I keep seeing posts about how no one talks about these murders, while the UHC executive’s killing was news for months, and note that one of these stories happened in the heart of the national media in Manhattan, and the others were off in the provinces, covered by local journalists you don’t read

Melissa and Mark Hortman’s beloved golden retriever, Gilbert, was the first dog in Minnesota history to lie in state. His ashes sat in an urn between the Hortmans in the Capitol rotunda.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

Graphics card companies have the technology to make all games be in Squiggle-vision, but choose not to. This is because they are all cowards.

"The Mamdani campaign’s identity is the work of a tiny design co-op called Forge, and specifically its designer Aneesh Bhoopathy, formerly of Queens and now living in Philadelphia" — a little bit Bollywood, a little bit bodega :)

this is why i am pretty confident there will not be a meaningful attempt to do an end run around mamdani. a lot of elite cuomo support seemed to be based on “well, he’s probably going to win and he’s a vindictive asshole and i don’t want to be on his bad side.”

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

JUST IN: Andrew Cuomo has conceded the Democratic primary for New York City mayor to Zohran Mamdani. Candidates backed by the Working Families Party also won mayoral primaries in Buffalo and Syracuse. Keep up with our guide to tonight's many elections. boltsmag.org/whats-o...

I was bracing to need to worry about years of recall elections if Mamdani won in a late round, since billionaires fund those for fun, but sailing to victory like this in a few hours gives me hope that a Mamdani administration could actually get some work done.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.
