production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

This is now the apex in the “I watched this so you don’t have to” genre.
Oh man. Everything you've heard about this review is so, so true. Mark Kermode reviews "Melania", repulsion on his face and disgust in every line. The bit about the music choices had me shouting out loud in astonishment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTyU...

I know there are many, many more important things, and it’s an extremely low bar, but I think any future president needs to demonstrate they know how to use capitalisation correctly.

If Dems pushed for sensible gun control reforms right now, the debates would be wild!
“So school shootings are the price of freedom, and the best defence against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun … but you don’t want even law-abiding gun owners carrying in your district?”
“So school shootings are the price of freedom, and the best defence against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun … but you don’t want even law-abiding gun owners carrying in your district?”
Jeanine Pirro declared on Fox that if anyone brings "a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else."

1887 - a time when newspapers had no photography or much in the way of graphic design, of course, just pages of dense text - Lewis's department store in Manchester (now Primark, Market St, I believe) knew how to catch the eye! Stunning advertising work in The Umpire:

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

But as soon as the focus is on quotas, quantity rules over quality. It's easier to grab 20 cleaning ladies who overstayed their visas than 1 cartel member.

The situation in the U.S. is such that if anyone wants to know who is telling the truth, they need to watch potentially multiple videos from different angles of extreme violence and murder.
They WANT you to watch the videos! They WANT you terrorised by them. The trauma is the point!

Boycotting the World Cup is a tad double edged as it is shared with Mexico and Canada. I'd suggest international fans boycott U.S. games and only attend games in Mexico and Canada. Not sure what teams could do that wouldn't also impact C + M.
