Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

I have lived in many places and have experienced many different traditions. The most meaningful for me has definitely been The Day of The Day. Thank you LA for bringing this tradition to our lives. Thinking of my mother, aunt, grandparents - today and always. Siempre en mi corazón 🫀

Mamdani lied when he said he wrote right_join(y, x) in dplyr when he actually wrote left_join(x, y). Or perhaps he did the joins in SQL and he lied about that too.
