sure, maybe Mamdani's victory proves that better things are possible, that you don't have to settle for milquetoast centrists, and that the voice of the people still matters, but, even more importantly, it makes all the people you hate very very mad, and that is beautiful

She’s trying to broaden her appeal for a future presidential run. BUT, to be fair, she’s also insisting on releasing the Epstein files.

Just read Sinclair Lewis’s It Can’t Happen Here and at the beginning of the book the protagonist admires what John Brown was trying to achieve but thinks his methods were extreme. By the end of the story he changes his mind 🙂

I thought A Shot In The Dark was the first Clouseau?

Mamdani last night: "if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves." Be brave!

Apparently the internet has figured out that the new Oval Office signage and gilding is at base a literal meme template

Gore Vidal said “It’s not enough that I succeed, others must fail.” That’s how I feel about the disgraceful gutter-bigot campaign run against Mamdani and the do-you-need-to-borrow-an-Ativan freakout about him. These people spectacularly undignified.

Maybe the biggest problem with US health care is private insurance. It’s more of a cabal than a competitive field and billions get wasted on duplicate bureaucracy, marketing, and lobbying

Yeah absolutely zero faith in CCS.

Add to this the fact that petroleum fuels are in significant decline as well with the advent of electric vehicles and it’s possible we have seen China’s carbon emissions pass their peak

That’s a poor reflection on Israel, not her
