Lot of centrist dweebs fawning over Mamdani like they wouldn't have leaned massively into antisemitism accusations had he been a UK politician. And like they in some way have anything in common with him. Reminder: your guy lost. #mamdani #dweebs #taketheL

I wasn't aware of these. But given I've been a couple of times and have no need to go back, I'll swerve in future.

Eldritch house with green moss
Sound of ordinary on the waves
Tiles drip from its roof
Home secretary has a weird look

I watched from about halfway through the Australian innings and thought it was all over at the halfway stage despite India having pegged them back a bit towards the end. That batting performance was sensational, though.
