Mamdani: "Andrew Cuomo is gonna say a lot of things tomorrow night on the debate stage. And frankly, I wish it was more like Nascar so New Yorkers could see the billionaires that were sponsoring him right on his suit jacket. He watches Fox News as well. So I'll just speak to him directly ... "

here's the whole show--half an hour. it's how to play any kind of bass in any kind of band that isn't doctrinaire or super stripped down by design and wants to be good. only problem being no one else can really do all of it. requiescat

Pentangle was one of the coolest bands, zero pop/style, all roots, flagrantly inventive esp given their general terrain. Danny was one of the greatest on bass, cross all genres. You can really see him do his thing here--so much going on much of the time, reduced to a thud whenever it is called for

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

105/N. Feds rammed a car that crashed into another, then a foot chase. Neighbors protested. Gas deployed by feds earlier today. Here's what they left behind. A thread of photos. #chicago

all nonsense of course but also kind of incredible that the big boy thinks he can use reverse psychology on his beloved (?) Old Testament God to gain passage into The Kingdom. da OTG was already hip to this line of jive back in Deuteronomy times. it's a ticket to Double Purgatory at min

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I'm so looking forward to this album. Everything by Mint Mile is fantastic. It was tough to read how this was one of the final things Steve Albini worked on.

ICE makes the CPD look like a bunch of nuns. I hope the Garland/Biden/Obama go-along-to-get-along crowd is happy with the result of their slowrolling and magnanimity. Preserve ICE and DHS, backburner any reasonable consequences for fomenting an actual insurrection. Wouldn't want to rock the boat

lumberjack wharfie @lumberjackwharfie.bsky.social · 8d

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.
