Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

And can we continually mention that a pretty big event happened …. Where in the Jewish candidate got kidnapped in broad daylight defending immigrants and Cuomo didn’t show up and most of the “establishment Dems “ didn’t But every younger Black candidate did……

zohran is proof that to mobilize the left you have to have "dorkiest guy at the punk show" energy instead of "coolest guy at mock trial" energy

a friend was laughing at hello sunshine being marketed as similar to heartstopper (it's gay + about teens but otherwise. no) but then asked what I WOULD say it's similar to to, so I gave it some thought:

There's an inherent human drive to post and see posts. That's what the cave drawings at Lascaux are. That's what those little ancient sculptures of animals in the Met are. Man needs to post!!!

Sports are one of the few things in (American) culture that cut across racial and demographic lines in ways that are absolutely needed in times where elites are trying to sow division. I don't have to follow or be interested in sports to respect that www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

"Undeterred, she came back a few days later when the gate was unlocked. This time, she drove straight inside, not asking permission. Her staff 'deliberately dropped me off inside the lobby before they knew that we were there,' she said." More of this. Thank you, @chu.house.gov.

NYTimes Ed Board 1935 on Mayor La Guardia: "[He is] fond of toying with haphazard proposals that may be benevolent in intention but are dangerous or impossible in practice. He seems always to want to have in hand some socialistic plaything or other. Just now it is a municipal power plant."

My favorite bit of social history is about the role that advice columns played in naturalizing the mass movement of people from rural America to the city — people had to be trained on norms for a very foreign content.

blockbuster didn't die because it didn't acquire netflix. it died because it was acquired by vision as a way for viacom to offload its debt. when blockbuster died, it had a billion dollars in debt on the books, almost all of it viacom's.

If Zohran wins on ranked choice voting math, we will absolutely never be allowed to use the system again. Do let that fire you up as you head to the polls. You can make history by essentially not voting for Cuomo FIVE times on ONE ballot before they take that joy from you.

I'm stressed as hell having to explain to people older than me that we've learned this lesson no less than 3x in my very short lifetime. You can't just topple a regime holding together a bunch of groups who hate each other, unite them in their hatred of you in the process, then expect good things.

I have a working theory that the dehumanizing of the homeless in cities is a gateway drug which helps leads to ICE sweeps, police shooting rubber bullets into crowds, etc. once the homeless are a menace who need to be destroyed, not people squeezed out by housing costs, something is lost, morally.

Things I learned from this video: -Zohran Mamdani was arrested in front of City Hall and went on a 15-day hunger strike -yellow cab drivers like Mouhamadou were $750K in debt -several cab drivers committed suicide -mayoral ads can also be about celebrating Iftar with spicy Bengali food in the Bronx

Grateful to all who’ve read and supported my AI coverage lately. This is probably the most difficult work I’ve done on the subject to date and I hope it it can be a wake-up call. My profound thanks to Kent Taylor for trusting me with his son Alex’s story.
