Can we talk for a minute about how tone deaf and noxious Zohran Mamdani's statement on October 7th is?
I count no less than 10 Hamas Press Office talking points and antisemitic tropes - which NGL is ... quite impressive for a press release aiming to convey sympathy to Jewish New Yorkers.

One of my favorite details about the Doha air strikes is that there's nobody from Hamas who can deny the reports that Khalil el-Hayya, Mousa Abu Marzouk and Khelad Meshal were all killed.

Brad Lander not even coming in 2nd place is a major underwhelming showing.
He is the incumbent Comptroller, the 3rd highest ranking elected in NYC gov.

For the Modern Baseball ballot, where the Veterans Committee looks at players who played primarily 1980 to 2005, the next most deserving Hall of Famers are Keith Hernandez and Lou Whitaker.
Non-coincidentally, Hernandez and Whitaker are the best first and second basemen not in the Hall.

I always have to chuckle when Palestinian nationalists post their graphic of what a "Free Palestine" would look like - and their map always includes the Golan Heights.
So why should the Palestinians have sovereignty over the mostly Druze population of the Golan?

One thing that's legitimately funny about the Luigi Mangione prosecution is that if you at any point ever tweeted posted or made a tiktok expressing admiration for Mangione you can't now pretend to be morally opposed to capital punishment as a matter of principle.
