Chris in DC

after driving an EV driving a gas car felt like *riding a horse.* Not just metaphorically - the gear shifts, the braking, it's all so jarring.

"hypermiling" - I had a VERY low range Fiat so I often did it out of necessity...

"Just the News"

?????????????

exactly! It's not *just* Hawaii

to be fair, this was a pretty common trend across the country until the last 10-20 years. LGA looked like something out of the 60s until they rebuilt the entire thing.

this is one of those stories that I think reporters publish when they're hungover / out of ideas. It's a fairly well-known thing that crops up every couple years

PS I know you're not actually a resident of the city (and thus avoiding the *already* imposed socialist income tax) but wanted to make my joke anyway

so you're NOT fleeing the City because it's now a Communist hellscape?

I hate "by borough" breakdowns because SI is physically large and has the population of like Park Slope

truly wild that Trump won Latinos on an economic message and then started pulling every Brown person out of vehicles and houses and expected his margins to hold up

low-key does Alexandria have any good barbecue restaurants and why not

there are zero stories about Sliwa I would not believe. If you told me he was abducted by aliens and the still have monthly check-ins I'd be like "sure he was"

have you seen the photo of him at the Mermaid Parade? Also I bet money he's been to J'Ouvert before

ack sorry, with final results Sherrill was slightly smaller than Spanberger. Still a crushing win relative to what the GOP was thinking before yesterday.

put it this way: Republicans thought this race was in play long after they gave up on Virginia. Sherrill's margin was *bigger* than Spanberger's.

it's all just "remember when?" shit going back 100 years or so. Tammany Hall really did do that on the regular, but to your point, we've made it much much harder. Trump's view of NYC politics is basically just "it's still Tammany Hall." I wish. Those guys were EFFECTIVE.

because....what they said at the debate isn't news and Mamdani taking his position is?

they were both asked repeatedly in the past and answered. Mamdani didn't answer during the debates.

given how bad his opponents were...yeah probably

I like having them in off-years; imagine the turmoil of a new Chief Executive in the largest city followed 19 days later by a new Chief Executive of the entire country. Staggering those transitions is a good thing!

my first thought

if the choice is between higher taxes and saying "I'm from BOCA, bitch" people will just pay the taxes

"My other sticker floated down the G train river"

I lived there for 3 years and it's the only cultural identifier somehow more exhausting than veganism or cross-fit (and I was guilty as hell of it, no judgment)

right which is what makes the threat even sillier.

in the Post*

(a handful of) New York millionaires* They put the million in the wrong place

BOOOO. November is *peak* football, usually most of the rivalry games, the last bit of fall weather before it turns bracingly cold, Thanksgiving is great, and it's the actual start of the Christmas season.

and he was SO CLOSE to that Nobel Peace Prize. Also hilarious that Eric Adams referenced this exact same thing recently. Is he coordinating talking points? IS HE GONNA BE AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA?

*grumble*
