😍😍😍

RIP indeed 😭. (and yes, I keep accidentally writing novels about inter/transgenerational relationships so like, I definitely think that this whole split is largely artificial and encouraged by articles like that one unfortunately??)

!!!!!!!

You just broke my brain open because I have been trying to articulate this exact dynamic to myself for years and have never figured out how to and that is *exactly* it, it's the customer-service model!!!

But the youths, Lex, the youths are always the problem don't you see

(legit one of the things that drives me insane in general about coverage of things like this is how it drives wedges between generations that are incredibly capable of working together actually)

Me too! (though it is fully a labor of love)

yesssssssssss

I don't disagree!

I think you're right, and at the same time, I think it plays much better for Mamdani and for people's morale that they're seeing it and reading it and publicizing it this way

Which is to say yes I agree with you, I'm just shaking my head at the many posts claiming this as some kind of significant win

Mostly I think it's just incredibly fun for people to see, and at the same time it's just like.... I dunno man Trump is likely only half there at any given moment and I don't think him being charmed by a single mayor is going to fix all his fascism

My toddler is obsessed and honestly, same.

(with trains, not with anti nazi films. Yet.)

Thank you so so so much. This is so lovely to hear ❤️.
