Even the unboxy ones are unpleasant.
This era will be remembered for a lot unpleasant things, but I sincerely believe that “boxy white houses with black trim” will be among them.

LOL. Like we delete anything. It just gets cut and pasted into misc.doc and lives on the desktop for eternity.
The whole point of being an academic is that you need to be willing to spend three days creating a 700-word footnote that you will later delete. And you need to LIKE IT.

I think they’re a little full of themselves to tout their arrival as the time when Williamsburg was having a “cultural awakening” (um, Northsix and Galapagos), but this definitely sucks and is just another giant leap in the enshittification of Williamsburg generally and N6 in particular.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is on Capitol Hill today.

He tells me about Zohran Mamdani announcing he's moving into Gracie Mansion:
"Beware of the ghost. I told [Zohran] about it. So the ghost is there. It's a friendly ghost, as long as you're doing right by the city. If you don't become right by the city, he turns into a poltergeist."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreigis3istuaryrpny4ksmoh46xcs3yfowvfuj3t3iouxpy5uiyw2fq@jpeg)

Holy crap. He's actually in New York?
Mayor Adams, talking about a Harlem playground renovation, notes he has 28 days left in City Hall & calls today's announcement "only the beginning of what we're going to do."
"This is like the playoffs," says Adams who dumped his reelection bid amid record low approval ratings.

“challenge scientific orthodoxy” is a choice, over “promote quackery”, but I’m sure @nytimes.com knows that and is comfortable normalizing promoting quackery.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Does this mean that NY gets to keep all of its tax dollars? Or do we still have to share the wealth with red states?
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
