This could have been a lot worse.

The whole AI revolution scares me, society could go through a really disruptive period where masses of jobs go and there is much unrest. I perhaps will not live long enough to for it to effect me badly but anyone under 55 is likely to
My thinking for younger people is look at jobs that are the most difficult to automate.
That was your takeaway from the screenshot?!

Despite the new mayor of NYC seeming to have missed this incident, this individual is most likely going to be in serious trouble.

He physically ‘missed’ the event but has commented.
Homemade bomb hurled during protest outside New York mayor Mamdani's house, police say
A jar filled with nuts, bolts and screws that was wrapped in black tape with a fuse, then ignited by a counter-protester "could have caused serious injury or death".

What do you mean missed it? Don't get much politics coming up on my twitter feed these days as its so easy to train the algorithm since they fucked it a few months back but the first I knew about it was his tweet saying it was reprehensible.

Didn't he make out it was a white supremacist?

Nope, think you're getting the bomber mixed up with Jake Lang.

I'm not getting anybody mixed up
It's the old "IT WOZ THE FAR RIGHT" distraction it seems. Nothing shows unity more than somebody being charged with trying to set off a bomb but it's all about the white supremacist.
He literally says the counter protesters were even more disturbing? Not sure why you’d be so upset by this.
Which of my other posts have been bothering you Nick?
It seems to me that given the guys throwing bombs have been hit with terror charges and have been called “even more disturbing” by the mayor than the people protesting against his religion outside his house, that the NYC authorities seem to have their priorities in order….but it seems you disagree?

As far as I can tell from that tweet by the mayor, he' saying there was a protest by white supremacists outside his residence because of the mayors ethnicity and religion, which is abhorrent. He then says other people tried to maim/kill those protestors with some form of explosive and that this was much worse than the protest. Which it is.
So he's saying the persons throwing the bomb are worse than the racists there to protest against him because of his skin colour and religion. Racists bad, terrorists worse. Or are we saying we shouldn't mention that the people were there because they were on a racist protest? I assume next time the police are heavy handed against protestors I assume you'll be happy for the media to ignore if they're part of Just Stop Oil or Greenpeace?
Perhaps the story "Man who raped and killed numerous women kills again" would get a different reaction from you to "Man who raped and killed numerous women kills Ian Huntley". It's the same story but the information missed out is quite important I think you'll agree.

He doesn't say it was a counter protestor, he doesn't say terrorist either.
Again, people want to try hard to miss the point. It's weird but no surprise.
