Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani β€” the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor β€” and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi OssΓ©, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

My dad took me to a benefit concert in 2000 that featured Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley

I kept thinking, "I can't believe the guys who literally invented rock and roll lived long enough to hear Limp Bizkit on the radio"

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

Merriam-Webster
@MerriamWebster
It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with.
The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

I know this. I tell people this all the time.

AND YET... when writing formally I cannot help but re phrasing whole sentences to avoid handing a preposition off the end of a sentence.

Learning rules is hard.

Unlearning is harder.

The Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile title screen

The Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile title screen

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Your health care bill is about to explode.

The notices will start arriving next month.

A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000.

Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up.

We need to fix this. Now.

It's funny cuz there's a world where Disney might've said "eat shit" and stripped affiliate rights from Sinclair and used the power of their More Lawyers Than God to absolutely shove it up the FCC's ass and everyone would've been like "damn okay Mickey" and turned mouse ears into the new pussy hats.

#JimmyKimmel is suing Disney and everyone involved with his suspension, so if #Trump and the FCC influenced it, we'll all find out during discovery...

for anyone who’s not paying super close attention to all this (and good for you, seriously), this is a 12yo post from the mom of charlie kirk’s accused killer. it’s also a warning, albeit an unintentional one.
