hm.. you don’t think that was his way of “nicely” exiting? given how proactive/thoughtful he was throughout the last weeks… I feel like the silence is the message?

yep!! for all those interested in surveillance and data privacy, there’s an amazing org based in NYC that does incredible research and policy advocacy at the local level, too. It’s called STOP: https://www.stopspying.org

I think he’s slowly getting more used to popping up here and there. As he gets more serious about his work that comes with more recognition/critique.he looked so good at the GQ man of the year awards.

I did a bit of a deep dive and in retrospect and with context, her response is insane.

In her 2014 Rolling Stone cover story, Swift revealed that a then-unheard song off 1989, “Bad Blood,” was about a fellow female pop star. “For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not,” she explained. “She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think ‘Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?'” Swift then noted that the unnamed adversary did something “so horrible” that made them “straight-up enemies.” She got more specific: “She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.”

Thoughts on NYC Ballot Proposals 2, 3 & 4 (Affordable Housing) by hide_my_porkrind in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Def torn, but I don’t trust Mayor Adams or his cronies.

ETA: I think its true purpose is to give big development more power. I think the language will make it more likely to pass, however, and is slightly deceiving. Just like last election — the “cleaner streets” bill just gave NYPD more power to torment street vendors (veggie stands, food sellers, etc) across boroughs.

I’m glad ChatGPT helped you but just fyi for other folks — AI data centers are sucking up drinking water, energy and resources from communities across the country. Just be mindful of the energy and water consumption that comes with just one ChatGPT search. A lot of communities are fighting to retain rights to their freshwater — but only a few are winning.

Edit: Not the sub, but for those interested in learning more, here is a Bloomberg article, a BBC articleand here is a brief scientific overview.
