LOL this is perfect. mamdani trying not to criticize trump directly to his face and purposefully looking awkward/uncomfortable in the room while trump desperately tries to get mamdani to like him with a self effacing joke
Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?”
TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”
ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

we could solve the housing crisis today with this One Weird Trick: making new jersey the sixth borough of new york city
If you took a square with corners in New York City and Philadelphia and built it out at the same average density of Brooklyn, it would hold roughly the entire US population bsky.app/profile/tr0r...
Here's a fun related one. You can remove the entire population on the 3x8 mile island of Manhattan and fit the entire state population of Wyoming in it... 3 times over.

begging and pleading californians to get over their addiction to cars
Almost half the Waymos on California streets are driving around empty. They're either waiting for the next customer or en route for a pickup.
If robotaxis scale, anything close to that level of deadheading would create crushing gridlock.

pretty funny that a "hostile business climate" is always "taxes are too high" and never "there's no tax-supported infrastructure for a business to use to thrive"
When Amazon 1st announced they would open a 2nd HQ outside of Seattle, the usual WA conservatives gloated that progressives making wealthy corporations pay what they owe in taxes had backfired.
Flash forward 8 years and Amazon's HQ2 is a bust & Seattle's Jumpstart tax is keeping our services afloat

pretty wild that tech decided they are entitled to all data everywhere now and you can't do anything about it without wrecking the app's usability
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

pretty wild the degree to which republicans are waging all-out war on democratic voting cities and people
Republicans worried that steep Medicaid cuts in their big tax bill would shutter rural hospitals. To pass it, they included a $50B rural health care fund.
But a very different group of hospitals will bear the brunt of the law: large urban safety-net hospitals.

there are entire industries just waiting to cannibalize themselves
"The director of the Museum of the City of New York, Stephanie Hill Wilchfort, said she no longer needs to hire copy editors to work on annual reports. [She is turning to AI.]"
This should be embarrassing to admit.

No more big city mayors who hate big cities.
After failing to stop a major state housing bill from becoming law, Los Angeles leaders are turning to plan B: Delaying Senate Bill 79's implementation and pushing for unspecified legislative changes next year. My dispatch for @politico.com Pro subscribers subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...
POLITICO Pro: Los Angeles failed to defeat a major housing law, so it's turning to Plan B: Delay, delay, delay
A report from the city planning department outlines strategies for pushing off many of the effects of SB 79 through 2030.

we need a ✨️wealth tax✨️
Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

turns out all the dems in the senate were born in the 1940s and think it's 1978 still
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"
