1. “Back off, Bucko. You’re bad!” is poetry.
2. Please explain “no thanks, I’d rather not be a cannibal.” Is this a world where weed is people or people is weed? Did weed during the “reefer madness” era have a bathsalts reputation? I don’t understand!

I just found this old picture of a poster that was on the wall at the school my friend taught at and there’s some incredible stuff in there

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.
Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

I keep getting mad at myself for never remembering to early vote but voting in the morning and then getting to be at a bar with my friends when Mamdani was named mayor in the same day was actually 10/10 and I would do it again.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?
great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

It's popular, I think, to be demure about one's own writing or to distance oneself from something well-written as if it popped into being fully formed and independent of our making it.
So before imposter syndrome returns: I have read it again, and I wrote the fuck out of this mermaid book, y'all.
