Ok bud, it doesn't fit, time to leave the Old Navy fitting room. No, no buddy the store staff will put it back on the rack, no really, just leave it on the hanger and..... sigh.

The Mamdani campaign did exactly that. It was amazing to watch. In his acceptance speech there were clear signs that he is not afraid of them, as he delivered a couple of low key zingers to Cuomo with a big smile.

How awesome would it be if a full tantrum was held in the new ballroom?? Awesome for us, obviously, not the poor ketchup.

Even under Tudor monarchs' full authority, they desperately wanted favorable regard from "the people"--commoners. Rising barons cared more about palace intrigue, but rulers craved popularity, likely from a sense of fragility based on domestic populist uprisings, as opposed to foreign invasion.

Am trying and failing to come up with a good Kool Aid joke. Bitterly disappointing that higher education slavishly does this, even with the federal grants they'd lose if they stand up to the bullies.

Presuming of course that they once functioned in such society without derision. RFK and Miller only tolerated for their wallets. Leavitt...?? Bondi from what I read was once not insane. Now she can't go back to..... well, Florida. Maybe she can.

But doesn't that mean the univ president will need to approve white supremacist advocacy material?? And confirm that it's written by white men? None of this George Eliot pseudonym chicanery.

Who owns the Globe these days? Propublica is one of the go-tos for donating my savings from the Times sub. Also a worker owned outfit here called @hellgatenyc.com.

It's so awful. Meanwhile Larry is in the emails clearly discussing events outside of the marriage with shrink Jeffery advising him on his interactions with, presumably, a young woman. Remembering his writings about women being inferior.

If there's a hell, that firepit gonna be overcrowded.
