I'm a #brooklyn native, who works full time in the media space as an #Enterprisearchitect , which means I like exploring how things work together, and the people who use the tools we #sysadmin work so hard on.
It will never not be shocking to me how many people there are in this world who think there is any possible justification or defense for killing someone because they were yelling at you that they were hungry and thirsty.
If #DanielPenny thought this was OK to do on a train in #NYC, what did he think it was OK to do while carrying a gun overseas for the U.S. Marines? #JordanNeely say his name. https://wapo.st/3B2nGf8
We have to ask ourselves, if the situation had been reversed, and the victim had the perpetrator in a headlock, would the other people have intervened? I think we know the answer to that.
“Abigail Addison from Canarsie, Brooklyn:
"I could see he was really holding really tight, and who was there to help him? No one helped. People need to stop being scared and stand up.”
We hope your weekend is splendid. Got any plans? Just lazing around? Maybe you'll be switching over to your gaming workspace and not leave it 'til monday morning. 😜 Either way, stay awesome.
NYC Schools Handcuff and Haul Away Kids in Emotional Crisis
Despite a pledge to stop relying on police to deal with students who have mental health episodes, New York City schools have continued to call 911 on kids in distress thousands of times a year, an investigation by @THECITY and ProPublica found.
So, this guy solicited nude videos from an undercover police officer he believed to be a minor in 2018. It took nearly five years to convict him and (apologies but I’m going to use all caps here) HE REMAINED AN ACTIVE DUTY NYPD OFFICER UP TO HIS CONVICTION THIS WEEK. In the press release, the NYPD goes on and on about how he betrayed his oath but they don’t seem bothered with letting him keep his badge for years after he did.
These parents in the Toronto suburbs are calling the #Pride flag Satanic as they mob reporters. What does that have to do with a man defecating on an #LGBTQ flag in an #NYC tapas bar? Everything!
New York City. Suburban New Jersey. Denver. England. California. What's going on? 👇👇
Happy birthday to the #mta (learned from a Google street Monolith that today is the anniversary of the unification of transit agencies that eventually became the MTA)
How long could blue states last without the divine stewardship of red states? A whole hell of a lot longer than Kevin Sorbo's "career."
Come to think of it, a blue nation with sensible gun control, excellent public schools, bodily autonomy, Ben & Jerry's, and no Kevin Sorbo or Ted Cruz sounds.... AMAZING.
Cruise's CEO, Kyle Vogt, said today while talking about their robo-death-cars operating 24/7 on San Francisco streets:
"Operating robotaxis in SF has become a litmus test for business viability. If it can work here, there's little doubt it can work just about everywhere,"
1/ Today the #2024Election kicks off in earnest with #JoeBiden’s re-election bid announcement
There is 560 days to the #PresidentialElection. Much will happen, conditions will change but it as #Biden suggests a continuation of the battle for the soul of America
I’ll use this thread to comment periodically on the election over the next 80 weeks. It’s a long road to #ElectionDay2024, but the stakes couldn’t be higher
Meanwhile the candidate accused of rape in a current civil suit trial plays golf in #Ireland.
While Mr #Trump claims he will return to #NYC to defend himself, he has opted NOT to attend the #JeanCarroll trial. While the geography was different, the usual MO was on full display, made for #NewsMedia assertions without reference to fact or logic
