Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

So many scenes and locations unchanged 60 years later, when I was a student there, to today. Such gratitude that this treasure was spared the firebombing.

One of the many post-mortems I read yesterday talked about the butterfly effect of Ishiba losing the upper house -> resigning and replaced by Takaichi -> coalition ends with Kōmeitō -> Kōmeitō flails about and joins with CDP. For want of three upper house seats...

The most underrated force over the last few years of Japanese politics is generational change. The end of Boomer domination of the society and its politics, people for whom high-growth era was "normal". Takaichi is riding this wave, but....she is the last boomer standing (1961)

🚨DOJ quietly yanked an 86-page Epstein memo: “Investigation into Potential Jeffrey Epstein Co-Conspirators.” It lays out interviews with alleged victims, investigative targets, and attorneys. I archived it—full memo here. Fuck you Pambi and pedophile protectors.

People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Why study the humanities? Well, here is an example from the Colbert show, in which Ian McKellen spontaneously delivers an extraordinary speech -- relevant as ever. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

Roger Craig's long wait is over. He's heading to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. No Frank Gore this year, but given that he ranks thir in all-time rushing yards, it shouldn't be long before he gets in.

In 1775 a lot of people were unhappy with the King but they weren’t necessarily ready to commit treason. That changed when the King’s troops started shooting their neighbors, stealing food, and raping women.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The mom who we all saw turning the wheel and trying to drive away was actually a domestic terrorist trying to run over a poor ICE agent, and now the nurse who we all saw coming to the aid of another ICE victim was actually a deranged shooter who had to be taken down.
