it’s between this and Dog of the South imo

every now and then I’ll be at a friend’s house and be like wow… it’s three perfect books

also the Bills… possible that I am just depressed

I think I have become genuinely depressed about Liverpool

the worst Liverpool move of the summer was one they had no control (Trent leaving) but it increasingly seems like choosing build the team of the future while also retaining Salah was a huge mistake

does anyone know how to fix Liverpool

can't believe this shit

it’s better than anything either of them have ever written

no I report on the administration and talk to people

this is one of the most Islamophobia administrations in American history, you are an idiot

you’re just making things up brother, take care

what the fuck are you talking about man

perfect ending for a perfect show

I am currently in the muck of the Bates incarceration on my rewatch but yes are still correct

movies are all perfect

He’s becoming Zohran’s own Club Chalamet

they should keep making Downton Abbey movies until 70 year old Mary and Edith Crawley are forced to listen to The Beatles. The show should just end there (their children were all killed in the war)

You can really understand MAGA based on three reactions to Mamdani
Trump: recognizes that he’s charming and telegenic and makes great TV
Bannon: sees him as both a formidable foe and a anti-establishment fellow traveler
Miller: unspeakably racist whining

Trump wandering around in here looking for lost portraits of past presidents

I don't think anyone thinks this dynamic is going to hold

Remember: the only way to save New York City from Donald Trump’s wrath is electing Andrew Cuomo.

he was right! I think he is generally a much shrewder politician than most people on here give him credit for but he is generational when it comes to "great tv"

he does need a way to focus on affordability after spending the last 10 months totally ignoring (and actively making worse) the one issue that really got him elected but I didn't think "team up with the socialist mayor of New York City" was on the table!

there are about a million different incentives for Zohran to play this the way he did, it's very funny that there's basically no reason for Trump to behave this way except that 1. he loves celebrities 2. is obsessed with being liked in New York City and 3. was clearly charmed... and that worked

Zohran was nice to Trump so he wouldn't take away the World Cup final... this is why I voted for a soccer fan for mayor, even if he likes Arsenal

it's so funny to watch the far right White House press pool try to bait Trump to say something nasty about Mamdani and every time he's just like "nah this guy rocks"

it might be working *too* well though lol

Trump loves him because he's a celebrity of course, but also because Mamdani emphasized their similarities and the fact that a lot of people voted for both of them for similar reasons. There will be a crack-up at some point but this is just insanely smart politics right now

Mamdani really got the memo about how to work with Trump
