Forgive the link, but Savage’s note in the Times is the importance bit. They’ve made judicial constraint of the executive more difficult. www.threads.com/@bribox/post...

In a real way it doesn’t matter who is mayor of NYC (… we haven’t had a functioning one in 20 years). The city has momentum that carries it forward no matter which narcissistic clown lives in Gracie Mansion.

Don’t know who your source is, but the Times declined to endorse anyone. And no one will need to sabotage Mamdani. He promised things no mayor can deliver (like a rent freeze).

At this point, Schumer is just cosplaying resistance.

I doubt it’s what Maye Musk had in mind, either…

The old identity-based coalition is fracturing. The party needs a populist class-based platform that will put something like the old New Deal electorate back together.

Unless Bernie caucused with Republicans. They are principle-free - all they care about is power.

Perspective helps. All things considered, I would’ve preferred that voters elected ChatGPT in the last election instead of what we got. Just sayin’.

They’ll come up with something you only hear whispered in their scrums as you walk by, like “hibbidi”.

For some college journalists the line between reporting and advocacy is... permeable. I noticed that, two weeks ago, NBC reported on planned protests but, at the time, there was no mention of this in Spec. Odd. www.nbcnewyork.com/news/nationa...

About 15 years late, but a win’s a win - right?

Consent decrees are imposed by courts. My feeling is that CU tried to thread a needle by using Trump’s bullying as cover to reverse some 60s-era constraints on security that have led to countless activist disruptions over the years. Worthy goal, poor execution.

I’m a big ChatGPT fan, but this is concerning - if they want to supplement user interaction history with social connection data. That’s a lot of high-quality information.

I’m hardly in a position to second-guess the financial management of schools that are centuries old. They must be doing something right…

Galloway’s heart is in the right place but he discounts the effort elite schools already make to increase access to deserving students while trying to maintain high standards and quality (which drives the prestige that applicants covet).

Good news: Given their 5% acceptance rate you probably don’t have to worry about that.

Jeez, that guy loves his own voice. A perfect example of people on the left purging imperfection from their ranks. Why not just demand Columbia faculty and admins be sent to the countryside to work in the fields until reeducated?

Assuming it’s true, it shows how fragile global supply chains are - with little built-in redundancy.
