I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

I don’t get the logic or morality of the people currently complaining that food stamps make recipients lazy. Even if it were remotely true, given the choice, I’d rather make someone lazy than make them hungry
Depriving a person (and their children!) of food is a shitty way to boost productivity

As a white guy who married into a south Asian family, the freedom to call literally anyone older than me “auntie” or “uncle” was a godsend at big parties. It means “we share a family connection and I respect you”. To whites, it just means “you are my parent’s sibling”
i love the logic of “it we purposely misunderstand a cultural difference people will start to turn on zohran mamdani!”

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

nobody's watching this Sacramento game but their broadcast is using all alternate angles and you can finally get some sense of how plays develop and how athletic the players are compared to the usual angle which really obscures most of the aspects of the game

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

They used to chain werewolves under the stools of people tasked with making these documents to keep them properly motivated, adrenalized, and disinclined to wander.
A legacy of this persists to this day in the folk mind of content creators who often end work with the evocation "lycan sub scribe".
