Both sides of the e-bike debate say they want safety. But only one side wants to address the root cause of the issue: regulating the exploitative Silicon Valley delivery app companies that force workers to bike too fast or risk losing their livelihood.

Tweeting is free. Unless you’re paying an AI to do it, in which case apparently it costs $9-10k per month. This is political spending, like any other. It’s meant to influence NYC’s election — effectively an un-registered super PAC. Seems like the CFB or BOE should look into it!

Eric Adams is trying to make riding a bike at 16 mph a criminal offense. Mayor Eric Adams is stalling and even reversing street safety projects. He doesn’t care that drivers are killing people.

Lmao the AI reply guy / unregistered super PAC twitter bot is so dumb that it’s just making things up, claiming that Zohran would “defund traffic enforcement” and “gut Vision Zero.” This is what some guy is spending thousands of dollars a month on? 🤡

Two people were killed at Canal and Bowery in a crash on Saturday. Then, “Almost 24 hours later, a second violent crash occurred at the same Manhattan intersection. Police said a driver came careening into a food truck and TD Bank around 3 a.m. Sunday morning.”

Went on the news again to talk about the mayor’s bike crackdown:

tbt to when we found the Illapa campaign office, which would later become the NYC-DSA office

Growing up in NYC we learned a lot about the Holocaust, saw the images of starving people when the camps were liberated, human skeletons. Understood “never again.” Now we’re seeing the images on our phones in real time, every day. This will be the stain on the 21st century.

lazyweb what’s the correct term for this?

The anti-Zohran bot is praising Vivek Chibber

The rollout of legal cannabis in New York has been borderline kafkaesque. Are 60 shops going to have to close because of this error? What is going on over at OCM?
