I might actually watch a Marvel movie if Mira Nair directed it 😂

Has anyone worked up the net worth of Cuomo’s parents vs Mamdani’s? Why does this weird narrative of a professor and a filmmaker as wealthy elites continue? Do they think Mira Nair made Marvel films or something?

Another abominable editorial from the Wash Post

Wash post on Mamdani: The young politician wa born into a life of wealth and privilege, and from tht perch he adopted a worldview centered around destroying the economic system that made his adopted country thrive.

For me the centralizing question of the faith in this moment is ...

"When did we see you?"
hungry (SNAP)
thirsty (our environment is suffering)
a stranger (we have abandoned our neighbors)
naked (we have exploited the resources to the wealthy)
sick (no healthcare)
in prison

AND ... not help you?

I live in Austin and YouTube has been showing me the Spurs pro-stadium ads, like I can do anything about it 😅

only okay with the spurs losing tonight because if they were 6-0 there’s really no way we could beat the measure to publicly finance their new stadium on Tuesday

Slightly distracted throughout HEDDA tonight by a theme in the score sounding very similar to a classical work and not knowing exactly what. I even tried calling my dad and singing the bit I recognized to him, but no dice 😂

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

Another family, the Hares, also moved from Abilene, Texas, to Russia to shield their three sons from what they say are harmful elements of American culture.

“It was the promise of a country that would not promote the LGBT agenda. We liked the fact that LGBT is basically outlawed here in official ways,” Leo Hare, 62, told NBC News via a video call from the family’s new home in Ivanovo, Russia.

Russia has strict laws against the “promotion of nontraditional sexual relationships,” which have in practice banned public displays of LGBTQ identity, including wearing or posting the rainbow flag on social media.

They say their initial plan to rent an apartment in Moscow fell through just as they boarded the plane from Texas, and the family spent a bitterly cold winter caring for chickens, horses and rabbits on a farm 70 miles south of Moscow in exchange for free board. At one point, they even had to bring the goats and their newborns inside their cabin to keep the animals from dying.
Leo Hare thought their troubles were over when their landlord's son offered a generous interest rate for investing their $50,000 nest egg in what he described as a car import business. But they only saw one payment before he stopped sending them money and refused to return their money, Leo Hare said.
The couple went to the police and the local court to file complaints about their lost money and with their concerns that they had been swindled, but say they have received no help from law enforcement officials. NBC News contacted Domodedovo police for comment but did not receive a reply.

And this is why Public Health used to have mandatory quarantine powers, and why they need them. One asshole convinced of their own superiority and righteousness can infect hundreds or thousands.

This person is attempting the willful murder by infection of infants and sick people.

Very glad the first time I ever saw Kpop Demon Hunters was while surrounded by scream-singing children. Sincerely. Genuinely. I think I liked it that much more.
