I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Useful for Cuomo to say that this was an election about the future identity of the Democratic Party in his concession speech. You know. Because he lost.

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social I'm really happy for you. I hope you do great work and don't have to deal with obstructionist pieces of shit. But also even if they block you at every turn, you turned the entire internet into a Making Fun of Cuomo block party and no one can take that from us ever. 🙏🏽

Jeff Gerstmann is still a threat
As someone who does not live in New York, my desire is simple and, perhaps, a little self-serving: I would like to never see Cuomo's stupid fuckin' face or hear his stupid fuckin' voice ever again. It'd be great if that creep just lost this election and went away forever.

It turns out that when you don’t speak to voters under 40 with absolute contempt AND run on policies that would actually improve their lives instead of weasel words that were focus-tested more than a car commercial,
They’ll actually come out and vote! Who would’ve thought!

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.
