This mass shooting took place in a city with an $11 billion police budget, under a police mayor, where the only cops the shooter encountered ended up shot, and the cops played no role in the shooter being subdued. If your takeaway from this is "more cops," you're simply an unserious child.
Monday’s mass shooting may put concerns over gun violence back on voters’ minds, and have already lead some to scrutinize Mr. Mamdani for his views on policing. “He clearly does not understand what public safety is all about,” said Cuomo w/ @emmagf.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/n...

Last month I was at a restaurant in LA. Emilio Estevez was at the next table over. We made eye contact. I gave a slight nod. End of interaction.

“General counsels for multiple companies told the Journal that the law firms’ willingness to cut deals with the president, rather than stand up for themselves, greatly eroded their confidence in the ability of those firms to represent them in court or in high-pressure negotiations.”

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists.
But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
