, it's indisputable evidence of incompetence.

Oh this is actually worse, we haven't had a judicial filibuster since 2013 dawg

Andrew Cuomo: taxpayers should pay for $60 million in legal bills for my sexual harassment allegations

Also Andrew Cuomo: $60 million is too much money to spend on a pilot program to deliver cheaper groceries

Janet Mills would support keeping filibuster if elected to the Senate
The Democratic governor’s stance is shared by Sen. Susan Collins, the Republican whom Mills entered the race to defeat earlier this week.

Cuomo's only criticism of ICE's behavior is that they answer to Trump instead of himself.

Asked why he thinks he lost the Democratic primary, Cuomo said that he just learned that he needs to be on social media more but his agenda is the same as the primary.

“I’m the Democrat, though I’m not on the Democratic line” - Cuomo

[trying to let it go, but I can’t let it go]

IT’S NOT RENT CONTROL

a tiny, tiny sliver of NYC’s housing stock is rent controlled, an old an nearly obsolete policy. Mamdani has said many times it’s rent stabilization, which is quite common (1M apts) and different.

Cuomo should know this imho!
a chart from the 2023 census/HPD housing and vacancy survey showing only 24K apartments in NYC are rent controlled while 996K apartments are rent stabilized

Cuomo is a canny politician - I bet this performance gets him at least 40% of the NYPD vote in Suffolk, Nassau, Rockland, and Westchester counties

Cuomo’s desperate final act is bankrolled by the very billionaires who brought us Donald Trump and the broken status quo.

New Yorkers are ready for change.
