Every word. They’re not pro-Palestinian. They’re pro-Hamas. The ceasefire crowd is disturbed by a ceasefire that promises a good future for Gaza - because it means Hamas loses power.

Why won’t the “Ceasefire Now” crowd demand a ceasefire now? Sam Harris joins Call Me Back to reflect on 2 years since October 7th. Listen here: lnk.to/u2iTaG



co-opting a day of jewish mourning. no call for hamas to accept the peace deal. this man is a disgrace to new york.

If you feel compelled to protest Israel today, on October 7th, if you can’t wait one day, you’re an antisemite.

This post is unavailable.

This was me too

It’s October 7th. Two years ago, I would’ve described myself as progressive. That day showed me I was standing on the side of people that are truly evil. I really held two contradictory views from being in the movement. I’ve heard all these things about Israel abusing the…



Exciting news in media today. @TheFP has been a strong voice of reason lately, especially against the rise in antisemitism.

NYC is somehow the greatest city in the world despite having the dumbest politicians at every level of government

This has to be a bit, right? I know these Ayn Rand bros think deregulation is the Lord’s Prayer, but ffs safety isn't optional here. Natural gas is volatile and dangerous and therefore only licensed professionals should do the work—that should be abundantly clear.

I don’t care if you do JavaScript or not, or if you use Bun or not, I think this article by @lydiahallie is absolutely a must-read for every developer. It’ll change the way you think about building performant systems. It’s on my top 10 dev articles. bun.com/blog/behind-th…

feels like a dark day for the country. this isn't the way.


there’s almost nothing in Mamdani’s platform that I support, but his plan to expand rent control is likely to cause the worst long term damage to the city

On the public cries for ill-advised rent control policies, @judgeglock writes, “If the public identifies a problem and economists tell politicians there is no easy solution, the politicians will find one nevertheless.” thefp.com/p/is-there-a-d…



fact check: true

People love to talk crap about Williamsburg, but it’s legitimately one of the nicest and most livable neighborhoods in the entire country.



lately half the time I call an uber/lyft (late night in borough transit deserts) the driver will accept the request then drive 15 mins the wrong direction in a game of cancel chicken. I can’t wait for waymo.

If there’s one place on Earth that was NOT meant for self-driving cars, it’s NYC. This is a really bad idea. nydailynews.com/2025/08/22/tes…



we’re hard at work to help more americans own a stake in the economy. hiring software engineers in nyc, dm if interested.

"Most Americans own no assets" –@Abude_al_asaad "There is a real problem going on in society right now… and we have a solution for that. It may be perfect, it may not be perfect. But for the people coming after us, we have a question: what’s your plan?” “We don’t think the…



i thought that (thanks to bun) 2025 would finally be the year of our lord when i stopped dealing with esm vs cjs bs. then i tried deploying an expo app to vercel. maybe next year.


this is part of my daily bike commute and I’ve seen a LOT of people getting tickets here lately. huge waste of resources by NYPD and @NYCMayor

Cyclists are being punished for NYC's poor design on the Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge. Good thing that the City doesn't intend to finish the Delancey Street redesign until 2029!

Moving to a new city isn’t a sin you need to atone for lmfao get a grip

Every transplant should have to volunteer somewhere!! @macyagilliam



this piece in @TheFP shows that it’s possible to criticize Israel without just parroting hamas propaganda

“The whole concept of the strategy to use aid as pressure on Hamas was flawed at its very core,” writes @HavivRettigGur. Israel believed hunger would force Hamas to yield, but it only helped their strategy. thefp.com/p/haviv-rettig…
