Good Riddance, Andrew Cuomo

**Blunt Analysis at Cuomo’s Election Night Party**

*By Christian Britschgi | May 11, 2025 | Reason*

At former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s election night party, independent journalist Michael Tracey captured a candid moment that reflected the frustrations of some of Cuomo’s supporters. In a video recorded at the event, one supporter bluntly told Curtis Sliwa, “Hey Curtis, you’re a fucking scumbag like I said all along. You split the fucking vote.”

This unnamed “Cuomosexual” was not alone in expressing such sentiments. Former Republican Congressman and pardoned fraudster George Santos voiced similar criticisms, highlighting the divisive nature of the election.

Throughout both the primary and general elections, Cuomo appeared unable to move beyond a simple strategy: pointing at his opponents and questioning his supporters’ willingness to vote for them. His campaign seemed to hinge on the idea that “all he had to do to win was point at the other candidates and say, ‘You’re really going to vote for them?’”

### Reactions from the Community

Comments posted on Free Republic reflect a spectrum of opinions regarding Cuomo’s political future:

– **TBP**: “BUH BYE. But do you really think he will just go away?”
– **rottndog**: “He’s not done. Even with his horrible political record, RATS let him run for Mayor. They did nothing to stop him, even after he got beat in the RAT primary. There are other offices in NY that an arrogant, murdering asshole can run for.”
– **mass55th**: “Good riddance to Cuomo the Moloch worshiper. Anyone with family in a NY nursing home in 2020, he was the angel of death, a monster at the door.”
– **captmar-vell**: “We need one last act to get rid of the Cuomos for good. That bridge named after Mario Cuomo, by Andrew Cuomo, needs to get back its original name. Naming a bridge or anything after a non-deserving liberal is Un-American. Andrew was one of the worst governors in American history, and there should be no long-lasting legacy acts by him.”
– **adorno**: “The Tappan Zee Bridge. I went to high school in the shadow of the Tappan Zee.”
– **TBP**: “Decent people cannot fathom the amoral cruelty of the Democrat cult.”

### Closing Thoughts

The political landscape in New York remains turbulent, with Cuomo’s legacy and influence continuing to provoke strong feelings on all sides.

Vibe-coding is now an official word in the dictionary

AI is transforming everything — including the English lexicon.

Andrej Karpathy, the OpenAI cofounder and former AI director at Tesla, coined the term “vibe-coding” in a post on X in February. Just nine months later, it has become an official word in the dictionary.

“There’s a new kind of coding I call ‘vibe coding’ where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists,” Karpathy wrote. “It’s possible because the LLMs (e.g., Cursor Composer with Sonnet) are getting too good,” he added.

Since then, vibe-coding has evolved beyond tech jargon to become a bona fide word and a legitimate skill commanding sizable salaries. Collins Dictionary, a renowned dictionary published by HarperCollins with more than 200 years of history, named vibe-coding its 2025 Word of the Year this week.

Collins categorizes vibe-coding as a noun and slang term, defining it as “the use of artificial intelligence prompted by natural language to assist with the writing of computer code.”

Over the past year, vibe-coding has become the standard approach for both experienced and novice coders. Whether building new apps or testing out concepts, developers are increasingly relying on this AI-assisted method to enhance productivity and creativity.

The rise of vibe-coding has also attracted significant investment. Companies developing vibe-coding platforms have secured substantial funding rounds from Silicon Valley’s top investors.

Lovable, founded in 2023, announced a $200 million Series A raise at a $1.8 billion valuation led by Accel in July. In September, Replit raised $250 million at a $3 billion valuation, led by Prysm Capital. That same month, Vercel announced a $300 million funding round at a $9.3 billion valuation, also led by Accel.

As AI continues to reshape the coding landscape, vibe-coding is poised to become an essential skill for the future of software development.

Bills score with Keon Coleman 35-yard TD, trail Dolphins 16-6 in fourth quarter

At long last, the Bills have gotten on the board. Quarterback Josh Allen connected with Keon Coleman on a deep pass down the left sideline, with the receiver taking it in for a 35-yard touchdown. This marked Coleman’s third touchdown of the season. He now has three receptions for 46 yards on the day.

The two-point conversion attempt was no good, keeping Miami’s two-possession lead intact with the score at 16-6. The touchdown capped off an impressive eight-play, 98-yard drive for Buffalo, producing the team’s first points of Week 10.

Earlier in the half, the Bills had an opportunity to score on their first second-half drive, reaching the red zone. However, Allen threw an interception that ended the chance to add to their score.

In injury news, Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has been downgraded to out due to a hamstring injury.

Trump Administration Orders States To Claw Back Food Stamp Payments as Agriculture Department Appeals Lawsuit

The Department of Agriculture is demanding that states immediately “undo” any work they have done to send out SNAP benefits, more commonly known as food stamps, according to a memo first reported by the New York Times.

