“The park has turned into a nightmare for those of us with kids,” said local resident Maria Rose. “There's constant drugs, constant nudity. There's sexual acts here all the time. The trash in the mornings has become really obscene and it's really not a place for kids anymore, let alone adults.”
Since when??? I thought all the fun stuff stopped decades ago tbh

It’s about to be summer is a city where people live in overpriced closets and bars are open till 4:00 but you can’t sit in a park after 10:00? Mayor’s office is deferring to the NYPD on this matter. How the fuck can the police decide on public park curfew with no input from elected officials. Some bullshit

I don't think I've been to Washington Square Park on a Friday or Saturday night since maybe high school, but Bloomberg had a clear vendetta against that site in particular and there was a protracted effort to restrict access to the park, especially to skateboarders and people hanging around the fountain.
I had thought this effort was more or less successful in killing off the park once and for all. Guess not.
― Fauna Sukkot (Deflatormouse), Tuesday, 8 June 2021 19:22 (two years ago) link
Regardless, the idea that it's supposed to be a kid friendly neighborhood park is hilarious.

I've seen a dozen warnings that the ballot is confusing and people are going to get it wrong...but I'm looking at my absentee ballot and it seems pretty straightforward?
How is everyone else finding it?

only thing that bummed me out is last night I read that the two running for judge in queens were a "pick any two" so I didn't research them and then when I got there it was "pick one"
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 19:03 (two years ago) link
For comptroller there was some thing where you were supposed to vote for Corey Johnson second for some reason.
the only confusing part for me was remembering to only pick one for the DA race, since that one isn't ranked-choice
― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Tuesday, 22 June 2021 19:04 (two years ago) link
we didn't have that in queens, but my city council race had 1000 candidates.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 22 June 2021 19:22 (two years ago) link
Because I voted absentee, I had time to look up the judges, and I'm glad I did. I specifically have a bone to pick with the Kings County Democratic Committee, as a member of it who got dragged through a 12-hour zoom meeting right before Christmas where the party leaders just straight up lied to everyone and obstructed the progress that was legally supposed to happen.
I was not exactly thrilled to vote for my incumbent council person but she's better than her absolutely insane rival.

hoping against hope for some unlikely combination of mail-in ballots and ranked-choice developments to still deliver us Mayor Wiley or, as a fallback, Mayor Garcia. Yang being out of the running is certainly a relief. but Adams is essentially a Republican and really does not bode well.

I don't get this part at all -
The first round of ranked-choice voting analysis will eliminate the bottom candidate, recount votes accordingly, then continue until there is a winner with 50% of the vote. The process will kick off next Tuesday, June 29, and will include only in-person votes. Absentee ballots will be counted a week later, on July 6, and the process could recur the week of July 12 if uncounted or controversial ballots remain.
Absentee ballots will be counted a week later, on July 6, and the process could recur the week of July 12 if uncounted or controversial ballots remain.
How can they do the ranked-choice stuff before they count the absentee ballots? Won't the absentee ballots change the order of the rankings?
