Clip from New Yorker: A.l. could feasibly banish the pain of loneliness entirely; we could all have access to artificial companions that know everything about us, never forget and anticipate our needs better than any human

Very nice analysis over on @garbageday.email on why Mamdani won.

Hope we can continue using social media to amplify the joy of a good candidate with popular policies
So expect to hear a million reasons why Mamdani won today and what it means for Democrats across the country going forward, but, from where I'm sitting, it's pretty simple. Social media does not turn a bad candidate into a viable one. It's just amplification. And the same platforms that can amplify the ugliness and hatred and resentment of someone like Trump can amplify the joy and earnestness and seemingly genuine conviction of a candidate like Mamdani. It cannot, however, make voters forget that a candidate like Cuomo killed their grandparents during COVID or that current New York Mayor Eric Adams is a genuine maniac. There's no magic trick. Mamdani ran a regular ass campaign where he spoke clearly about what he cared about and was normal about it and it worked. Revolutionary! And I understand why this would all be very threatening to Democrats, seeing as how most of them do not seem to care about anything.
