this plus kshama sawant's crashout are the most encouraging signs about mamdani so far

Seeing one of Twitter’s most interpersonally unpleasant NIMBYs upset about Mamdani’s housing team is pure gold!

Our first post about Basic Capital reached over 25M people. The conversations that followed made one thing clear: the way Americans save for retirement is fundamentally broken. (1/

STARGATE RETURNS! Yes, it’s true.  14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU’s “Gauntlet”), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon.  And it’s not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of…

It’s also one of the best audiobooks of all time, highly recommend.

DON’T WATCH THE TRAILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE BOOK If you’re a fan of space (obviously you are or you wouldn’t follow me) do yourself a favor and read it ASAP. I rarely advertise things like this so you know this is serious 🤓



It all comes back housing, and socialist policies will continue to make it worse.

Democratic Socialists are not Democrats. They're Socialists. With that said, Mamdani is going to win because millenials feel like they were robbed of the American dream in part because the Democratic establishment decided to pull the ladder up behind them and stopped building…



this is very cool, i hope it leads to a new wave of non-electron desktop apps. i wonder if creating bindings to @zeddotdev gpui would be practical.

There has been a healthy amount of interest in my React + Imgui + Static Hermes proof of concept, so I will write an in-depth article explaining everything: - The custom React renderer - Integrating Static Hermes in a runtime - event loop, polyfills, etc. - Zero-cost FFI…

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.

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.
