The whole thing was a wild ride but this is hilarious. Mamdani is a wizard.
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

They didn't go far enough, clearly.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Interesting article about Musk, D&D, and racism. I do wish it was more about either the racist D&D players and how poisonous they are or more linking far right people like Musk and Thiel and their incredibly wrong understanding of Tolkein. Instead we get a sprinkle of both leaving me wanting more.
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

There are no examples of genocidaires willingly ending a genocide and Israel is no exception. Unless Israel is turned into a pariah state and diplomatic and trade relations severed, the genocide will continue.
