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 don’t think Zohran’s 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 I do not cite any studies that use AI, to the extent that it is possible to know.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.

Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

Why Won’t Zohran Mamdani Denounce a Dangerous Slogan?
The New York mayoral candidate’s defense of β€œGlobalize the intifada” is very telling.

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.

I think we should figure out some form of government where things that the majority of people oppose aren't what happen

I love that a politician can say something like β€œI believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

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. It’s 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.

asking Nick Clegg if he will transfer all his net worth to me instead of doing it without asking would severely disrupt my new industry business model of taking all assets from Nick Clegg

I dunno. Not my party. But you should be mad at them. They lied to you. They lied to you and stole your opportunity to choose a candidate that might've actually stood a chance against Trump. Pretty shitty democracy is you ask me.
