Stop voting for these assholes. Get registered as a democrat, actually vote in the primary, and let's get some actual progressives. https://hellgatenyc.com/hochul-and-adams-agree-mask-ban-on-the-subway

(Some background for non-NYers: the general election is between parties, and at least at the city level the democrat generally wins against some wackjob republican by a landslide. So really, if you want a say in the election, you need to vote in the democratic primary. That's only allowed if you're a registered Dem. Doesn't matter how far left you are, how much you identify as independent, how angry you are w/ the Democratic Party, etc; you either register as a Dem or you don't have a voice.)

UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks.

This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

Source: https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/icymi-audio-rush-transcript-governor-hochul-guest-cnn-laura-coates

Laura Coates, CNN: There is also a call some have talked about, some Jewish leaders actually in New York are calling tonight for a mask ban. Saying that covering faces allows protesters to have some level of anonymity to be more aggressive, to me more entitled to say what they want because they don’t fear repercussion in the same way. Would you support that endeavor? Governor Hochul: There was a ban on masks before the pandemic that you couldn't have face coverings that didn't serve a purpose. For example, a surgical mask for someone who is elderly or ill — the pandemic removed that from our State Law. It was repealed at the time, but I absolutely will go back and take a look at this and see whether it can be restored because it is frightening to people. You're sitting on a subway train and someone puts on a mask like this and comes in — you don't know if they're going to be committing a crime, they're going to have a gun, or whether they're just going to be threatening or intimidating you because you are Jewish, which is exactly what happened the other day. Absolutely unacceptable in the State of New York.

    Happy ! Her name's Ivy.

    This one is named Matcha. She's a lot more outgoing/adventuresome (but less cuddly) than Ivy. My kids say that she's more caffeinated.

    And here's Twig. He's got a good 50 grams on the other two, and has already figured out how his back legs work. He also informs me that his little toe beans are delicious.

    Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with providing awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket price.

    The DoJ will announce an antitrust lawsuit against the company this week.

    This is a big deal.

    "lf a person refused to (unmask), that right there should cause you some sense of alarm."

    NYC Mayor Eric Adams continues to encourage businesses to request customers to unmask. This is ableist, puts people's health at risk, and is NOT required by law.

    @luckytran At this point I'm masking as a 'fuck you' to Eric Adams.

    Aurora borealis starting to faintly show in New York as clouds part. Not yet easily visible by the naked eye.

    @luckytran So far nothing but Aurora Cityalis in my part of Queens. Stupid overly bright car-centric streetlights!

    Heads-up to social.ridetrans.it users: Mastodon seems to be misbehaving. I just restarted sidekiq, and it's processing the backlog now. But I don't think I necessarily fixed the issue, so I'll be keeping an eye on it.

    There's definitely some kind of slow leak of file descriptors in #mastodon 4.2.8.
