Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

people are making fun of the Post for an apparent spelling error, but “exododus” is the correct term for an exodus of dodos

There's no question that the @nytimes.com has ACTUALLY openly campaigned against Mamdani. Everyone in the city saw it. Why would they be trusted to report honestly on anything if he wins? The answer is they would not.

"HOW WILL ZOHRAN PAY FOR FREE BUSES" screamed the Staten Islanders who have a free ferry

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran The Senate minority leader says he’s still talking with Zohran Mamdani, despite the election being just days away.

How can this man be a leader of the Democratic Party moving forward?

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

oh you watch video essays? i watch movies in a big theatre with my fellow filmgoers

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

Hell yeah, on both counts

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

Isn't it crazy that the leader of our country is able to get comedians fired for their jokes? Pic unrelated

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Ezra- Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things.  What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populations—trans people, Black women, and more—who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence.  When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.  Marisa

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social but make it Weimar

I was this man’s business staffer. He knows nothing about business and he’s actually rather stupid about the private sector altogether.

All he knows is how to curry favor with private sector leaders to fund his campaigns.

By “pro-corporate” he means pro grift.

been at the eric adams scavenger hunt all day. mostly we were in a crawlspace under a house in howard beach learning “how to out-hustle the rats.” not sure what this does for the campaign

I would like some clarity from the Third Way Republicans about what, exactly, they hate about "LGBTQIA+." Do they also hate "LGBTQ+"? How about "LGBT"? In other words, is this "Don't use language I don't like" or "Stop talking about those people as if they matter?"

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.
