Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

"With almost 90 percent of the votes counted, Mr. Mamdani was winning the Bronx by 11 points, a striking turnaround from the primary when he lost the county to Mr. Cuomo by 18 points." Wow. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

“A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new,when an age ends & when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance” Zohran Mamdani quotes Jawaharlal Nehru’s ‘Tryst with Destiny’ Speech on the eve of Indian independence #Mamdani #NYC #Nehru

Very proud to have contributed a few chapters to this book on the past, present, and future of neon in HK. The process showed me how it’s so much more than just sappy sentimentality to mourn HK’s lost lights — and that despite everything… neon’s not dead. Consider backing our Kickstarter campaign ⬇️

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !!! South Asian social media is going absolutely berserk this morning. He quoted Nehru: "A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance" 💪♥️

And let's not forget Hyderabad-born Ghazala Hashmi this morning, new Democratic lieutenant governor of the state of Virginia. She's the first Indian-American and first Muslim woman there to be elected to a statewide office. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/04/p...

Hearty congratulations to Helen Garner who has won the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction with her collected diaries, How to End a Story. A glorious book - confession, analysis, memory store, comedy - which shows all the things words can do: often on the same page. AND it’s mega good value.

Has anyone done a wellness check at the op-ed department of the New York Times yet?

BREAKING: All three PA Supreme Court Justices will RETAIN their seats!! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Does this mean we’re losing a borough

It appears that the big question in NYC isn't whether Mamdani will win, but whether Cuomo will be able to spend the rest of his life complaining that Sliwa spoiled it for him — based on current numbers, it's going to be tough.

Today is only the beginning. Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

...Meanwhile, Trump's characterization of his lawsuit against CBS is utterly false, which is something you'd hope that a highly paid news personality from that same network would be willing to mention. Instead, Norah O'Donnell just wants to move on

#China govt targets journalists for speaking truth to power. To mark the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, #Beijing must free #HuangXueqin, #LiYuanfeng, #ZhangZhan, #ChenJieren & all detained press freedom defenders. 👉 www.un.org/en/observanc...

One more... If this isn't a five alarm fire.... I don't know what is!!! Thanks @muellershewrote.com

This question about the pardon almost didn’t get asked. It came only after O’Donnell had already thanked Trump for participating Then, Trump agrees to answer 1-2 more questions

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review. This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month. Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Q: Why didn't you have a "John McCain moment" in response to the interviewer's Islamophobic comments about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ? Cuomo: If it had been a supporter I would have done what McCain did, but obviously since it was a *radio commentator* I laughed along and joined in the fun, duh

Q: Will you unequivocally condemn Islamophobic comments against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social now? Cuomo: Sure, I condemn everything, all lives matter. By the way diversity also can be a weakness

We are disappearing human beings to forced labor camps or worse and the majority of white Americans continues to act as though it’s fine to keep taking the enormous privileges of being American without lifting a finger or even a voice to make it stop human trafficking, mass murder, and war crimes.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Saying this was considered so beyond-the-pale overtly racist it made Enoch Powell a pariah in the woke cancel culture of 1960s Britain.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

Here’s what they actually thought: they’ll just go after the left wing Bad Jews (who aren’t really Jews so it’s ok) but we’re the Good Jews so it will be fine. joelhs.bsky.social/post/3m4gzansohs2a

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon. Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

In so many ways, the vibrancy of our city can be judged by the health of our bodegas. That’s why I’m so proud to be in the Bronx this morning to accept the endorsement of the United Bodegas of America.

History has always been contested, but #AI is making it easier than ever to rewrite the past. In our latest magazine issue, @saliltripathi.bsky.social explores how history is at risk of being overly simplified, further erasing marginalised voices: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