This directive comes as Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins appeals a judge’s order requiring her to start releasing some SNAP funds to states despite the ongoing government shutdown.

A coalition of churches, community centers, and labor unions sued Secretary Rollins at the end of October after she refused to tap into an emergency fund designed to keep SNAP benefits flowing during a shutdown. A judge in Rhode Island ordered her to release these funds. However, in an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, Secretary Rollins requested that the order be put on hold. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson granted this request.

In a memo sent to states on Saturday night, the Department of Agriculture stated that any state that has already disbursed full SNAP benefits must reverse those actions. The memo reads:
“To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025.”

Instead, the USDA says states may proceed with SNAP payments at a 35 percent reduction. This was the department’s original position before the Rhode Island judge ordered full benefits to be distributed.

The Department of Agriculture did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The memo also warns states about potential consequences for noncompliance. “Failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissuances that result from the noncompliance,” the department said.

The legal battle is now headed back to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, where the Trump administration is appealing Judge John McConnell’s order to pay full SNAP benefits. However, this case could become moot if the government reopens in the coming days.

This SNAP payment dispute has put more than 40 million Americans across over 20 million households at risk of losing their food stamp benefits for the month.

Earlier this month, the Department of Agriculture told Judge McConnell in a legal filing that it was working to distribute partial benefits. However, President Trump later threatened to withhold all funds in defiance of the judge’s order.

On his Truth Social platform, the president wrote:
“SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly ‘handed’ to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!”

Within hours, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified the statement, telling reporters that the president was referring to any future shutdowns, not the current one.

Later that day, a political appointee at the Department of Agriculture confirmed in a filing to Judge McConnell that partial benefits were being sent out to states.

What your photos are secretly telling everyone (and how to fix it)

Every photo you take is secretly telling a story you might not want to share. Buried inside the image file is hidden metadata that can reveal exactly when and where you took it, what camera or phone you used, and even your camera settings. Unfortunately, this information can be misused by anyone online to find your home address or track your movements. This “secret” data is stored within the EXIF metadata.

While EXIF data can be useful for sorting and finding your photos, it can also become a privacy nightmare. Here’s what you need to know about EXIF—and, more importantly, how to fix the issue.

## Why You Should Remove Metadata From Your Photos

Any digital camera or mobile phone you use to take a photo automatically captures and embeds a bunch of details into the image file. This information, called metadata—specifically EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format)—includes camera settings like shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed, white balance, as well as image dimensions, resolution, color space, GPS location, and the date and time of capture.

While this information is useful for photographers and anyone interested in learning more about a photo, posting images online with embedded metadata can pose privacy and security risks. For example, the GPS coordinates in a picture of your backyard could be exploited by someone to identify your home address and potentially doxx you.

By stripping metadata from your photos, you remove all EXIF information and can share pictures online without worrying about exposing sensitive details.

## How to Remove Metadata From Your Photos

There are various tools available to remove metadata, but choosing the right one ensures the best results for your device and needs.

### Use ExifCleaner if You’re on Windows

ExifCleaner is a popular, free tool for removing metadata from images on Windows. It supports all major image formats such as JPG, PNG, GIF, and TIFF, and its standout feature is batch processing, allowing you to remove metadata from multiple images at once.

1. Download ExifCleaner from its official website and install it on your PC.

4. ExifCleaner will strip the metadata and display the before-and-after details in a table.
5. Hover over the “Exif Before” number to view the original embedded details.

**Important:** ExifCleaner overwrites the original images, so back up your photos if you want to retain the metadata.

**Alternative native method on Windows:**

– Open File Explorer and navigate to your image.
– Right-click the file, select **Properties**, and go to the **Details** tab.
– Click **Remove Properties and Personal Information**.
– Choose to create a copy with all possible properties removed or selectively remove them from the original.

**To remove location data in Preview:**

– Open the image in Preview.
– Click the **i** (info) button on the toolbar.

### On an iPhone? Exif Metadata Has You Covered

The iPhone App Store has few third-party apps for metadata removal, but **Exif Metadata** is a reliable, free option. It lets you quickly view, edit, and remove metadata, and includes an extension for in-app viewing within the Photos app.

– Tap the **i** button.
– Tap **Adjust** next to the location.
– Select **No Location** to clear GPS data.

## Final Thoughts

Clearing metadata from your photos is a smart privacy step before sharing on social media or online. However, you don’t always have to remove all metadata entirely.

A good approach is to selectively remove sensitive details like GPS coordinates or personal identifiers while keeping useful information intact.

Choose the method and tool best suited to your device and your needs to strike the perfect balance between privacy and functionality.
