Mamdani is going to implement Shire Law. He will force all New Yorkers to use circular doors, eat 7 meals a day, and avoid adventures at all costs.
Mamdani is going to implement Sha-Na-Na Law. Based in the sensibilities of the 50s but incongruously showing up at Woodstock.
Mamdani is going to implement Sharona Law. My, my, my, my.

Someone once said that the major division in the Democratic party is not between center and left but rather those who want to win and those who want to do something once they've won.

The Bear notably nails working in a kitchen but I will note that Red Oaks depicts country clubs better than Caddyshack despite both being decent.
an interesting subtopic! which shows/movies are beloved by the profession for Getting It Right! Lawyers famously love MY COUSIN VINNIE, doctors I believe love SCRUBS, apparently Aussie barristers are surprisingly fond of RAKE's depiction of some aspects of the law.
Oh god I remember watching HOUSE with some doctors, it was a the usual mix of “you would get fired instantly and never practice medicine again no matter how good u are” and “that case actually isn’t hard to solve at all”

Jennifer Carnahan is aiming to beat Nisswa Mayor John Ryan. GOPers outside of the city worry they'll be the losers.
By Nathaniel Major

Some moderate GOPers fear the recent run of pedophile-associated Carnahan will hurt their chances to win races in the suburbs and Twin Cities.
The Minneapolis DFL’s endorsement of state Sen. Omar Fateh represents a milestone for the party’s far left flank after nearly a decade of making electoral and policy gains at the state Legislature and in local politics.

Pleased to announce the first test of the Little Minnesota bike/run route.

In 23 miles, it creates the outline of Minnesota, and is longer than either the Little Wisconsin or Little Illinois in Milwaukee and Chicago respectively.

Any Democrat who appears on the side of an abuser and known liar like her is a fool and risks the game for us all.
The Feds already have the closest to the truth we can reasonably get, it's just a matter of getting paws on it.
The Daily Mail reporting Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to tell Congress what she knows.

Wonder if anyone is going to take her up on that…

Am I (33M) the asshole for reporting my undocumented friend (33M) to ICE because he called me out in front of our 12 friends celebrating Passover at a restaurant and didn't tip the servers?

I admire @maxhailperin.bsky.social 's sentiment here but I think that having two Wedges is just confusing.
What about "Keystone" or "Chuck"?

The American Left has two vanguards.

One is a network of well paid staffers, think tank experts, and state party intelligentsia.
The other is mostly un- or under- employed, well off people obsessed with theory and poasting.

Both are incompetent.

This is rife with assumption and unsupported statements.
Father Abraham did not fear what the majority thought, he led us to where we wanted to go. Jesus died to make man holy, as we shall die to set man free.

The 1960 Chicago Area Transportation Study, has this to say about planning:

"Public works in democracies are often undertaken in reaction to crises...reactions to immediate pressure do not always provide the best long term solutions. Mistakes can be costly and long lasting in their effect"

I've been thinking about #mnleg 's problem of being a part-time, part of the year job...
What if we made one house full-time, paid them well, and had them in session year round?

I don't know who is convinced by the type of movie trailer that has snippets from the movie of characters saying things ("Brilliant!" "Kick-aww!") which are framed as if the character is talking about the movie
