This commercial for French's Mustard from 1987 is equal parts charming and also kinda unsettling, but what strikes me is the work that went into the absolutely delightful puppetry and practical effects for a *mustard commercial*!! Imagine that today??

Good day to listen to this. Also a good day for every Dem candidate to reach out to Capitol Records about permission to use it at campaign events.

If media is going to insist on including “34 year old” every time they mention Zohran Mamdani, they should do it for everyone.
74 year old Chuck Schumer…
72 year old Susan Collins….
79 year old Donald Trump…
Regardless, it’s a great day to be a New Yorker! 🗽

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Data is sparse, but I'd bet school crossing guards are much more likely to die at work than police officers. They're at least as deserving of hazard pay.
Crossing guards face life-threatening dangers on the job
An investigation by The Associated Press and Cox Media Group Television Stations found that school crossing guards face dangerous conditions, with many injured or killed on the job.
