This is like when someone hears you’re from Long Island and asks if you know Bill from Ronkonkoma.
NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists.

I feel like I’m back at Sharper Image.
I’m afraid I’m one of those people who sees discarded electronics in the laundry room of my building and says “why, that’s a perfectly good [tk pricey status symbol from 1998]” so imagine how happy I am today. Me and my leatherman and my canned air and my dirty toothbrush are set for the weekend

i feel this way about CITIZEN KANE, which is a very fun and funny movie
People who think Kurosawa is “homework cinema” need to be slapped around a bit.
so cool that when Kurosawa made Seven Samurai, he was like, "What if a movie absolutely ripped for three-and-a-half hours straight?"

no line in the movie more important than when he hands his mom the rock chipped off the pyramid and says, “We built that.”

Cup on the floor is fine, you ride the subway long enough you know how to hold it between your feet, also prob temporary for the photo of him reading the paper, everyone who is mad about it needs to calm down
Mayor Mamdani hasn't moved into Gracie Mansion yet and remains in his Astoria apartment for now, his team says. He expects to move at some point before his lease is up Jan. 30.
His team also shares this pic of him taking the W train to City Hall this morning from Astoria.

And how well I recall the resonance of the term "unindicted coconspirator" as it was applied to Richard Nixon by that 1974 grand jury.
Also excellent, to be sure: "expletive deleted."

The term is meant to specify that one is involved in the same conspiracy as another conspirator, as opposed, I guess, to my being in one conspiracy and you in another.

Doesn’t ‘coconspirator’ mean the same thing as ‘conspirator’?

Goddamn this is good, and also a way to fire up the real journalists working, and fighting, to tell the truth.
As it happens, I have experience with high-level government demands to stop an explosive, accurate story from running, and I also have experience with 60 Minutes spiking a story I was involved in, so I have thoughts about the travesty at CBS. If you want some journalism anecdotes, here are a lot:
