Interviewer: “What do you say to trans kids who are starting their transition?” Zohran Mamdani: "We're gonna make this a city that doesn't just protect trans kids, but also celebrates and cherishes them."

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

“La Movida está denostada. La derecha los tiene como unos drogadictos maricones; la izquierda, como gente que no se politizó lo suficiente” Hablé con Carlota Casado, decoradora en jefe de Almodóvar y guardiana de que la Movida no se fosilice como un cliché elpais.com/eps/2025-11-...

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Emilia Pardo Bazán dedicó especial atención a los asesinatos de mujeres, “mujericidios”: «El récord de la criminalidad lo baten los románticos del honor, los asesinos de mujeres, los suicidas en combinación, que primero despachan a su novia y luego se vuelan la tapa de lo que no tienen» (1902).

“It’s as if the White House is so heedless of public opinion that it doesn’t even feel the need to mount a proper propaganda campaign” Por qué cuesta tanto entender por qué Trump la ha tomado con Venezuela, por @michellegoldberg.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

Últimamente solo pienso en esta imagen demoníaca

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here. People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong. It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

He visto Wicked: For Good en las mejores condiciones posibles (al lado de una pareja de lesbianas adolescentes, una llorando en cada escena y otra mirando el móvil sin soltarle la mano)

we still haven't moved past the double meaning problem here---the people who want Zohran to be "tougher on antisemitism" really mean "silent on Israeli genocide."

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse. In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular. Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

Trump is a creature of media before anything else and I suspect one thing we're seeing in this (wild!) Mamdani meeting is that nothing impresses/intimidates him like someone capable of generating a competing media phenomenon

"The consensus is that *the* factor to blame is the thing in our pockets. For most of us, our phone has become both an external hard drive, storing everything we used to remember, and a portable Las Vegas, ensuring we never have to suffer a boring minute." nymag.com/intelligence...

I've long maintained that the Democratic party tolerates criticism of Israel as long as it doesn't trip into anti-semitism. The Republican party tolerates anti-semitism as long as it doesn't trip into criticism of Israel. And here we are.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"

Recordatorio de que la canción buena, y solo hay una, de la segunda parte de Wicked no es For Good como se ha empeñado el departamento de marketing de la película, sino la estupenda As Long As You’re Mine, y nadie está hablando de ella

Celebrar cincuenta años de democracia condenando a un hombre inocente con el propósito absolutamente obvio de presionar al Gobierno para que convoque elecciones anticipadas es jugar en la liga de los grandes, eh.

Feliz 20N. Mensaje captado.

Comí con dos personas que no se conocían entre sí, que saben mucho de lo mismo, gastronomía, pero no saben lo mismo. Mikel Zeberio es una eminencia con décadas de experiencia, Alberto Ballarín es el cocinero más eurdito de Instagram, y lo que salió de ahí fue esto: elpais.com/eps/2025-11-...

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

Yes there's a lot of denial, but I've seen it: when it snaps, it snaps hard. "Powerful men covered up child sex abuse" isn't outlandish when you've seen that happen in church, boy scouts, school athletics, and every other social pillar of your conservative middle-class life in the past few decades.
