if you're not hiring Brittany to report on pop music, conduct interviews, and write deeply interesting profiles that actually rise above the noise, then you're doing it WRONG.

BRITTANY IS THE BEST.

and i couldn't help but wonder, would italian-american journalists alike recover from this?

yes, also on gun and American flag metaphors
We have to outlaw wildfire and invasive plant metaphors until someone can figure out what the hell is going on

can't tell if the takeaway is that we need less writers dating and blowing up each other's lives or if we need MORE

Mayor Zohran Mamdani: "For as long as we can remember, the working people of NY have been told by the wealthy & the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands.. Tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it. The future is in our hands. My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty."
November 5, 2025 at 4:28 AM
Zohran Mamdani in his victory speech tonight: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on the politics that abandons the many and answers only to the few."
November 5, 2025 at 4:24 AM
Mamdani on Cuomo: "You will hear from Cuomo about his experience as if we don't know about it. The issue is that we have all experienced your experience."
October 23, 2025 at 12:22 AM
lol when asked "what is your favorite live music venue"

Sliwa said "Chainsmokers!!!! EDM!" (notably, not a music venue)

Mamdani said Forest Hills (the best venue)

Cuomo said Under the K Bridge (he alleges he picked up his daughters there once... someone find proof ASAP pls, i refuse to believe)
October 23, 2025 at 12:06 AM
Mamdani coming in hot already, calling out Cuomo in the first 5 minutes:

"He is a desperate man."
October 22, 2025 at 11:07 PM
ready for tonight's debate
October 22, 2025 at 11:00 PM
as an italian-american and a new yorker... Cuomo repeatedly saying "disgrazia"?

no, grazie!!!!!!!!!
October 17, 2025 at 1:01 AM
genuinely unwell at George Pataki and Rudy Giuliani being named as "best political leaders" in this debate
October 17, 2025 at 12:30 AM
Barely into this debate and Mamdani's already had this mic-drop:

"Why would NYers turn back to the governor who sent seniors to their death in nursing homes? What I don't have an experience, I make up for an integrity. And what you don’t have in integrity, you can never make up for in experience.”

Those are emojis the FBI, NYPD, CBP and US Army have said could be signs of affiliation with the Tren de Aragua gang + part of their “code language”, internal records show.

“Just like tattoos, we could see folks rounded up + tortured based solely on their use of certain emojis”
Revealed: US law enforcement claimed emojis could signal Tren de Aragua affiliation
Claims are ‘an unsophisticated, uneducated approach that demonstrates a lack of knowledge’, says one professor
