Gotta love Dems trying to be bipartisan on stuff like this, meanwhile now that Trump is in power he's denying grants to counties and cities unless they follow his anti dei executive orders.

I mean it's usually the power utility telling you to do that and they're the ones making deals with the data centers so I think the criticism is fairly directed.

I think especially in New York going after landlords, both housing and commercial, would do a great job at making it so smaller businesses (which New York has a ton of) don't have to raise prices and to make it so the minimum wage doesn't have to be as high. That's why I think his rent freeze policy and whatever else he is going to do against land lords will help a lot.

I mean Portland is pretty walkable, I live outside the city but still in the Metro area and whenever I head into the city I take public transit/walk everywhere. There definitely is still room for improvement but it's definitely pretty walkable depending on the part you're in, especially compared to the suburbs.

I mean they have been attempting to with ramping up the "Iran is just a week away from nukes." that they've been hitting for so many years now.

Damn they're really going after Cubans even though they tend to swing really conservative. They really are just letting the rascism get before political strategy.

Yeah that's fair, I think the main thing you can hope for is that a lot of Cuomo's support comes just from people who pick him just because they recognize him, which means they're probably not high propensity voters. Meanwhile a lot of Mamdani's support is grassroots which means hopefully a lot of his supporters are high propensity voters.

Actually there are more polls coming out that have Mamdani ahead now, still extremely close but I wouldn't call it a guaranteed win for Cuomo. Especially since we're just starting to see the ripple effects from the Mayoral debate and AOC's endorsement.

I mean for context with the TikTok comparison using a VPN didn't get you around the TikTok ban unless you also made an entirely new account.

The Israeli Shayetet 13 naval commandos are standing by to intercept the ship approximately 250 nautical miles (460 km) from Gaza. Israel fears that any live footage of the operation aired globally could damage its international reputation. Upholding its naval blockade, Israel is coordinating to ensure world coverage is minimized.

Yeah no duh going after a humanitarian mission will make you look bad. Can't wait to see the media either not cover it or spin it as these people supporting Hamas or Israel having the right to impose a blockade like this.

Meanwhile pedestrians get angry at me for riding on the side walk and tell me to ride in the road, there's no winning.

Looks like it could easily be my favorite game if they execute it well, love the expanse and very much want more of it after the show ended before finishing the books.
