Cities are amazing accomplishments of humankind.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Watched ep.1 last night. Well-made deep dive, with lots of footage I'd never seen before. One takeaway: all due respect for his talent but man, John Lennon was kind of insufferable. Given the chance I would have much rather hung out with George. #music #documentary
