Unfortunately, Glorioso's is closed due to fire - or at least it was last week when I went there. And we ran into a guy who also didn't know they were closed and he was so bummed he couldn't get his lasagna! Hope they open soon!

Zohran Mamdani’s Offline Campaign Podcast Episode · Offline with Jon Favreau · 11/22/2025 · 56m

The exact message and composition of Mamdani’s campaign won’t work everywhere (for starters not all worthy politicians have Olympic-level charisma).

Still, this interview with his campaign leaders is well worth listening to if you are in, or cover, politics: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Taylor's English Breakfast is the strongest I've had. But Bewley's Gold comes close! Last but definitely not least (and @joanwalsh.bsky.social can attest), The Chai Box "All Chai'd Up" is by far the strongest of them all, but it's chai.

Mayor-Elect Mamdani Can Build a Tech Agenda for New York and a Model for the Country | TechPolicy.Press By resisting surveillance, extraction, and exploitation, Mamdani can show how technology truly serves the people, writes Rebecca Williams.

Former FTC chair Lina Khan was just named to NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's transition team—just one sign that his new administration will take tech matters seriously, writes Rebecca Williams. She offers a tech agenda for the new mayor to advance his campaign goals:

America’s teachers are being priced out of their communities − these cities are building subsidized housing to lure them back With teacher shortages mounting and housing costs soaring, school districts from California to Ohio are experimenting with a new solution: building homes for educators on school-owned land.

Cities are exploring ways to attract and retain teachers with affordable housing built specifically for public school teachers and staff.

again, utterly indistinguishable from a foreign attack

Tonight should be a good reminder to Senate Democrats they better not cave.

Amazing!!

The Psychology of Deception What you need to know to defend yourself against deception, disinformation, and manipulation in the digital era.

How do you know when you know you're being manipulated?

"...you have to learn to track your own emotional responses. If something makes you feel a surge of fear, anger, or moral righteousness, pause and ask yourself: Who benefits from me feeling this way?"

This Fucking Guy I lived in New York City for twenty-five years and I don’t live there anymore.

Exceptional piece from @rtraister.bsky.social on Cuomo.

Covers his terrible governance, his selfishness, his lying, his harassment.

There is nothing in this man that anyone should want near power. 1/2
