I remember falling apart on the phone with my mom a year ago talking about the mayoral election because I believed my only options were going to be Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. That there is something in politics that has *improved* in the last 12 months gives me hope like nothing else has

To describe Mamdani's campaign as "laced with antisemitism" while not addressing the in your face gutter racism Cuomo's been using down the stretch gives the game away really.
This is obscene and it's telling that the @nydailynews.com hasn't dared to post it on Bluesky yet.

The Daily News Endorsement: Cuomo offers NYC a path forward while Mamdani peddles hollow promises
Zohran Mamdani’s dithering performance in the final mayoral debate pointed up the ongoing problem with his campaign. It’s a house of cards built on sound bites and laced with antisemiti…

I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!

They really weren't. Signed, the former vice president of the Ohio State college Republicans (sorry)
"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't
there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly
and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

I've been recognized exactly twice from Jeopardy and it was a fun and thrilling experience that I imagine wears out its welcome very quickly.
Science fiction author John Scalzi talks about the happy medium of fame for him, where people that are really into your work recognize you, and it’s rare enough that it’s generally an enjoyable experience, but you’re completely anonymous otherwise.

I can appreciate the tactics Gavin Newsom is using, hope more Dems adopt that approach, not want him to hold any more higher office, and believe we still have three years to go before a presidential election all at the same time

Lifetime's "too young to be a dad" was part of my health class curriculum in 7th grade. Made me a very early Paul Dano fan pre - Little Miss Sunshine
Fun topic: what’s the first time you remember seeing now famous actors? Like, I remember seeing Michael Fassbender in JONAH HEX and thinking “shit, this dude’s good.”
I first saw Karl Urban in the movie Ghost Ship at a filthy $1 theater.
I could’ve never anticipated how many times I’d be saying to myself “Hey, it’s the guy from Ghost Ship!” for the rest of my life.

Lawyers who litigate against individuals with stalking histories and histories of extremely violent conduct against any opposition are required to do so under their names, even at great personal risk. So yeah, this sucks.
Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.
“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.
