People always think that grammar/spelling mistakes must make me tear my hair out. But, like.... Literally how could I stand teaching English or editing if that kind of thing upset me?
TL:DR it’s funny how when people hear I’m an English professor they immediately think I’m going to judge their spelling

Called my senators. Told Gillibrand to get rid of Schumer in favor of someone who is willing to lead. Told Schumer that I'd voted for him lots and am desperately hoping to see him primaried.

Turns out my apartment building's elevators are just about 10'6" at maximum internal length.
This was almost my worst "enh, it should fit" assumption to date. But God is good, all the time.

MAGAs are so racist they made up a lie to scare Americans about Obama being a socialist and secret Muslim born in Kenya—and karma responded by electing a Ugandan born Muslim and proud democratic socialist to mayor of New York City.😅

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'.
Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy.

Can't wait to hear Cuomo say he didn't even want it anyway and it doesn't count because he wasn't really trying and also the sun was in his eyes.

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character
I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

Remember, gang, if you’re yelling insults at ICE, stick to things that will be deeply humiliating if they’re read aloud in court. Consider “Your parents only love you out of obligation, not because they like you,” “l bet you jerk off to the Teletubbies” and of course, the Yo Mama joke.
It's not just here but in some charged threat cases where DOJ is treating, "you're a Nazi" or "you're a fascist" as a threat rather than a reasonable observation.
From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

What in the masculinity is this trial?
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

The very few people I encounter who are foaming at the mouth angry about Mamdani pretty clearly don't have much to go on beyond Islamophobia, and it's mostly just really sad to watch.
