I know so many of you live in Brooklyn or nearby. Please sign this @OpenNYForAll petition to support the Arrow Linen project at 441 and 467 Prospect Ave. It's just a short walk to the subway with tons of protected bike infrastructure nearby. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

“But she IS dead…(laughter)…she was a regular person. Just write ‘em a check. $11,000. She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.” You can’t reform this.

It appears Instagram and FB owner Meta holds the trademark for "X" as it relates to "online social networking services... social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming and application development..." tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=8…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The trademark is of a stylized letter "X", which in this case, is Mixer's logo; not the actual alphabet letter "X". There are hundreds of trademarks for stylized letters of "X". Some of which include the "X" in the Xbox logo and the "X" in the Microsoft Excel logo. tmsearch.uspto.gov squadhelp.com/trademarks/X#t…

The best “must reads” are when law-and-order pols like ⁦@VickieforNYC⁩ are caught not caring about law and order when it pertains to themselves! Great job ⁦@Jesse_Coburn⁩ (again). nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/07/…

This conservative Republican, who describes himself as “anti-woke as you can get,” warns Ohio lawmakers that a bill to ban gender-affirming care for teenagers is appalling. He said he learned the complexities of the issue from raising a transgender son. (Reposted due to typo)

I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey. My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.
Caroline was told that a puberty blocker would relieve her child's psychological distress. That's not what happened. More reporting from inside Washington University's Transgender Center by @EmilyYoffe : thefp.com/p/i-felt-bullied-m…

BIDEN: "During the Obama-Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks, like Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, including the Dodd-Frank law to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements. I'm going to ask Congress and the banking regulators to strengthen the rules for banks to make it less likely this kind of bank failure would happen again, and to protect American jobs and small businesses."

Bicycle food-delivery in New York City is broken — not just because it’s essentially unregulated, but also because it's underpriced relative to the distance many workers have to travel. @streetsblognyc explores. nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/03/…

Former Sen. Jim Inhofe R-OK tells the Tulsa World that one reason he resigned from the Senate - was health troubles caused by the Coronavirus. "Five or six others" in Congress have the same problem, Inhofe says. tulsaworld.com/news/state-an…

I don’t know how I can continue to be a police officer in America. I do know I don’t want to right now. Law enforcement in America is the scattered good will of individual officers in a change-resistant structure with fundamental principles & philosophies that are utterly rotten

Fiona Apple has a story for you. And it’s incredible. Asked me to share. She's become an avid, trained Court Watcher. Her observations helped people jailed pretrial file a civil rights lawsuit. Then came the retaliation. Shut off her access to court. A video story in 8 parts:

I don’t usually support restrictions on what welfare recipients can buy with their money, but I do think a fancy volleyball center is going too far
Brett Favre: Will the media find out that we're using welfare funds intended to help the poorest residents of America's poorest state to build a volleyball center? Nancy New: Nah. Oh yeah, the governor is fully on board! @ayewolfe five years later: mississippitoday.org/2022/09…
