It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC.
I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing.

We need these in Charlottesville ASAP. Public restrooms are an essential part of broadly accessible, pleasant, and vibrant public spaces.
17 new public bathrooms. Across all five boroughs.
Because you can’t wait — and you shouldn’t have to.

My firstborn works night shifts only (by choice) at the hospital and tries to maintain this schedule on days off.
This means there's stuff happening around the house while the rest of us sleep.
This morning we woke up to the scent of freshly-baked pumpkin bread. 😋
And the kitchen was clean. 😍

Less humid air is FINALLY pushing south into central Virginia. Sadly, it won't stick around past the midweek. Bottom line for those who like not sweating five seconds after stepping outside: enjoy this afternoon & tomorrow.

Also if there's a PEDESTRIAN in the crosswalk, stop fucking rolling at them. Why is this so hard for so many drivers?
Hey drivers: I need you to understand that when you get to an intersection and there's a cyclist crossing in front of you, even if YOU know you see them, there's a good chance THEY don't know you do. Come to a fucking stop till they cross. Stop fucking rolling at them. Fucksake.

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website.
But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.
