Watching this on good ol' analog TV tonight. What a gem. We need more Mister Rogers in the world. Sometimes it makes me sad to think of how little the generations that grew on him seemed to take to heart. I hope that these pieces serve as a reminder of a better way.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

Why not both? Why is the media so devoid of imagination that it believes a party can only be represented by one type of person or idea? Why the constant obsession with this divisive horserace bullshit? What if the answer isn't either or or, but a right candidate for their time and place?
Is the Democratic Party’s future Zohran Mamdani, a movement politician fluent in social media? Or is it Mikie Sherrill, who has the sort of résumé and mainstream credentials of an Establishment Democrat?
Is the Democratic Party’s Future Zohran Mamdani or Mikie Sherrill?

Yes! This is such a better use of pre-show time than countless advertisements. Would love to see more of this.
"Éiru" (Cartoon Saloon) will play ahead of North American theaters of "Little Amelie".
Well done, GKIDS. Screening short films before feature films is still too rare.
