An army marches on its what now?

Turns out my apartment building's elevators are just about 10'6" at maximum internal length. This was almost my worst "enh, it should fit" assumption to date. But God is good, all the time.

I had forgotten that's who this story was about!

MAGAs are so racist they made up a lie to scare Americans about Obama being a socialist and secret Muslim born in Kenya—and karma responded by electing a Ugandan born Muslim and proud democratic socialist to mayor of New York City.😅

i'll tell you what, i'm enjoying this night of making my haters my waiters at the table of success

GOD TIER

Can't wait to hear Cuomo say he didn't even want it anyway and it doesn't count because he wasn't really trying and also the sun was in his eyes.

I'm really sorry to have subjected all of you to all this NYC posting but it's really been the most breathtakingly ugly race, particularly given that Mamdani has the affect and manner of a Sesame Street character

Remember, gang, if you’re yelling insults at ICE, stick to things that will be deeply humiliating if they’re read aloud in court. Consider “Your parents only love you out of obligation, not because they like you,” “l bet you jerk off to the Teletubbies” and of course, the Yo Mama joke.

What in the masculinity is this trial?

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

Having to use the Wayback Machine on CDC’s vaccine guidance pages burns like fire, and I hate it.

The very few people I encounter who are foaming at the mouth angry about Mamdani pretty clearly don't have much to go on beyond Islamophobia, and it's mostly just really sad to watch.

Hitler has come back to life and, you guessed it, endorsed Andrew Cuomo for mayor.

Chuck Schumer is a sentence.

Nine Ball would eat these people for lunch.

There is very little in this world as lovely as time spent in a small and quiet boat.

No idea why people think the guy with the huge Nazi tattoo might be antisemitic, with supportive posts like these.

This is a work of art. The man should not be mayor. But he may already be NYC's main character.

Did you know you can do invisible ink by painting with baking soda + water and then revealing with tumeric + rubbing alcohol? I did not, but then I designed a scavenger hunt for my kids. Bonus: giving little mini lectures on pH sensitivity!

Decision to spend the last week coming up with clues for a crazy scavenger hunt in the woods for the kids turns out to have been excellent. Pathetic texts asking for hints pouring in.

Herons can achieve Cat levels of unimpressed with your bullshit. Me and my little red canoe absolutely disgusted this denizen of a Hudson-adjacent marsh this afternoon.

My last Halloween as a Controller. Time for a (Nintendo) Switch.

Most of the time, as someone who lived in Chicago when Gov Ryan went to prison and Daley destroyed Meigs Field overnight and the entire Republican party threw itself on a series of grenades during Obama's Senate campaign, I find NY politics disappointing. But this moment is beautiful.

Not to sound like a Republican bitching about public transit, but it is kinda humiliating that the @mta.info added paddles to the turnstiles such that my belly gets smacked every time I enter and exit the system. Some of us are short, okay??

I called my Dem congresswoman and asked her to please bring folding chairs to the Capitol steps and gd hold Congress. This is the Republicans' doing, but I need the Democrats to GET OUT THERE.

The most Republican guy is the guy who owns the used car dealership, a tanning salon, and a boat in a place that has been economically decimated by deindustrialization See, for instance:

The trend is real, but this NYT analysis at the Congressional district level has big ecological bias Poor *areas* vote Republican, but it's often the richer *individuals* within those poorer areas that are most Republican And many poor *individuals* rich blue urban *areas* vote Dem

What does Roberts get for breaking America? Like one zillion dollars? Or just personal satisfaction?

Whenever I talk about putting the bat on the counter the second the nazis walk in, this is the reference.

Sliwa is like the kid who is at the bottom of the class all semester and then something CLICKS and he absolutely should not be mayor but you can't help but feel a little glow of pride, you know?

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

The number of posts in reading that are roughly "Nazi tattoos are ok bc Israel is bad".... I mean you guys. Do you... Do you get why this is not the moment for that one?

the lowest stakes election nugget ever, for your enjoyment: curtis sliwa has six cats, but gave eight different names for them in three different interviews recently a fun kicker in our election newsletter this week, contributed by eagle-eyed @smaldo.bsky.social: www.thecity.nyc/newsletter/o...

Ziti. Wtf. Feels gross in the mouth, shimmies away from a fork, and is allergic to sauce. How did this get past committee?

I've been silly drunk, even sloppy drunk, but somehow never "get a Nazi tattoo and ignore the Nazi part for 18 years" drunk.

Ayre Halloween Fyre Halloween Watir Halloween Earthe Halloween Spirit Halloween

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Anybody have eyes on Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett?

The thing about rolling eyes at the idea of middle-aged women organizing for social change is that... Y'all. That's who DOES this. The Temperance Movement ring a bell at all? Suffrage? How about any health/environmental justice movements?

No Kings NYC

Haven't heard from one of my mom's sisters yet, but the four others all went to their local #nokings events, which allows me to make Auntifa jokes forever. So proud.

You know you have fascismed too close to the sun when the NYPD won't even help.

Civic pride moment: the best chants were the ones kids in the park were starting. Because a lot of our schools overtly teach them how. I'm carrying Mischa, the large stuffy my 11yo wore as a hat. Brooklyn #nokings

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

I am here for the region-specific insults. No Kings Pittsburgh.

Me: [14yo]! Come to the protest! I'm gonna be dressed as a hotdog! 14yo: 14yo: 14yo: That's not... incentivizing. #nokings

Just whipped up this little guy

We have frogs everywhere. #NoKings
