Photo of NBCโ€™s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said โ€œwe should abandon the transesโ€ needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wallโ€”your struggle is ours too

I think Dick Cheneyโ€™s death today highlighted this divide.

The Democrats who still say shit like โ€œreach across the aisleโ€ and praise evil people are playing to a political audience that no longer exists.

Mamdani wasnโ€™t cruel to Cuomo in a Trumpism style, but he didnโ€™t concede anything either.

I just rewatched THE RELIC (1997) for the millionth time. This time around I noticed it was catered by Rick Brainin Catering, which is pretty funny when you think about what the monster eats.

If I had a dollar for every time I have said THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL US and been right, my monthly food bank donation would double.

They very literally want "weak" or "lesser" people to die.

Halloween sounds cassette tape featuring Dracula with his hand to his ear. Text and title reads 

PAPERBACK PARADISE PRESENTS

LISTENING TO THE

AND OTHER DREARY DRAINERS

DRACULA IS A FREAK WHO LISTENS TO PISS AND THIS IS HIS PERSONAL LIBRARY OF ALL THE MONSTERS PISSING

Halloween sounds cassette tape featuring Dracula with his hand to his ear. Text and title reads PAPERBACK PARADISE PRESENTS LISTENING TO THE WOLF MAN TAKE A PISS AND OTHER DREARY DRAINERS DRACULA IS A FREAK WHO LISTENS TO PISS AND THIS IS HIS PERSONAL LIBRARY OF ALL THE MONSTERS PISSING

Track listing and copy reads: 

SIDE ONE: Wolfman's howling piss, Mummy's trickle piss, Creature's Piss Lagoon SIDE TWO: Frankenstein (huge piss warning), Invisible Man (ambient piss), skeletons crying cause they can't piss but really want to

This program is honestly a violation of trust. The parties involved did not know they were being recorded but thankfully monsters are not allowed in courtrooms so there will be zero charges pressed and all proceeds will go to Dracula. Maybe if you are rich for long enough you start doing fucked up shit like this. Yes, Dracula is rich.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

Three people familiar with the situation told Semafor that Hurley reached out to an email address the reporter believed belonged to the former mayor of New York. It's unclear where he got the address, or who it actually belongs to.
In a state nent shared with outlets including Semafor, a News UK spokesperson blamed the debacle on whoever that email address belongs to, saying the paper had "apologised to Bill de Biasio and removed the article immediately after discovering that our reporter had been misled by an individual falsely claiming to be the former New York mayor."

Part of the push came from the top. As the New York mayor's race approaches, The Times of London has accelerated its push for more, and largely hostile, coverage of Mamdani. That campaign has been driven internally by Margi Conklin, a New York Post veteran who was most recently managing editor at The Free Press, and who assigned the de Blasio piece, per two people with knowledge of the situation.

RFK Jr. admitted today that he has no "sufficient" proof of a link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism, calling his evidence "suggestive."

Can't wait to see the size of Tylenol's lawsuit.

Because I think someone's gonna need a Tylenol.
