One underrated aspect of Zohran is that he always wears a suit, always presents himself professionally while still doing fun and approachable retail politics. You don’t have to drape yourself yourself in hypebeast and post thirst traps, you can be fucking grown up respecting the office and be fun

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Andrew Cuomo being driven around at low speeds in a white Bronco seems fitting for this great respecter of women. Where did he even find a white Bronco in NYC?

After a brief speech and some handshakes and selfies, Cuomo ignored my questions and got in the white Ford Bronco to be driven to the next stop in Washington Heights.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)

It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.

The Andrew Cuomo campaign may be the most glaring example of “they think you’re stupid” I’ve ever seen.

Sidenote: if you’re voting for Andrew Cuomo I also think you are very very very stupid.

The public-facing side of American conservative politics more or less amounts to crashing out constantly about a bunch of shit that either you or the weird liars you listen to uncritically have made up. The non-public part, from what we've seen of the chat logs and such, is somehow much worse.

Ben Shapiro was just ratioed by Nick Fuentes on X after Shapiro called out Tucker Carlson and Fuentes for their antisemitism.

The neo nazi right is fully taking over the republican party.

Screenshot of an X post by Nicholas J. Fuentes replying to Ben Shapiro.
Fuentes’s post lists a series of rejections: “No to Ben Shapiro, No to the neocons, No to dual citizens, No to Benjamin Netanyahu, No to cancel culture, No to genocide and ethnic cleansing, No to the Christ-hating Talmud, No to Greater Israel, No to our Jewish oligarchy,” followed by “AMERICA FIRST. AMERICA FOREVER 🇺🇸.”
Below, it shows Ben Shapiro’s earlier post saying, “No to the groypers. No to cowards like Tucker Carlson, who normalize their trash. No to those who champion them. No to demoralization…,” along with an image of Shapiro speaking into a microphone on his show “The Ben Shapiro Show.”

"Breaks silence"? WTF are you talking about? Diane Ladd died THIS MORNING.

RIP to a wonderful actress, and RIP, I hope, to one of the most grotesque and overused phrases in journalism.

Headlines using the stupid and actually kind of offensive construction "Bruce Dern Breaks Silence on Ex-Wife's Death."

My experience voting in NYC:

1. No ID required
2. Zohran on the ballot twice in the top row
3. Eric Adams, who dropped out to avoid splitting the vote, still on the ballot
4. Cuomo in the bottom right corner, 2nd row

@fresco_inferno
in ny state multiple parties can endorse same candidate, which is why a candidate can appear twice. only one registered party that appears

@SethGRosenberg
A logical system would be you vote for a person + party, so all votes for Zohran #2 would go towards the 2nd party

I asked, and of course, if you vote for Zohran #1 or Zohran #2, they're added together for the Democrats

you can convincingly portray this whole financialized AI edifice as a mortgage crisis-style house of cards without even mentioning that the fundamental product is unreliable, based on outright theft, and people don’t like it.
