Good afternoon from Barcelona!!! The next few hours are focused on a vibrant local digital democracy powered by open source. Sessions like this make me really frustrated with NYC’s #govtech’s investments.

Although @THECITYNY’s analysis focused on outdoor fields, this story shows how difficult it can be to find a place to play in NYC. This Manhattan man has to schlep all the way to College Point late at night just to play basketball thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/…

New Yorkers Want to Play Ball. The Toughest Game is Getting a Field.

Old-timers vie with newcomers for city ballfields as demand for field reservations has boomed with the growth of organized sports.

Huge congratulations to the She Wolf workers union, which just won its first-ever contract. This means $21 hourly wages for non-tipped workers, an extra 5% raise for those with 5+ years of experience & some workers will see 20% raises. When workers organize and fight, they win.

It is soooo weird to be on transatlantic flight and have Internet access throughout the whole flight and to be logged in to tailscale with my endpoint being my home network in Brooklyn and to agenticly work from my phone while watching Star Trek…

As someone who needs to send their child to a specialized school and still has to fight for resources to support their education, @RossBarkan should talk to some parents before pontificating. And I’m not exactly sure they completely understand resource scarcity in our schools

@bri_guy_nyOct 22
I am once again begging people who don't have kids to shut the hell up about what parents might do if the school system changes. You have no idea! You can have opinions on the school system, but don't pretend you know what we'd do.

Doesn't sound civil to me.

New: Civil rights group the National Urban League is coming out in opposition to a NYC Council bill that would require companies like Amazon to directly employ “last-mile” delivery and warehouse workers – instead of relying on third-party contractors.
