saw the new superman movie in theaters and was immediately infected with the woke mind virus. also suspect the popcorn to have been made with seed oils

SCOOP: disingenuous bootlicking hack acts as mouthpiece for eugenicist, gets rightfully ratio’d

While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

From a journalistic ethics standpoint. whoever permitted this should lose their job.

SCOOP: Mamdani did something even we are forced to concede wasn't what it we are also making it sound like, to no tangible gain, for a college he didn't go to, 15 years ago. Our anonymous source is political activist Adolf Hitler

brad lander is both cool as hell and the kind of civil servant who feels almost mythical in this jaded age: one who advocates for the powerless, who doesn’t compromise his principles in the face of enormous pressure, who sacrifices personal glory for the collective good

if anyone else wants to call senator gillibrand’s office:

personally, i urged her to resign if she’s incapable of representing her constituents (including 750,000+ muslim nyc residents!) without prejudice

meme of a man looking out over a lawn in quiet reflection, the text reading: “I bring a sort of ‘listen up, fuckface’ vibe to scripted constituent call that congressional aides don't really like”

my partner wrote a really measured, thoughtful script for me to use to call senator gillibrand’s office to register my disappointment in her recent comments about zohran mamdani. naturally, i instantly went rogue

hey, thank you

gotta say, Brad Lander's really walked the walk in these past weeks and it's not something I'll soon forget

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

i’m so proud to be a new yorker today, and hopeful about the future for the first time in a long while. the working class CAN defeat the ruling class without compromising their beliefs. a better world IS possible!

i am allowing myself to fully inhabit and appreciate this moment of hope and joy. i don’t have to start fretting about what comes next just yet. right now, this is good!

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

"Good fucking riddance," Lander says of Andrew Cuomo, who was trailing behind Zohran Mamdani tonight

the thing making me so simultaneously hopeful and agonizingly anxious is that i truly LOVE this city and my fellow new yorkers. we deserve a mayor who represents OUR interests, not bought-and-paid-for cuomo.

"Mamdani lacks experience in sexually assaulting women," Bill Clinton said, explaining his endorsement of Andrew Cuomo. 1

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

a photo of a black and white print of gustave doré’s engraving “fall of satan,” in which a winged figure falls dramatically downwards from celestial heights in a beam of divine light. the print is held in place by my hand and a small totoro stuffie

unfortunately, since reading paradise lost for the first time in 2023, my special interest has been literally satan. but relatedly, i did get some cool new art today

came home from a walk and took my sweater off, and flower petals fell out of my hair. I LOVE SPRINGTIME!! friendship with seasonal depression ENDED

it was very good/interesting, and will be available at the brooklyn public library as soon as i return my copy!

just an inexplicable, beat for beat perfect recreation of the let it go scene, with goofy, donald duck, and an anime boy watching respectfully

i need to do more weed. i still remember the kingdom hearts lore you taught me in 2019
