Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.
"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

This account is very instructive of the fucked up incentives on Meta platforms, and how Facebook pushes this kind of content and literally pays for it.

I've done something that I don't do very often. I wrote a short, quick polemic post. It was prompted by a discussion in here.
It's about why I'm still skeptical about ALTO's HSR project and why there is no way around transparency in public projects.

A quick explainer on Montreal’s election:
The urbanist Projet Montréal party of outgoing mayor Valérie Plante has lost the election to the opposition Ensemble Montréal.
Projet deserves a *lot* of credit for Montreal’s transformation in the past 10 or 15 years to be more bike/pedestrian-friendly.

These five remarkable centenarians credit their longevity to eating well, Japan’s affordable health care, exercise and family support, and something else: their work. “If I die here, in my workshop, I will be happy,” said 103-year-old Seiichi Ishii. nyti.ms/4nv7Tvf

Essential research shows that particulate pollution—generated from motor fuels exhaust, tire wear, wildfires, factories, etc—is associated with dementia. More evidence that it is in the interest of public health to reduce pollution. (Gift link)

As a teen, I went to a left-wing musical at the Ukrainian Labour Temple in Thunder Bay - still remember the lyrics: "Freedom and Fascism, Freedom and Fascism, start with F, but one is a crime. You can never fool, you can never fool, all the people all of the time."
