A smart city has nothing to do with artificial intelligence or sensors. A city is smart when children can walk and cycle freely and safely. Technology is only a bonus.

This scavenger hunt is so charming and smart and actively engaging. It gets New Yorkers out and about, exploring the city, talking to one another, taking advantage of public transportation and working toward a common cause. The levels! It’s just so great.

The generals said "sir are you sure you want to fly the diarrhea bomber over the AI city with the nonsense billboards" and I said [zesty] we've got to shit the hell out of 'em. And no one has more loose stool than me. And actually that was very smart. Making myself the diarrhea president was smart.

When I was young, if we wanted to find the secret rave, we'd have to be smart enough to solve a puzzle with a few clues placed around the city that would eventually lead us to the address. The next G7 should do that.

Strassenbahn in Barcelona mit gruenen Gleisbetten. 2km Strecke entsprechen der Begruenung von 1.5 Fussballfeldern.
Und genau die binden dann Emissionen und kuehlen die Staedte ab. Eigentlich gar nicht so kompliziert, die Nummer mit der "Smart, Green City", oder?

New York City just had the most civic, city-energizing, PUBLIC playoff run I’ve seen in a long time. It seemed like the WHOLE CITY was a watch party for weeks! Other cities, take note…smart, joyous, inspiring, and the championship parade might set a NEW bar! Enjoy it, New York! #KnicksAreChamps #NYC

Not earth-shattering, but a small, fast, smart, civic, right move. These add up, and they illustrate the right instincts and intentions for New York City.

Pamela Jo Bondi incriminatingly revealed (she's smart that way) that ICE in Minneapolis is *not* about immigration. It's about extortion to interfere with upcoming elections. And because Donald got his delicate feelings hurt that the city didn't vote for him.
Pam Bondi telling Minneapolis that ICE will be recalled *only* when that blue city turns over its voter rolls is a clear reveal that this isn't about immigration. It's about interfering with upcoming elections that may not favor Donald Trump.
It's extortion.
