I can no longer find humor in Trump parodies. The man has caused too much unforgivable harm for me to willingly listen to him in any form, even comedic impressions.
This week’s “SNL” cold open highlights the show’s approach to a firehose of news, Erik Adams writes: Dump it into James Austin Johnson’s catchall monologues as Trump, and save the rest of the episode for sillier fare: https://theatln.tc/KvAEA33q

Shopping mall "newsstand" sells only three types of products: energy drinks, candy, and scratch tickets. I'm surprised they still bother with the vestigial term in their name.

Pedestrians who hug the oncoming part of the sidewalk and expect the other 99.9% of people to move out of their way are the worst.

On a night when I was following the New York City mayoral race I met Berry, the former mayor of the Davis Square bike path. Our encounter was brief but friendly. I'm sure she had places to be.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Politicians who appeal to the best in us don't come around very often. After listening to Mamdani speak for several months I like and trust him. That's not something I do lightly for members of that profession.

It seems fitting that a prominent member of the old guard dies as a popular local movement levels up. As this video says, it's important to encourage idealism and keep taking big swings in the face of so much greed and malice. It's still possible for the world to improve, one casket at a time.
Today is only the beginning.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.
Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.
