She’s undeniably better than Newsome

I can’t help it, I like this guy

Posting into the void about the latest discourse: 1. No one should be having any conversation about the general election before we know who the candidates in the primaries are 2. Consistent non-voters are never seen as a reliable bloc as mythical swing voters

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

It is astounding how bad health insurance company apps/portals are

There is one question: do we have enough resources to meet the basic needs of every person on the planet? If so, any system of government and economics that doesn’t orient itself towards achieving that purpose is inadequate

Feeling the generation gap because my students think 67 is a funnier number than 69

Adam with an emotional, hard-hitting interview, Stavvy teased in a fun Hollywood trailer…Nick cited in a Luigi-inspired manifesto?

Infectious joy, unapologetically ID’ing as a socialist, highlighting a policy that will concretely help constituents…this is the way

The question to ask here is: What would a Democratic Miller even want? Stephen Miller has a crystal clear picture of the America he believes should exist in his head. It motivates him. It determines the policies he prioritizes and the strategies he chooses. What would be the Democratic equivalent?

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate. I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵

Dr. Seuss lends a whimsical notion to language

every day now i wake up and think “zohran mamdani.”

The whole interview is so good, I got lots of good brain chemicals from watching it youtu.be/hecdpm35K4Q?...

It feels trite to sum up the implications of Zohran’s primary win as “a democratic socialist is the presumptive mayor in the global heart of capitalism,” but I think it’s a useful framing for the optimism and potential his victory has created

Reverse jinx worked 😅 I’m still in shock at last night’s results, but top line is it’s just the beginning of the next phase of work, and that’s exciting

Amazing what happens when a candidate embraces their base instead of taking it for granted

I think people are misinterpreting TAH’s point here, especially if you are reposting today as a gotcha about the new war…I doubt TAH ever would have said that Harris was more likely to get us into a war than Trump, and his whole point was likely the opposite

Just some perspective regardless on who wins the mayor’s race: Zohran entered with minimal name recognition and no one thinking he had a legitimate chance to win, while Cuomo was the favorite before he even announced he was running

Thinking about parallels with the Luca trade and Connolly getting the committee chair AOC wanted. It was a bad process and decision that wasn’t guaranteed to end terribly, but always had a worst case scenario that would make it look immediately insane in hindsight

Anecdotally, I have literally had a student stumble through the word oligarchy as they tried to describe the issues with our current society, but I think that points to a triumph of the term, not a reason to abandon it…it’s breaking through

In the middle of Middlemarch in the middle(ish) of March

Episode 3 of @yoyopodcast.bsky.social has the show settling into its groove, an instant classic Andy deep dive and top notch production (chilling silence to end the ep) m.soundcloud.com/youre-on-you...

Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Fc...

Virgil Texas may be gone, but Lev Parnas is still a presence on MSNBC

I guess Eric Andre plays the embodiment of gambling addiction in the new fan duel commercials?

Are you physically able to change the channel during the Sportscenter Top 10 or are you normal?

Canada’s men’s basketball team got screwed in the elimination bracket…they went 3-0 against the toughest group in the group stage, and their reward was a 2-1 team in the first round when there were three 1-2 teams

This probably hit different when it was published in 1981
