How many New York Times editors does it take to change a light bulb?

The failure of the light bulb has led to greater scrutiny of the Mamdani campaign.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

A consistent thing about Trumpists in power is how they want everyone else to believe that people only do things for money

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

They believe that fervently, it's as much a core principle as white supremacy.

First day teaching since Diane Keaton died - I am dressed in black and white in tribute, and got a "la di da" from the barista.

Class may well get derailed by a celebration of her line readings.

They also spelled his name wrong in their headline.

Wait, didn’t they all move to Canada when Obama was elected and quit when De Blasio was elected?

Excited for them to quit and move again

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Maybe he knows. Maybe he’s deluded himself into believing this, or is so enfeebled that he can’t make distinctions.

He is fundamentally not a pathological liar but a bullshitter. He doesn’t give a shit about the truth. He’ll say anything that he thinks will be useful to him in the next ten seconds.

Adam Klasfeld @klasfeldreports.com · 2d

Trump knows he was president on Jan. 6. He’s simply lying to rewrite the history of his attempted coup.

Just like Trump knew he lost the 2020 election and lied to fraudulently subvert the results.

“It was lovely to meet you.” What a story for the grandchildren.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."
