holy cow, I might actually get a chance to vote against him a third time 😌

"It took me a few months to track down all the issues. As I read them, I remember feeling more and more amazed. This zine was rewriting my entire understanding of transsexual history." defector.com/unearthing-t...

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

i would like to see an official statement from the Mamdani campaign on this, and I would like it to be that picture of Thomas Haden Church in Sideways where he’s giving a thumbs up while focusing on his menu

Grabbed the last one at the newsstand I passed on the way to work. If you got one, make sure to flip through for additional pages worthy of framing

he knows what he has to do

Finally, Democrats have escaped Obama Cadence and embraced the future: Eminem Cadence

Mamdani being the campaign manager for Barkan’s unsuccessful 2018 State Senate campaign is a delightful little wrinkle here

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Farewell sweet Prince

according to @jessyedwards.bsky.social of @hellgatenyc.com Curtis Sliwa just said on stage that he was offered $10 million to drop out of the race

I'd vote against Cuomo a third time if I could

here is a mockup

I’m going to hold off on having any feelings about Cheney until 1) the mayoral results have come in and 2) I’m absolutely certain the night sky contains no new constellations

43% in a primary, which people generally think of as a multi-candidate event, sounds impressive. (36% actually had him as their first choice, to Mamdani’s 43%.) “Andrew Cuomo was beaten by 13 points in the primary runoff” sounds like what it was, which was a rout.

Two things are made even clearer by this: 1) Sliwa should never be put in charge of anyone who is not a cat 2) @davidjroth.bsky.social needs to issue him some sort of “New Yorker Of Distinction” Lifetime Achievement award

Come work with me!

I’ve assigned “When I Win The Lottery” in my Intro To Game Design course syllabus. You understand that song, you understand probability.

I’m happy that the 38-year-olds now have their own “6-7”, and would like to recommend this book

This is a good review that raises a question that I, as a non-Christian, cannot answer: what, uh, did Jesus *do* after he resurrected? Just hang out for 40 more years and die again from a flu? It never comes up. I guess I always just pictured him floating away like Poochie after he gives his spiel.

this is everything I know about Maine and I plan on keeping it that way

this band is basically Mdou Moctar without Mdou Moctar, which means I like it less than Mdou Moctar with Mdou Moctar but more than any other guitar rock released in the 2020s

I do not know what led this asymmetric coop game to show up on the NYU Game Center 's front door today unless it was me quietly praying "Robert Moses... did bad things..." at bedtime. But it looks great and is going right in the library
