Basically every large airport in the country, which means the entire US air travel network will be disrupted

New favourite example of structural ambiguity

The slippage between Greenblatt's characterization of the policies and the anaphora to that description in the scope of "told", as if attributing the characterization to Mamdani himself, is really gross

John Rocker, forever pissing himself on a 7 train in 1999

If Youngkin had been allowed to run for reelection he would have lost badly

Agree. Mamdani is a powerful example of this. He did not make his support for Palestine central to his campaign, but his insistence on sticking to his core beliefs when asked to repudiate them, but also reassuring those who were fearful, actually helped demonstrate his sincerity and values.

At first I read the grocery store line as a horrifically stupid proposal, but if you listen it's clear he thinks this is how things currently work at grocery stores

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

The sum total of elite pundit thought is downstream of the entirely contingent timing of a global pandemic vis-a-vis US elections. Move the pandemic 4 years earlier and all the deep conclusions about the character of the nation and the fates of the major parties would change.

Trump can never be on the ballot again, so they're gonna want to figure that one out

Incredibly proud that Montgomery County, PA broke 50.7% turnout in an odd year municipal election. The highest of any large county in PA history. (Compare even with all the energy, NYC was 23%). Thankful for our amazing voter services team & 2,400 poll workers who make voting easy here.

Confused Elon Musk complaining about ballot layout on the day of Dick Cheney's death. What's the opposite of when hope and history rhyme?

Just heard an interviewee on NPR admonish us to remember Dick Cheney for the totality of his career and accomplishments, as if that were a mitigating suggestion

Ugh just realized Andrew Cuomo is RFK Jr's former brother-in-law

Dick Cheney lived long enough to see the fruits of his labors: an autocratic president attempting to undo the American experiment.

i'm a very biased party here but pretty much everything about the Mamdani campaign and the discourse around it thus far is a pretty thorough vindication of Africana Studies

Congrats to Gannett on running a Cheney headline that sounds like it was produced by a ChatGPT knockoff

It is also worth saying that everyone who mocks some supposedly fake discipline like “gender studies“ or “Africana studies“ is also really excited about degree programs in things like “AI prompt engineering.” Nothing wrong with a “fake” discipline if it flatters your world view and bank account!

Dick Cheney lived through just enough of the world he created to vote for Kamala Harris

What in the world

Can I interest you in the most 1993 thing ever committed to print?

So Cuomo has gotten night-before-election endorsements from both Trump and Musk, do I have that right? Maybe the two most prolific federal criminals of the past 75 years?

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Could probably do worse than "Justice For All"

She's a god tier troll

My kingdom for anything like the following from the NYT: "Even for Some Cuomo Supporters, His Troubled Past Is Cause for Concern" "Even for Some Cuomo Supporters, His Refusal to Accept Will of City's Democratic Electorate Raises Questions"

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Watching Vikings-Lions and after a month of the baseball postseason I have to say the situational drama of even a very dramatic football game does not measure up even a little bit

Free sketch idea: Fear Factor Authentication, a digital security protocol that requires you sit in a vat of snakes to log into your email

Relatedly: I would like for there to be one (1) good mayor of New York City before indulging the pretense that there is some august tradition of leadership available to be ruined

Funny to cite the price they paid and then be like "a price must be paid" More seriously, the argument is that the US Supreme Court is going to be unduly influenced by tv spots that ran during the baseball playoffs? Somehow manages to be insulting to all parties.

Notable that Rob Manfred failed to so much as acknowledge the Blue Jays organization, while standing on their field at the end of one of the great World Series in the history of the game

Want to read what I really think about the Trump administration and the Asia Pacific? Here you go. It’s a goddamn catastrophe for U.S. national interests and for the regional economic and diplomatic order.

University boards don't be destructively interventionist huge dumbasses challenge (impossible)

Vlad in the 11th. Immediately done in by Unforced Small Ball

This game is the baseball equivalent of being punished for stealing fire.

As someone whose formative sports heartbreak was the 1993 World Series, having slept on it I can appreciate the irony of the Blue Jays losing via a succession of little solo home runs arranged and timed as painfully as possible

Brutal. The difference between winning and losing the World Series

Average anti-Bluesky op-ed: this app is solely an echo chamber for left-wing politics Average Bluesky post: baseball has taken everything from me

Joe Davis and John Smoltz are so so bad

Baseball the cruelest game by far, nothing else within miles of it

The split-second spike-on-bag plays will continue until morale improves
