Looks wonderful to me!

What I said can be applied to any type of visa. The policy is not going to fix anything, it’s only going to invade peoples privacy and turn away legitimate visa applicants.

This is stupid. This will not stop spies and terrorists, they will just create fake accounts. This will only hurt legitimate immigrants.

There are more than five candidates so pick five good apples and exclude Cuomo entirely. To maximize the chance of your vote counting you should fill in all five because depending on how many rounds there are your vote may not count if you didn’t rank all five. Please read the comments other people have been posting in reply to mine.

Remember to fully fill out your ballot with five names too! The only reason Adams won last time was because some people didn’t fully fill out their ballots.

Data center owners should work as aggressively as possible to build solar and wind capabilities. It would be best for all parties involved. They’d get cheaper energy and it would benefit everyone by not polluting as much.

Even if they cannot power all of their energy needs with renewables they could build some every year.

These companies are so rich they can easily afford it.

That’s a good point about alternative rock. I changed the title from usually to sometimes, maybe usually was too much.

I’ve never thought about the word alternative being synonymous with progressive, I tend of think of as meaning against the grain or against the mainstream but in practice sometimes it just means bullshit like in the title. For example RT calls themselves “alternative media” but they’re really just propaganda slop.

Have you voted yet in the primary (if eligible)?

For anyone reading this who’s a registered Democrat and lives in NYC it’s super import you vote in the primary by June 24. Urge as many like-minded friends and family to vote and offer them a ride or go on the bus with them if they need help with transportation. Even search things like NYC or New York City on social media and if you think they are like-minded urge them to vote.

Rank these names from #1 (best) to #5 (tolerable): Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, Michael Blake, Zellnor Myrie

I’d recommend Zohran #1 and Brad #2. Zohran has a stellar ability to motivate volunteers. You really need those door knockers, they will help tip the scale in the general election. The general election is going to be difficult because Adams is running as an independent. If Cuomo wins, he and Adams will split the vote and hand the election to the Republican Curtis Sliwa. Zohran is fresh and gives voters someone to get excited about. He can crush the spoiler effect.

Sadly that’s going to change. Musk is going to push an update that I suspect will turn Grok into a far-right disinformation parrot or become closer to that. See https://lemm.ee/post/67429541 and https://lemm.ee/post/67216433

I wish people would study if they could not bother cooling the data centers or raise the thermostat. This article makes it seem unclear if it’s beneficial to do that:

I wasn’t aware of this before. No wonder Musk felt comfortable stepping down as CEO, he just appointed a like-minded person.

That’s excellent! Hopefully there will be more and more people who don’t know anyone who uses Twitter.

100%! I’m sure you’re not using it but if you have friends/family still on there urge them to quit using Twitter.

Keep the pressure up, keep the numbers going down. Fight hard!

I endorse Clyburn’s primary challenger.

I’m not accepting it, I’m doing what I can to change it, but it’s true that when voters feel apathy it benefits Republicans more. That’s why it’s important Democrats change to energize voters and reach out to more non-voters.

How Zohran Wins: show up to the primary if you’re a registered Democrat in NYC or vote early (early voting has already started). It’s very important you reach out to as many like-minded friends and family as you can and tell them to vote in the primary. When they fill out their ballot they should if at all possible put five names on the ballot but they should NOT put Cuomo’s name on the ballot at all, not even last. When it’s election time I’m loud as heck about it, I ask people if they need a ride. I’ve been thanked before because people who I thought would be guaranteed voters actually needed the reminder and said they wouldn’t have voted if it wasn’t for me. Please try doing likewise. Never assume someone is going to vote. Always ask if they will.

Filling out the ballot fully and excluding Cuomo’s name on the ballot is very important because he’s a sexual harasser and because he’d likely lose the general election. It’s going to be a tough general election because of Adams running as an independent. Cuomo and Adams are similar in a way so NYC needs someone who’s different. It’s basic marketing, kind of like product differentiation.

Each rule we change fixes some of the rot. It’s like a journey. Think of it like walking from California to New York. It’s not something that happens in one day. People may tell you that you cannot do it, but you can. Those who put in the work will be rewarded. Passing an inheritance tax would be like successfully walking from California to Colorado. Not there yet but you made progress.

Except with politics it’s easier, instead of needing to do the whole walk ourselves we can each contribute a small amount of walking based on what’s within our means and that walking we contribute collectively adds up to the journey and together we can achieve the journey much easier.

The Grayzone has suspicious ties to Russia.

The Grayzone publishes questionable material, stating that a Chemical Attack did not occur in Douma, Syria OPCW investigator testifies at UN that no chemical attack took place in Douma, Syria. They have also promoted conspiracy theories, such as claiming that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA agent. There is no evidence to support this claim. Finally, according to Radio Free Asia, The Grayzone content is frequently shared by the Chinese Communist Party media outlets “CCP propaganda is also increasingly laundered through Western influencers and denialist fringe media outlets like The Grayzone,” the report said, adding that, between December 2019 and February 2021, The Grayzone was cited at least 313 times in Chinese state media.”

Finally, The Grayzone promotes conspiracy theories involving George Soros funding regime changes, and the editor Max Blumenthal claims that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred. This is false. In general, The Grayzone promotes a socialist left perspective that promotes conspiracy theories and pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.

Falsely claiming that there were no chemical attacks in Syria is a hallmark of Russian propaganda.

Even if this article is correct I would avoid giving them your clicks because of their weird ties to Russia.
