Big chance for Brad to bring this character arc to an incredible crescendo by agreeing to have a boxing match with me

Hmmmmm interesting. I, Dave Colon, was there in 2020 talking to him and Emily Gallagher and other DSA candidates about free transit. And yet this website still never considers me for "Winner of the Week" nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/02/17/m...

It hasn't even been 48 hours since the New York Post gormlessly told its readers "Mayor Adams has made some mistakes but he's ready to move on from them with a new team you can trust" www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/27/i...

This man is addicted to illicit fundraisers

"Records obtained ... via a Freedom of Information Law request nonetheless reveal that months before being hired, Pool contributed $2,100, the legal max, to Adams’ reelection campaign as part of an exclusive fundraiser in Puerto Rico attended by the mayor." -- www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/27/e...

I walked by a woman in my neighborhood earlier who was wearing a t-shirt commemorating the Mets' combined no-hitter from 2022, so when I tell you that New York Is Back you should know that I really mean it.

Eric Adams says that the Democratic primary only draws out the "far left" of the city's Democratic voters, which is why Zohran Mamdani's victory isn't that impressive. Now to just see who won the 2021 Democratic primary for mayor

Bluesky

Someone must have left a copy of The Great Gatsby in there.

Was playing basketball and an opponent’s pass hit the back of my head while I was defending someone else, and my teammate recovered the ball. I’m counting that as a steal for my stat line

So many of the “How did Zohran win” postmortems in the news this week seem to forget the most important thing—he got a lot more votes than his opponents.

“you come up with a mean nickname to call this guy on TV?” “sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked”

You haven't seen this Type of Guy lately, the "I am opposing congestion pricing leftistly" guy

#Breaking: According to @mta.info fare increase may be tied to full implementation of OMNY. Not confusing people with too many things all at once and possibly figuring out more discounts for the new payment system. That means could come next year and not this year. @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social

The mayor desperately running old slogans out there against a guy who very famously is out on these streets

Daniel Loeb also wrote that Andrea Stewart-Cousins did "more damage to people of color than anyone who has ever donned a hood" www.nytimes.com/2017/08/10/n...

Time to scrap public schools I guess

This morning's NY Post; this afternoon's campaign re-launch: x.com/KellyMena/st...

Starting your "Here's how this guy could be a good mayor" piece with "This Muslim guy has to prove to us he's not an anti-Semite" is complete bigotry www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how...

I shouldn't be surprised that Kirsten Gillibrand, who got into politics as a pro-gun Blue Dog type, is Like This. And yet every time she talks I am more and more disgusted

This is what's happening to me with free buses

Reached into my old bag of tricks from the days when I was American University's worst student to do some political communication analysis. My takeaway: Zohran Mamdani is pretty good at political communication nygroove.nyc/the-secret-t...

Lmao this rocks this guy thinks I'm not a Jewish voter. He's one of those people who thinks I'm Latino. Or even Italian

Chris Archer produced 1.2 WAR over parts of two seasons for the Pirates after they traded for him in 2018. If you add up the totals of the guys the Rays got back, plus the guys they traded those guys for, the Rays have gotten over 30 WAR in production, with 5 guys from the thread on the 2025 roster.

Mets win a goddamn game finally, on the first full day of the Zohran Mamdani Democratic nominee for mayor era
