Well, congrats to the obviously-intended winner, Didier Drogba

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things.

we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures
The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

Man, if you’re literally on the endline, maybe don’t bother throwing your hand up looking for offside.
In the same vein, learning that Willie Nelson did not, in fact, cover Cake’s “Sad Songs and Waltzes.”
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.
This is better than the Founder/CEO of Mylk Labs inventing oatmeal:
“I hope this frag grenade finds you well.”

This is a good point
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Absolutely perfect.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
Yeah let me go ahead and bring some more kids into this whole situation
“If there's gonna be a terminator, let him be American.” Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice explains why she says the U.S. needs to “run hard and run fast” and win the tech race with China.

this is basically portland's version of a haka
Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.
I admire that sports influencers will do this annually, despite incurring the wrath of insecure fans of other sports.

Especially funny because Field is maybe the only NLL fan I know of
October. The only month we are guaranteed NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL games all taking place. Maybe the best sports month of the year.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
Rec-level soccer games are more fun to watch than pros, but we’re all too insecure to admit it.
Everybody should absolutely view this as an invitation to drop your spiciest soccer takes.
lol I’m gonna need bluesky’s biggest soccer post ever to balance out all the politics engagement im burying myself under.
One of my old bosses in 2012 presented on how he thought phones would be used to send scents to each other, and my first thought definitely wasn’t, “let’s give this guy some spending money.”
What does this even mean

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live.

This ad about how great Google Gemini is ends by telling us how Ted, the protagonist and a big James Blunt fan, “found something he didn’t even know he was looking for” at a James Blunt concert where James Blunt is playing not “High” by James Blunt but “She’s So High” by Tal Bachman.

I don't want to give the lady making fun of Alabama and acting superior about it any more engagement than she deserves. But if you think your state that votes 53% D is full of compassionate brain geniuses and another state that votes 47% D is full of evil morons, you are extremely incorrect.
I love this time of year. Football starts, kids back in school, the annual “worms will save us from plastic waste” article.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
