Ring paid somewhere between $8 and $10 million for a 30-second Super Bowl spot to tell 120 million viewers that their cameras now scan neighborhoods using AI. The math is wild. Ring has roughly 20 million devices in American homes. Search Party is enabled by default. The opt-out
if you’re not ripping your ‘Ring’ camera off your house right now and dropping the whole thing into a pot of boiling water what are you doing?

Seal and Seabird tours for this winter are available now! The boat is beautiful, the food is delicious, the narration is exceptional! If I wasn’t leading these trips, I would be very happy to get one as a gift during the holidays. Links/dates in Landlubber

I hate this. I hate this. IhatethisIhatethisIhatethisIhatethis. These predatory AI corporations are trying to convince us that (A) chatbots are people, and (B) a "person" is nothing more than a certain appearance with certain speech tendencies. They are attacking the very

cuomo being endorsed by trump proves what leftists have been saying for ages....that establishment democrats still protect most of the same corporate interests as conservatives, they just stick a pride flag on it.

Now is a good time to remember that Dick Cheney's post 9/11 wars killed (conservatively) 4.5 million people and displaced over 38 million more, according to a study by Brown University.

90,000 volunteers are helping to elect Zohran Mamdani to make NYC affordable. 62 billionaires spent $18.7 million to elect Andrew Cuomo to keep NYC a corrupt pay-to-play for them. This isn’t Right vs Left. It’s the very top vs the rest of us.
Just 62 billionaire families have spent $18.7 million to influence the New York City mayoral race. We really, really need to stop letting billionaires buy our elections and our politics.

Here’s an article by Ian Frazier from 2013 about how under Michael Bloomberg’s interminable reign as mayor, homelessness skyrocketed to levels that hadn’t been seen since the depression https://t.co/eAOaav6I2K

New York has more homeless than it has in decades. What should the mayor do to solve the problem?
Four months ago I endorsed @AndrewCuomo because I thought his management experience and government know-how made him the best choice for New Yorkers. I still do. And today, with early voting underway, I wanted to reiterate my support for Andrew Cuomo. Being Mayor of New York City

The New York Post reports that Mayor Adams plans to pack the Rent Guidelines Board with anti-tenant appointees on his way out the door to block Mamdani's rent freeze policy. One of his last moves as mayor will be to raise our rents.

Adams will pack the Big Apple's rent board on the way out the door — and is mulling appointing a real estate, reality TV star pal to a seat.

A political candidate actually calling out capitalism for its failings? And in The Bronx! Love to see it:
After 4 years of Ritchie Torres, 30% of NY-15 lives below the poverty line. Andre Easton—teacher, socialist, father—is running for Congress to fight for lower rent, higher wages, fully funded schools, & truly safe streets. Stop funding war and genocide. Start funding the people.

Every time I hear a story like this I think about the Cherokee elders in Georgia, circa 1902, who were still talking about the vagrant scissor-tailed flycatcher they saw forty years earlier.
Can’t visit Deering Oaks Park in Portland, ME without paying respect at the Great Black Hawk statue. This bird appeared in the park in the winter of ‘18-19, and as far as I know this is the only statue commemorating a vagrant bird in the world.

Elon Musk hitting $500 billion while 60% of Americans can’t afford basic necessities is what it looks like when billionaires buy elections to get laws written to benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else. Elon Musk is a result of decades of policy failures.

“Whale: Don’t Listen to Them, Eric” is something I say pretty much nonstop now
What are some of your everyday Eric Adams quotes? “Make haters your waiters” is a stone-cold classic, as is “in NYC you can see everything from 9/11 to someone opening up a business,” but I personally get a lot of use out of “first stop is always Istanbul.”
