i'm not ukrainian and i'm so fucking sick of this conversation like how hard is it to understand that in the context of the ONGOING RUSSIAN GENOCIDE OF UKRAINIANS, russian cultural imperialism is a legitimate concern and Ukrainians have the right to call for a cultural boycott.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

That would be Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, in the Oval Office for a meeting btwn the U.S. president and the NATO Secretary-General in the middle of a brutal war in Europe, staring at plans for a ballroom that will replace the now-demolished East Wing of the White House.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

I just spoke with Curtis Sliwa who insists once again that he's staying in the race. He also confirms that he'd bring his six cats to Gracie Mansion: "These are family members." Apollo, Athena, Lo-Key, Tiny, Ajax and Mittens who is

Looking for some grounding after the Charlie Kirk assassination, I picked up DeLillo’s “Underworld,” but didn’t find quite the book I had set out to look for, but something better.

Over the years I've grown increasingly hostile to the constricted perspectives lone gunmen force on our lines of vision.
Not through the necessary reporting of journalistic fact, but the hostage-like role of the media consumer encountering the work product of attention-hijackers across all platforms. Video of a famous person getting shot says — what, exactly?
Have I become wiser by encountering snuff footage and the shooter's shitty little ironic manifestos? When did nihilists start doing so much growth marketing?

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the Jan 6 attack that was designed to overturn an election.
