becasue of tv and that two years they spent here after college. But, it’s much, more than Manhattan or the 20-something experience from the mid-2000s. Just be mindful of who you’re reading and what you’re reading on this one. 2/2

I encourage everyone reading the Mamdani takes today to be cautious of who is writing them. I’m sorry, but if you don’t live here, didn’t spend time here as a kid - your take is not going to be as in-depth or capture the emotion and history of this moment. NYC is a city everyone thinks they know 1/2

Mamdani just hit ONE MILLION votes in an off-election year.

The People’s Movement is flexing its muscles. Trump, and his billionaire donors (and both party establishments) better watch out.

Jimmy Kimmel just now on Donald Trump: “He tried his best to cancel me. Instead he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

Sadly that might have been the most time a US leader has spent talking about climate change at #unga or any podium in years

Ted Cruz says FCC chair sounded like a mafia boss in threats against ABC over Jimmy Kimmel U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says FCC chairman Brendan Carr sounded more like an organized crime boss than a federal regulator when he threatened to yank ABC’s license...

As chair of the Senate committee that oversees FCC, Ted Cruz could do something more about this than talk about it on his podcast www.dallasnews.com/news/politic...

This is an actual headline from the newspaper we all came up idolizing. In reporting on the sanctification of a 31 yo influencer, the paper of record is sanctifying him too. It's the one place in news that doesn't need to do clickbait and yet here they are pushing white, Christian supremacy too

Trump FCC Chair Who Demanded Jimmy Kimmel Suspension Once Slammed Censoring ‘Late-Night Comedians’ FCC Chairman Brendan Carr also once said Trump bears responsibility for the “political violence” on January 6.

The elder millennial woman's urge to Leslie Knope +Gina Linetti the shit out of your life.

It's been a difficult three months but I'm told by TikTok tarot ladies that things are supposed to be better going forward.

Glad you're taking a break! I took a 6 month break last year when I only worked very part time and kind of hid away at my parents' place + the next 6 months deliberately cutting back on certain types of work. It set me back a little $$$ and professionally but it was ultimately, totally worth it.

I know basically no one votes on foreign policy but it is instructive to me, as a voter or journalist or w/e, that a U.S. government that will support to the hilt things like this is more than capable of doing deeply barbaric things to people at home, & tho things were Not Good under Biden, we are…

The national security and cybersecurity impacts of this Trump-Musk fallout are out of this world. Musk and the DOGE boys have their tentacles all up in just about every system that supports US government function…

Maybe the new Pope will be Mexican or Venezuelan, just to spite Vance

I’m normally not one to indulge in conspiracy theories nor am I Catholic, but Vance getting cussed out by Pope Francis for the VP’s lack of compassion towards ~ millions of immigrants/refugees ~ and then the Pontiff’s death being announced the Mon after Easter is just too coincidental, even for me.
