- Reposted by Nelson PecoraThe thing about Andrew Cuomo is, even if he weren’t corrupt as fuck, and even if he weren’t a creep, and even if he didn’t killed one of every four grandmothers in New York during Covid… he hates New York City and did everything he could to destroy it as Governor.
- Reposted by Nelson PecoraOK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

- Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired! www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

- Reposted by Nelson PecoraIt's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

- Reposted by Nelson PecoraThe US will never have walkable cities and good public transportation because racists have convinced themselves that allowing Black people to take a train from a Black place to a white place and then bike around, would be the end times🤷🏿♂️ Which is why they lie to themselves about NYC crime being high

- Reposted by Nelson PecoraPlease support worker-owned media. Doesn't have to be us, just...someone. Anyone. We started aftermath because we felt it was the only way to make this work going forward, as did everyone else at all these sites, and the more people paying for our/their work, the bigger and better we'll get.
- i wanted to collect links people are posting to good polygon-adjacent sites + ways to follow/support folks who've been laid off from there - almost certainly extremely incomplete but maybe it'll be helpful? haunts.neocities.org/polygon
- Reposted by Nelson PecoraWhat happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.
- Reposted by Nelson PecoraThe slow death of game journalism was not inevitable - it was death by 1000 cuts from people with more money than sense and in my mind began with "pivot to video," a lie perpetrated by Facebook which moved advertising dollars to video and away from web ads with falsified beefed numbers.

- Reposted by Nelson PecoraAssuming you believe in the rule of law, the courts, and checks and balances, it is also not ‘deportation’ to remove non-citizens without the legally required processes that defines that term in the law. Again journalists *should* be using more accurate, and yes alarming, terms
- Reposted by Nelson PecoraEveryone has already made this point but reiterating that US citizens cannot be ‘deported’ and using that language does the mainstreaming and propaganda work of the fascists who want to make it sound normal to kidnap, disappear, and traffic people based on their ethnicity or politics
- Reposted by Nelson PecoraToxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

- Reposted by Nelson PecoraThere's something about seeing it visually over time that chills the blood. It's hard to process that when we made the jump from 2022 to 2023, it still wasn't enough to convince people this was serious. Before Trump was re-inaugurated gender-affirming care was banned in more than 50% of the country.
