I don't understand why Brad Lander doesn't have more traction in the NYC mayoral race. He's accomplished, competent, has a lot of good policy ideas - really the Kathryn Garcia lane right there. What's missing?

I'm listening to an album I liked from 2005 and remembering what it was to be young, angry, and energetic, and that just is all to say, good luck, Zohran voters

@claremontrun.bsky.social Question: did Chris have Japanese or African friends while in NY in the 70s? How did he do his cultural research, especially in the 100s-110s?

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

I spent yesterday testing the Apple iPhone 16e against a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 phone. Yes, I am biased! But I'm also not wrong. First of all, the C1 is definitely short of our modem lineup on features. Here's a handy chart our engineers came up with based on the analysis they did over the weekend.

I'd say "Queens stands up," but we have a bizarre number of AOC/Trump voters, so heck if I know

So does the favor of the King get Eric Adams reelected? Or does Andrew Cuomo find some way to bend the Sovereign's ear

Just can't shake the feeling that we have a government by completely random proclamation right now. No Congress, no courts. If Elon tweets "y'all gotta wear green hats" then we all have to wear green hats.

Just checking. Elon is king now and can do whatever he wants, right? I read that a judge told his guys to get out of the Treasury but there's zero reason or mechanism to make him comply, right?

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

The media now has to cover everything the President says as if it's an absolutely well thought through policy idea he intends to totally implement. It's surreal.

Until I see someone in Congress take any actual effective action against this, I will assume they all at least vaguely support this. They must be so relieved to not have to make any decisions any more, to have it all done for them now.
