He wants to mirror New Jersey’s corporate tax rate and add a 2% tax for people earning over $1M, which is somewhat radical and not likely to pass in Albany. my wife and friends who’ve worked in city government with Brad Lander, the comptroller, are cautiously optimistic, and he is supporting Mamdami. They don’t think a lot of his campaign promises will come to fruition, but he’s already moving the dialogue on what much of the city wants — free childcare and better use of city funds to manage people facing homelessness and addiction. Instead of paying 10% of the city budget to cops (including overtime), we could have groups actually trained in helping people facing mental crisis

Last night I flicked a lantern fly nymph off my grape plant and it landed right into this spiders web. /gardening rule: Never use insecticides or pesticides. Just create a more complex food chain. Problems with aphids? Introduce some lady bugs.

We typically get 3.5 in of rain in May. This year we got 6. Though the record for the wettest May remains 1989, with 10.24 inches of rain. That was exactly 36 years ago, or three years of the snake ago

Are you even a New Yorker if you haven’t yet internalized the 5 letter acronym for how you are ranking the mayoral candidates in the primary this week? personally, still deciding between: BZZAM and ZZBAM 💥

I had never heard the term “pyrocumulus,” a cloud formed by the smoke of forests burning, until this week NYC is at the edge of a pretty large area of smoke rn 👀

Tim Berners-Lee has reflected extensively on where the web went wrong since he invented it. Cool to see him at an Ethereum event talking about ENS and how he would have made the management of the Domain Name System more decentralized. https://x.com/mely_jpg/status/1927689139027071335
