It’s also this though.
There was one or two collateral pieces that recalled this and given the importance of South Asians to his campaign, I would say it’s a nod to both NYC bodegas and Hindi cinema. Iirc, the Curbed piece mentions that influence too.

This is actually why I was mad at David Hogg. He’s trying to contest existing Democrats and all of these races are open. In 2024, 70% of races were uncontested. 70 percent!

Books and reading are trending, so my most recent read was Catalyst, A Rogue One novel. It’s the story of the Ersos before they went into hiding and has a lot of kyber crystal lore.

My first thought when I saw Zuck‘s new glasses was:
Satya Nadella called. He wants his glasses back.

This is the other part of what she’s saying tho.
She’s saying that he did campaign on specific things, but that his real promise was keeping power and that he is delivering on that promise.

Bernie and AOC can explain the nuances to them. Give them a chance to do that.

People: No one knows what oligarchy means
Team AOC: here’s a sticker
Their retort is that people do know it means, but just to clarify and throw shade

I am obsessed! With a piece of construction equipment.
I saw it today walking by the Calder Museum construction site.
It was just running back-and-forth and back-and-forth and back-and-forth over the soil.
It’s a BMP 3500 soil compactor. It retails for about $13,000.

I literally sent a couple of these grievances to my electeds. I got form letters.
I admit I laid it on a bit thick. This rhetoric is all they seem to understand.
In retrospect, maybe NPR shouldn’t have tweeted it out during his first term. He seems to take it as a challenge now.
