I saw a The New York Times story about New York City trying to use birth control to combat its rat problem, so I had Google Gemini write lyrics about it and and Sonu AI turn it into a disco song.

I'm not 100% sold on AI changing the way we work, but it is changing the way I waste time.

Let’s set the record straight.

The notion that deliveristas are making $20/hr is not accurate.

They are only getting paid from the moment they pick up your food to the moment they drop it off. It’s why tips are so crucial.

I made this distinction clear on FOX 5 NY:

One city council member believes that rodent birth control is the way to avenge the avian icon.

Thank you Shaun Abreu for recognizing the need to do something about this issue!

Is it time to finally end the war on rats? The spirit of Flaco is telling us we must.

New proposed legislation would have New York City test a less toxic method of rat control, which would let them live out their natural lives: contraceptives.

FOR THE BIRDS: NYC Councilman pushing ‘rat contraceptive’ pellets over poison after Flaco’s death 🐀 ☠️ 🦉

“We cannot kill our way out of this,” Shaun Abreu sez.

Flaco deserved a city that doesn’t poison its own wildlife.

Today, I was honored to stand with Lights Out Coalition as I introduced legislation that would pilot a humane alternative to rodenticides: rat contraceptives.

It’s more effective and far safer for birds of prey.

Ooooh, I remember the reaction in 2007 when we proposed piloting birth control for the pigeons who were immediately christening the newly refurbished SI Ferry St. George terminal (and some of the riders.)

Good on you, Shaun Abreu, trying a new approach.

NEW: City Council on Thursday introduced a bill to protect the city’s wildlife — inspired by the death of Flaco the owl and other birds of prey sickened by eating poisoned rats or hurt by flying into the city buildings.

'We can feel good by killing 100 rats—well, actually by the way, we shouldn't be feeling good about that—but it's not going to address the explosive rat population.'

Tired: Killing rats.
Wired: NOT killing rats.

Flaco the owl died with rat poison in his system. Is birth control better than rodenticide?

Today I feel honored to join flacos law at the city hall Shaun Abreu .
We are making flacos a symbol that will protect more birds.

What a pleasure to join Rosanna Scotto & Curt Menefee on Good Day New York!

We discussed the bills I introduced today to restore tip options for deliveristas *during checkout* on delivery apps. What good is a tip menu that appears after you’ve left the app?

🦉Exciting rally today with Shaun Abreu for #FlacosLaw , Intro 736 - the first ever bill to establish a rat contraception program. We must evolve beyond ineffective rat poison which kills wildlife. Let’s pass 736 in New York City Council!

We love the Flaco art Calichoart made today.

The goal of Flaco’s Law is to reduce bird deaths by introducing non-rodenticide ways to mitigate rats and requiring more buildings turn their lights off at night so birds don’t fly into them -
