A place to talk about New York on Farcaster

Wild watching people cheer on the NYPD shutting down my old neighborhood and school to capture some student protestors.

Building autonomous builder economies. Nouns launch soon.

What do you think would be a better course of action given the current situation?

/new-york by day 🗽 /zinger by night 😈 Fan of eating tacos and bringing people together, often at the same time 🌮

Don’t lock down the entire campus, don’t lock out and threaten to arrest journalists, don’t send 100s of cops.

My galaxy brain idea would’ve been to just offer Pass Fail finals to anyone who doesn’t protest. Many wouldn’t protest and disruption minimized.

Protest is not even that disruptive, Columbia campus is huge and people hang out on the lawn at end of semester anyway.

Which also begs asking, what damage do you think they did to the community, the students, the ethos of protest in college?
