So I’d used to follow my timeline for 10+ years; this website was basically for tracking likes & RTs.
This weekend, I took the opportunity to focus solely on my Mastodon timeline, and…I’m gonna keep doing that. Great job, ! 😐

.@NYCMayor, who has grown increasingly cranky with how he's covered by the press, tells @michaelgartland of why he's launching a newsletter to speak "directly" to New Yorkers: "You can report a distorted version of what I say. I want to speak directly to the people of this city."

A much needed response to the controversy surrounding the firing of an art history professor at Hamline who showed her students an artwork depicting Muhammad, a response that values secular academic freedom and respectful discourse—particularly Part 11.
Quote Tweet
Bismillah. Today, we are releasing a statement to clarify how our civil rights group identifies #Islamophobia, how we address depictions of Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him), and how we view the controversy at @HamlineU. Read this thread or the full statement below. 1/12

North Dakota introduced SB2199 that requires all state funded entities to misgender trans people or else be fined $1,500. If the person's gender is ambiguous, they need a DNA test. Compelled speech and undue search and seizure all in one bill.

All I wanna know about the Prince Harry book is how many pages does it take for him to get to "The Invisibles" stuff? Does he go in-depth on the hunting live humans for sport and summoning dread insectile archons out of liquid mirrors, or is he saving that for the next book?

One of the most striking things about this whole process, to me, is what it has revealed about Hochul’s approach to governance. No one wanted this fight. Everyone I know was trying to work collaboratively. ASC offered — and continues to offer — many off ramps. (1/7)

Cuomo-style tactics without Cuomo-style leverage. Cuomo had a weaker GOP legislature for most of his tenure and decades of Albany experience under his belt. Hochul is going to have a very hard time recreating that. twitter.com/ZackFinkNews/s…

People forget: Rudy Giuliani was the most hated man in New York City on September 10, 2001, and his departure from City Hall highly anticipated.
Quote Tweet
The very title of CNN's documentary — "Giuliani: What Happened to America’s Mayor?" — perpetuates the myth of Rudy as a New York CIty hero transformed into a monster by Washington D.C.
The truth, of course, is that he was always shit — a racist thug born to be Trump's henchman.
