I’m getting sick and tired of Mamdani constantly winning
This guy’s mayor of a single city and he’s making every politician worldwide look like shit with minimal effort.
I don’t know what pisses me off more. The fact that Mamdani does so much cool shit, or the fact that he’s such a cootie patootie while he does it.
There’s not already a law? They don’t accept paintings or cartoons or artist’s renderings in listings, do they?
NO AI images, “disclosure” is actually an absurd measure.
Should be the same for food and goods and everything else. It should be considered false advertising not to.
I’d go one step further and require the same for photos that have been edited in any way, shape, or form.
I also would even simply prohibit pictures that have been modified.
If it ain’t the real thing, it shouldn’t be used to sell or rent me the thing
Man what the fuck are our local politicians doing. Every time I hear his name he’s doing something that’s actually is helping and getting shit done.
99% of politicians don’t work for the people. A capitalist system will always require anyone with power to chase the money. He’s part of the remaining 1%
This is not helping. It’s actually allowing AI to be used, unfortunately. “we promise to disclose it” good luck
Here we are giving a politician standing ovations for doing his job and working in the interests of the people who voted for him. What a world we live in where politicians stand out for doing what should be considered a standard, honest day’s work.
He’s not even shooting for the stars, and he doesn’t and shouldn’t need to, meeting very base level societal needs is just hitting it out if the park these days.
I don’t even live in New York City and I’d fall on a grenade for this guy. Just one W after another.
Democrats hate this one trick.
Spoiler: It’s called serving the people.
It’s called doing anything. Like, these things he’s doing are great, but it really shouldn’t be headlines. These things should just be normal politician things. They’re great because every other fucking politician doesn’t give half a shit about their people, but they shouldn’t be. They should be boring things, that are done, and you don’t even know it has happened.
Breaking news, politician stands up for the people he represents!
You can’t give the blanket “Democrats” credit for this. The degree to which the Democratic establishment fought to keep guys like him out if power can’t be understated. However the progressive parts of the democratic party are growing in strength and number by the day. I hope some day the party stands up for half of what he does. This is the only guy who makes me hopeful for the future
“X hates this one trick” is generally a statement where X is seen as the self-serving side and they hate the trick because it makes them redundant.
That comment doesn’t read as giving Democrats credit, though.
It’s obviously mirroring the “doctors hate this one simple trick” ad line, but did you think the original was supporting doctors?
The line is saying that Democrats/“doctors” know about the little trick and were keeping it from you. That’s not a flattering representation.
Gavin Newsom seems alright too, though I haven’t heard as much about him
I would do some personal digging on Gavin Newsom. He seems to be very much a classic politician, i.e. he’ll say whatever he thinks his base wants to hear. But he is notably very flaky on trans allyship in legislature.
Nah, look at all the privacy invading bullshit coming out of California.
They’ll immediately break down when he ends up legislating trans athletes to participate in sporting events, and the first highly successful trans Olympic champion will credit him for siding with their community after receiving the gold medal for 500 yard dash.
Go Zohran, we have faith in you.
Should be banned outright as false advertising
They would argue is a 1st amendment violation
Pretty sure false advertising isn’t protected speech, and if it is, what the fucking hell, America?
AI has no personhood.
Neither does paper.
Would it stand up in court, though?
6/3 Supreme Court ruling that AI pictures are free speech.
Advertising is still advertising and they’re misrepresenting the product
“Would you like to see your future living room with beige painted walls? Before I hit send on this prompt I just gotta ask. Do you want to see what it would look like with beige painted walls and Steve Buscemi taking a dump on a glass coffee table? I know a guy who sells glass coffee tables about three blocks from there. Free delivery on orders over forty dollars. Mention my name and he’ll throw in two years worth of glass cleaning supplies.”
A court already defined AI generated CSAM as free speech so I wouldn’t be surprised
The fact that people are so astonished that a politician is actually serving the people that elected him is a pretty damning criticism of your political establishment.
People should also be less surprised that the handsome, well spoken, popular, Mamdani was able to flatter an egocentric, maniac, surrounded by sycophants, like Trump into being his biggest supporter. Forget playing him like fiddle, Trump is the dollar store recorder they forced on us elementary school.
I don’t think it was even intended, he was just applying standard diplomacy. Mamdani clearly has natural charisma. Trump’s even more of a sucker for that than most.
Fully agree. Plenty of examples of him masterfully diffusing confrontation on live TV. Like he honestly blows me away with how well he answers things.
I like Mamdani, he’s great. But he is doing exactly what all politicians should be doing all the time. The fact that this amazing man is seen as a shining star when he’s just actually doing his job as a public servant is terrifying to me as someone with a young child.
Side note, if you Americans ever get sick of Mamdani, Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez… Please send them to Australia, we need people like them.
Man Fulfilling Job Description At Work. More at 11.
When Mamdani sat at his desk for the first time, he moved all the neglected paperwork from previous administrations, and discovered a big red button that said “Something Good.” So he pressed it, and Something Good happened.
He kept pressing it, and good stuff kept happening. It turned out, that button was ALWAYS there, and previous mayors could have pressed it at any time, but they never bothered.
Then it turns out that a Something Good button is on the desk of EVERY politician, and they just don’t press it. Why? Because really wealthy people and corporations pay them a lot of money to NOT press that button.
It’s time to make ALL politicians start pressing the Something Good button on their desks.
It can’t be doom and gloom all the time. He’s setting the standard and people are celebrating it.
I just hope the left doesn’t turn on him the second he compromises even a little, like they usually do.
Already happened in various parts of the beginning of his admin. One example being him keeping the same police commissioner.
The thing is, he keeps delivering on so many things that narratives stay in his favor.
And he’s so clever about it. He talked about what he’s doing and that some people argued he’s only doing small stuff (like fixing potholes) and nothing with big impact.
And he said that all those small things can be done quickly, so people see results quickly and that builds a positive relationship with the public and that builds the political capital do do bigger things and start projects that take longer so people will have to wait and trust longer before results happen.
He is absolutely aware of the importance of the narrative and how to build it.
Why would anyone ever bother to compromise with fascists? It’s always a mistake, they will never act in kind.

How DARE this Socialist try to help ME! I can’t WAIT to VOTE HIM OUT in Favor of a Republican!
-LITERALLY Republican Voters!
Republican voters either own the homes or are sympathetic to the noble landlords offering the lowly peons a place to live for 60% of their income.
Well, based on who they elected president they actively hate honesty, or maybe they like people who are honest about their dishonesty.
