Mamdani must clarify his position* on every single thing anyone with lefty vibes has ever said, anywhere, about anything. * By clarify his position I mean endure a dozen news cycles that imply he himself said it, then a dozen more parsing his disavowal and implying he doesn't mean it.

We stopped producing new guitar bands and everything went wrong everywhere and I'm kind of only about 70% joking when I say this.

FINE. I’ll watch Das Boot again I suppose. (It’s about the right time for my annual rewatch)

What you want, on nice Saturday morning when you have lots of jobs to do, is a podcast episode about Das Boot, in which everyone stubbornly mispronounces "Das Boot" throughout.
