Full Zohran Mamdani campaign internal poll (conducted by Workbench): Andrew Cuomo - 40% Zohran Mamdani - 27% Brad Lander - 8% Adrienne Adams - 7% Scott Stringer - 6% Zellnor Myrie - 5%

I've always argued basketball teams should be allowed to decline a foul call FTs, like in football. It would get rid of the hacking of bad FT shooters and also lessen the Foul Up 3.

making fun of a samurai I thought I beat in a sword fight 2 days ago when my torso starts sliding cleanly away from my legs

Lol, “Wes Anderson’s best film since Grand Budapest Hotel.” What’s the single film they skipped??? 🤔

Since we’re having a discussion about the culture here: - Quote-dunking is a posturing relic of the old place. If someone tries it here, just detach quote and/or block - Nuclear block is your friend. This site is free. Don’t waste your time arguing with trolls. Just block & move on.

I’m not peeing in public. I’m sidestepping typical urinary procedures

My colleague Robert Carroll has been a principled, progressive legislator who fights for policy that lifts up each and every New Yorker, especially when it comes to literacy education. I am so proud to receive his support and look forward to working together on this critical issue.

Y’all!! I was today years old when I found out how awesome eurovision song contest is

starting in 3 hours yall! get yourself some art!!!

I’m laughing cuz Coco is the only Pixar film I’ve ever seen in theaters. I saw Sinners this weekend. So I guess it’s not the most popular domestic release of the last 10 years if I’m not there

I’m in the minority when I say that AI should have rights. It’s not that I think these machines “deserve” these rights, but if AI has rights then it shouldn’t be controversial immigrants, women, trans people, and all humans have rights. Giving AI rights makes every other struggle more consistent

So Laid is getting a second season…. right?

If you’re laughing this off, I want you to know that every disabled person I lost to COVID or long COVID has “pneumonia.” “Heart disease.” “Stroke.” “Complications of diabetes.” “Malnourishment.” on their certificates, and their families are struggling deeply to get the truth told.

Nurses from CenterLight Healthcare delivered a strike notice and are ready to go on an unfair labor practice strike for their healthcare coverage and fair contract starting April 14! Nurses don't want to strike, but CenterLight management has left them with no choice.

anybody else see a crewmember in frame of Judy’s reaction shot in the new righteous gemstones?

We know you would, that's the entire problem

Here's how you end a Hands Off! demonstration, Santa Barbara style. Thanks to the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, who organized the human alphabet and took the drone shots! #indivisible #handsoff

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

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

Easily 5k people here at the capital

Yuuuuuge showing for hands off in NYC

I guess a whole city whose existence is pegged to functioning universities is mad!

They are trying to murder Rumeysa Ozturk. For writing a fucking op-ed.

It really speaks to the nihilism of America that the office of the presidency and the Constitution that imbues it with such power isn’t taken seriously by most. To most it is a tv show and they have offered their jobs, healthcare, and pensions for the privilege of being entertained.

not with a bang but with a chatbot-written economic plan

I dont know if Walton Goggins peaked this Sunday on HBO max, but if he did then at least his peak will be immortalized in full frontal nude jet skiing

I strongly agree with the premise it’s not bad to possess a billion dollars, it’s bad to hoard a billion dollars. If you have a billion dollars, spend it! #treatyoself

arrest elon musk.

I see you Cory Booker. I guess I’ll donate to your campaign so people see that when you fight, you get support

Don’t be this person. Politics is performative. Booker is forcing the media and party to pay attention. 100k people are watching him on YouTube alone. Criticism like this is idiotic and emblematic of the “perfect as enemy of good” narrative that cripples the party.

Remember the Democratic Party is not a check on the right, it’s a check on the left
