The problem with this headline is that Ros doesn't actually tie the cancelation to quality. She just admits what fans said. Amazon greenlit S2 during S1, having seen S1, so it's clearly not a quality problem. This ignores that Amazon's calculus re: success might have changed over 4 years. #WoTSkies

Will this change anything? Or can they not see beyond the Orange One, their hatred of women, people of color and immigrants and science and truth?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

that's why this win will be meaningful: everything Claire says in this thread

unsurprisingly, they are all still trying to make him seem illegitimate (and not bc he's young and inexperienced): he's a dual citizen from an African country, he eats with his hands, he calls relatives "auntie", he code switches, he's pro-Hamas and anti-Jew, and on and on.

if he wins, it will be historic for many reasons. here's one aspect: a repudiation (one hopes) of how media and those in power turned NYC against all its Muslim residents 24 years ago.

This opening is making me miss as Henry as Geralt. oops. Clive Russell and the kid are lovely tho.
Great writeup. Actually kind of got me thinking "ok maybe I'll watch it".

but I'll still giggle at "Vilgefortz of Roggeveen" bc how can you not.

Reminder that his father Mario might have been ashamed of this type of gutter racism. Whatever else he may have done, he eschewed reactionary rhetoric when running against Procaccino, who stoked fear of other immigrant groups + poor people. A great piece on this: www.michaellange.nyc/cp/177024392
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

So the most lethal department / army in the world does have a priority other than murdering people in the caribbean: it is to criticize every fictional tv series or movie that comes out that’s about the army.

how do I know that that "review" of Talamasca ep 1-2 was not written by our beloved @romanwriting.bsky.social ? Because it wasn't a good recap OR a review that told me anything other than "it starts slow". COME ON.

You can vote for Andrew Cuomo, who lied about elderly deaths and sexual harassment

OR

you could vote for the guy who uses warm familial relationships to describe people who are not as closely related as those words imply
