This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

Dendrites, acrylic on canvas

I wanted to imagine all the tiny dendrites trying to reach each other and finding light when they do. But the negative space is really making me think about follicles and a little ovum nestled in there... maybe I'll work on a follow-up piece?

If we are cool with Zohran, the Republicans will smear us as socialists! Unlike what they're doing now: smearing us as socialists.

Good gracious Third Way

www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/m...

Screenshot of article that reads: “A Mamdani victory is a serious political problem for those in the party who believe, as we do, that our primary focus must be on flipping red and purple seats blue, expanding the map for Democrats, and creating a path back to Congress and the White House,” Matt Bennett, executive vice president of center-left think tank Third Way, told MSNBC. “The [Democratic Socialists of America] platform — which Mamdani has not repudiated — hands a potent set of weapons to Republican ad makers eager to tie Mamdani-style politics to Democrats running in much tougher places than deep blue New York.”

A couple thousand years? Its been at least 150,000 years. Homo sapiens have been leveraging our collective strengths to lead to better outcomes for everyone for the entire existence of our species. Its literally what we evolved to do.

This is a way more interesting story than the time an anatomy student of mine found a baubellum in a mink, & the only study I could find that suggested that some % of minks MAY have a baubellum was the appendix of an unpublished Master's thesis. The baculum was required curriculum, of course
