A write up on why reading other critics is worthwhile in all instances, with extensive quoting from others works I have read, and publicly sharing the very large games writing resource document I've been slowly accumulating links for these past months (years) open.substack.com/pub/breaking...

"I was wondering if maybe you could put directly in the newspaper that I'm mad?"

"I'm happy to cause him one more little aggravation." hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

almost posted my actual thoughts on TGAs

"The premise of Cuomo's primary campaign was that the mayor's office was his by right, because of his last name and because of the indignity he had been forced to endure when he resigned in disgrace from his position as New York's governor." defector.com/defeat-isnt-...

I wrote this in June and the disgusting way since then that Cuomo and the oligarchs have been willing to tear the social fabric of the city apart to stop him has only made it more true and Zohran’s victory more thunderous. Next we stop ICE.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

now that im seeing people praise the general depiction of Zelda in Imprisonment it would be neat to try and really reconcile it with not only how the original game treats her (deeply offensively) but also the recent official paratext that is the Zelda notes app (with hostility)

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer. Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality. hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

surely someone has a turn the volume up tattoo already right

Story time last night doing some gotv volunteering we got heckled and followed by a self-described fourth gen NYer who thought transplants (we were in williamsburg) were making the city unaffordable by taking all the jobs and they should go back to where they came from to fix their problems. /1

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

bro quotes Jawaharlal Nehru, disses Cuomo, calls out the Islamophobia, and shouts out the trans community in one speech *this is what they were afraid of*

sliwa's concession speech being a thinly veiled threat of vigilantism if mamdani "enacts socialism" when he lost even worse than predicted cus his own party turned on him sure is a good summary of that guy everyone made memes about

Simply cannot stress enough that you’re gonna have to leave corporate media behind; it is hostile to you, and your lifestyle.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

wanna sit in on the annual meeting where someone has to explain to a bunch of amazon execs why they can't just get rid of hazbin hotel

think im well aware of the lean at the nyc outlets I get my news from but even that is barely coming through the coverage of these ballot proposals and I am afraid I actually just want some people (other than the council and devs) picking sides on these

It's way harder for New Yorkers who are locked up in the City's jails to vote than it should be. Abigail Glasgow reports on some grassroots efforts to make it easier, and talked to some voters at Rikers who were able to overcome the obstacles this year. hellgatenyc.com/voting-riker...
