Koko, what are your thoughts on climate change? Koko: Give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you Koko's translator: she says, "When the last tree has been cut down, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money" 😢

Strolling around my vibrant urban walkable city with my $500 stroller absolutely frothing with rage

Showing up to the gangbang and taking my shirt off only to reveal this and the guys all skedaddle leaving a dust cloud behind them like in looney tunes and I'm just standing there like "...what it something I said?"

I'm so over this dude. The loop is going to have a higher fatality rate than Action Park at this point.

So @CentralParkNYC has had at least three crash injury deaths this year, a record number in modern memory, and all have a commonality: poor management and poor enforcement. Before learning any facts at all about the horse-carriage fatality, the city council and the park leadership rushed to judgement -- the city council literally making a decision even before the hearing. If the city had responded rationally instead of with a gleeful "let's finally get the horse carriages," we might have prevented the following two deaths, of a pedestrian and now a cyclist.

Central Park at this point is just turning into a petri dish of antisocial behavior that spontaneously generates novel deaths on a weekly basis.

I’m sorry but can we finally admit these were all good fits

Fun fact: when you replace doctors with absolutely nothing, all cause mortality also drops.

Never thought twice about it before but looking back it’s pretty stupid to write PASSPORT on your passport in big bold letters. I already know it’s a passport.

RT @Howlingmutant0: You hear a lot of stories about how when guys were teenagers they’d be so horny theyd fuck their couch or whatever but…

This woman’s case is one of the many reasons I think psychiatry will be gone in 100 years. Her psychotic episode was due to anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. It's an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks NMDA receptors in the brain. She was put on a psych ward where they gave her high doses of antipsychotics while her condition deteriorated. Her family had to fight for the tests that revealed the illness. A psychotic episode should always be a medical emergency until proven otherwise. There should be a standard panel of tests for everything from B12 deficiency to encephalitis. A psychiatrist sent me home from an ER mid-heart attack because I presented with impending doom and stomach pain. I was diagnosed with psychosis and somatic delusions. It turned out that I had non-occlusive messenteric ischemia along with the heart attack. What makes me mad is that I may or may not have been in psychosis (I couldn’t eat, had lost 3 kilo that week and was in extreme pain) but the psychiatrist didn’t even treat the condition he thought I had- a sudden onset of psychosis as a medical emergency. It always is. The coming years, I hope families, friends and loved ones continue to push for medical workups and that people diagnosed with mental illness stop dying before their peers of treatable illnesses

Political opposition groups have weaponized the X algorithm to maliciously limit the reach of their opponents. Here’s how they manipulate the algorithm to do so: 1. Flood an account with a ton of new bot-controlled followers. In the case of @Babygravy9, they send 50k new followers to a guy who previous had about 250k. 2. Those 50k new followers represent one-sixth of the account’s followers. But when you account for dormant users that still inactively follow accounts, the 50k can very easily represent one-third to even one-half of the account’s active followers. It’s a material percentage. 3a. When you post on X, before the algorithm decides whether to boost your post and show it to a large audience (including “out-of-network” people who don’t follow your account), the algorithm first shows your post to a subset of your followers. If those “in-network” accounts engage positively (like, RT, QT, or—best of all—comment), the algorithm expands distribution, providing exponentially more impressions and giving the post the opportunity to go viral. 3b. On the other hand, if the subset of followers to whom the algorithm showed the post ignore it—or, even worse, if they engage negatively, by hitting the “show less” button or blocking the account entirely—the post’s distribution is quickly throttled. You can probably see where I’m going with this. 4. When our aforementioned bot accounts are shown the post from the target account, they mark it as content they are not interested in. Or they block the account (which is likely why REN mentions losing 100 or so followers per day after his follower count spiked). The algorithm then stops showing the post to *anyone*, since the initial sample group reacted negatively. 5. The target account’s posts gets no traction, they enter into a spiral of ever-decreasing engagement, and they eventually grow discouraged from having a fraction of the reach they used to have and just disengage entirely. It’s incredibly malicious. Diabolical, even. It neuters the reach of quality accounts, effectively censoring them, and it materially harms the ability of X to serve as the true digital town square. The only solution is for X to take a hands-on approach. If an account gains 10k+ followers in a day and there hasn’t been a viral post leading to the growth, they should have Grok review all the new followers and purge any that look like bots. Otherwise, this tactic is only going to become more common.

When I was young, I used to think that no matter what happened to me, I could go to a hospital and everything would be okay. Understanding what a hospital really is, as you get older, is like going back to the state fair at 30. As a kid, the excitement is in conquering the fear of the ride. But “the ride” is an abstract. You’re bracing for an experience that you ultimately trust. As you get older, the ride becomes very concrete. The beams jostle. Paint bubbles over the rust. The carnie running the Zipper took an extra Klonopin and just wants to get home to his polycule. And you begin to understand how little there is between you and the ground. If you’re not careful as you age, your life is increasingly in the hands of people of impossible shapes who don’t look like you, don’t think like you, who will treat your fate with less interest than the vampire rapemance audiobook they put on during lunch. You have to laugh so you don’t cry. You have to build a body that keeps you far away from such places. When you’re forced in, speak clearly, or have someone speak for you, and do not look away while they work.

No it’s not you retard, you don’t have to hate every foreigner to be opposed to unlimited immigration

The victims tended to be older women, and the pro e-bike crowd (both delivery workers and paid "advocates") is young men. There's nothing surprising or intrinsically wrong about this disparity (I don't expect 75yo women to be delivering Shake Shack), but it *is* striking that Abreu did not appear to notice or attempt to correct for this disparity by asking the older women some followup questions.

Ironically of course dimes square poetry readings and tranny wine bar small plates have done more to advance the cause of “white nationalism” than all siegeposting of the last two decades.

Gentrification is an economic and social miracle and the only reason people here fawn about how magical and THE Place To Be NYC is, is because gentrifiers saved it.
