Cuomo’s jab at @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, claiming he couldn’t bench press his body weight, wasn’t clever or funny. But it was revealing. Cuomo’s entire idea of masculinity has always been brute force without wit or charm.

The isolation of extreme wealth has convinced Uber’s founder that he is a cutting edge physicist.
Incredible, Uber founder **almost** made some interesting physics breakthroughs using ChatGPT
![screenshot of text from an interview with Travis Kalanick, which reads:
“I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qpyvsjongvk4oiuntlzd5go4/bafkreid2tcfpvmaagfblcxe2ahudntel3bnyfabq2gawworgl2cdjcu3q4@jpeg)

Not many people know how to lose well. Brad Lander has shown he does. Honest, grounded, and no spin. Just clarity and commitment to something bigger. Turning a loss into momentum for broader victories.
Mamdani would be very well served by announcing next week that Brad Lander would be his First Deputy Mayor.
That would effectively end the campaign.
