Being gay means knowing “do you think that guy is hot?” and “would you have sex with him?” are two very different questions with often different answers.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Honestly if Mamdani is as charismatic as he seemed in the campaign we may have free buses and govt grocery stores nationwide here soon. Trump is very easily influenced.

I wasn’t mad about the Hemsworth being the Witcher till I realized he didn’t have any chest hair. Obviously he didn’t take the role very seriously.

Starting the new season of The Witcher and I think it may be a bad business model for a show with so many competing storylines to take years and years off between seasons.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles
