don't forget that a lot of democrats see AOC and zohran as threats because they make them look ineffectual, cowardly, and unprincipled. which they are!
Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, called President Trump on Saturday to personally object to strikes the U.S. had conducted in Venezuela and to the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani accused Trump of violating international law.

We need an age limit and recall powers
We need term limits for US Senators, Congressional representatives, and SCOTUS.
Also, we need leaders who actually enforce the US Constitution.

“one death fewer than in 2018, the previous safest year” there are people in the hospital today fighting life-threatening injuries they suffered at the hands of drivers last year. should they pass away, this headline ceases to be true. maybe hold the story for at least a few weeks out of respect.

When I tell people who are somewhat new to Brooklyn that Prospect Park used to have cars coursing through it at rush hours they look at me like I have two heads. There's a lesson there about change, getting things done, and sticking with them.
Today, Prospect Park has been car-free for eight years! A fitting location for this afternoon’s mayoral press conference.
Giving the park entirely to people was one of the longest campaigns TA has fought, and one of our biggest wins.

Don’t know if it’s the norm or not, but I’m enjoying Mamdani’s desk and lectern making another appearance out in the wild...

I think the move for the movie industry isn't necessarily "make theatrical windows long again" but rather to make the window before you can watch the movie for free on a subscription service (vs renting or buying it for a one time payment) like a year.
