Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

You ignited a grassroots campaign, built on the radical idea that everyone deserves to live in dignity.

This is a seismic victory — not only for the people of New York, but for all those who believe that humanity & hope can prevail.

Thinking about the band 'Stores' who moved me very much at Left of the Dial 2021, only to disappear into thin air. Sometimes bands be like that. Those special ones can be fragile ecosystems, shattered by the first gust.

i started watching basketball in '96. to hear roundball rock before some elite hoops again is the best type of nostalgia ever.
