Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

Anytime NYC DOT cancels a bike lane from now, on the 1st question out of reporters should be "How much did you get bribed?"

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

The new pope signed up for Twitter in 2011 with a Hotmail email address that he also used for a lot of other stuff, which is how I know that he's probably the first pope on Zynga and almost certainly the first pope on Tumblr

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

**A report from the front lines of the American male crisis. Costco, Supplements Aisle, Tues, 9:15am.** Dude next to me: "Do you know about this stuff?" Me: "Kinda." I explain what I like and what I look for. Him: "Anything to make the pain go away." Me: "Are we still talking about supplements?"

It's sad ABC killed what was left of FiveThirtyEight (538?). But it's journalistic malpractice to pull down the abcnews.go.com/538 page, too. Bonkers decision.
