“We have bowed at the alter of caution and we have paid a mighty price,” says mayor-elect Mamdani during his victory speech. DNC gotta be freaking the hell out rn

It's been a half hour since the AP called it for Mamdani and already I see some people wringing their hands about how the cards are stacked against him, and to them I say, my friends, learn to enjoy a fucking moment, they didn't come around near enough, the man of the hour is partying, take the hint

A really great piece by my favorite tech journalist:
Protests, mass meetups, conferences—a youth-led movement is reclaiming the Luddite mantle, rejecting a future dominated by Silicon Valley companies, toxic apps, and generative AI.
This fall, a "Luddite renaissance" is in full swing.

I've had a really good cooking run of just excellent stuff this summer, about time I hit a real dud of a dish. That'll teach me to ever follow recipes! 😆 (But there's a good idea to be had in the confit garlic/tomato with lemon and calabrian chili gnocchi idea, once reconstructed, better.)

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.
