out of many, none

my premise-spoiling Pluribus review (ie covering the first half-hour or so) goes up in the morning; to spoil that review, it’s a X Files premise at Better Call Saul’s pace

Every trillionaire is a moral failure

actual answer: Aftersun

actually never mind just tear the whole thing down

as we head into the home stretch of awards voting and listmaking, what movies and performances are not getting enough love?

Who ruin the world?

why can’t ICE agents go to the beach? because of the sand which is there

I am gonna need a long, hard fact-check on “private equity took over veterinary medicine because more vets are ladies” and not :waves hands at literally everything else:

lol r u kidding me

Your morning read.

“WHO ORDERED THE CODE BREAD?”

Pretty sure he just proved that he does not, in fact, have to do any of this

This comes down to the moral principle known as the Gulden's Rule

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Bro are you fucking kidding

I don't get nervous about writing too often, but filling Dear Prudence's shoes had me a little shook. Nonetheless, I think this is pretty good advice, about pulling your weight, when (or whether) to have kids, and what to do when your partner just won't stop talking

For @gqmagazine.bsky.social, I went scorched earth on Ridiculousness, a show that had no business being on the air for as long as it was, while effectively killing off whatever was left of MTV's cultural clout. www.gq.com/story/farewe...

mayor-elect mamdani immediately put former ftc chair and SUPERSTAR lina khan on his transition team :)

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

"I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life" is politician for "Now go home and get your fucking shine box."

I hesitated for a few crucial seconds and missed the chance to make an "... and that's why it's bad for the Democratic Party" joke before the real ones started to roll in

Last night's elections are over. This morning's Supreme Court arguments in the tariffs case are about to begin at 10 a.m. IT NEVER ENDS! There is simply no principled way for the Republican-appointed justices to uphold Trump's tariffs ... and yet, they still might! slate.com/news-and-pol...

Big morning after for everyone who calls their dad “baba”

Philly is at close to 34 percent turnout, up from 22 percent four years ago. People are pissed off.

Just realized that every rich and racist New Yorker who’s threatening to leave if/when Mamdani gets elected will want to publish their own Goodbye to All That essay.

Lots of great things about it, but Mamdani’s victory is also an encouraging win over the evil AI hate slop that Cuomo was tossing at the virtual wall at the end there. Deepfakes are dangerous but they are also a sign of despotic desperation.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night. He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

telling that the right has concertedly shifted to calling Mamdani a communist —or an “Islamomarxist,” whatever that is—because his victory proves that “socialist” has lost its “boo!” factor

only saw clips last night so just now learning that Zohran opened his speech with a bar from Eugene Debs

No better way to capture last night's zeitgeist than "Morning Joe" bringing on ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt to attack Mamdani

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

I've gotten this question a bunch. Of the races I was watching on my cheat sheet, here are the GOP wins: —Nassau County executive & DA —mayor of Columbia, SC —mayor of Binghamton, NY —mayor of Manchester, NH —prosecutor of Virginia Beach —a special election for NH state House note: all holds

As the cold reality of Cuomo’s defeat sets in, this is a moment for centrists to ask themselves: Have we lost touch with the common voter? Get out and spend time in the tattoo parlors and dispensaries. The drag shows, community gardens and outsider art galleries where Real New Yorkers congregate

a timely political obit from yours truly 🫡 slate.com/news-and-pol...

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

I have been saying the opposite all year so only fair to note: Some of the worst people alive are very unhappy right now

I bet he can pronounce it now

To my friend Andrew Cuomo — rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you in Valhalla.

fucking phew
