I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters β the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. β are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Democrats have been asked to disavow Zohran more than Republicans have been asked to disavow the guy who murdered two Democrats.
Says a lot about how profoundly fucked up our political and media situation is right now.

sorry i donβt think Zohranβs win indicates how state or national races will go. Zohran campaigned against unaffordable basic needs and an old pervert. problems that are unique to new york city and no where else in the country

At no point in this study did I use AI. This includes the literature review, logical organization, writing, analysis, and proofreading. I do not cite any studies that use AI, to the extent that it is possible to know.
Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language.

Why Wonβt Zohran Mamdani Denounce a Dangerous Slogan?
The New York mayoral candidateβs defense of βGlobalize the intifadaβ is very telling.
By Jonathan Chait
This entire attack line is so bizarre. It's not a phrase Mamdani uses, it's just something random people chanted at a protest.
All evidence indicates that the pro-Palestinian movement is not substantially motivated by antisemitism, it is motivated by moral revulsion at mass killing.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. Itβs just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.
