Tweet by Joyce Carol Oates: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"--that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation. QT of @avidreader1000 Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth.

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates - scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person the world."

Hey, yo. Joyce Carol Oates is dragging tech boys by their hair over on that weirdo app.

Tonight in Brooklyn release party of my brother drummer dilemastronauta. Colombian beats, traditional gaita and flauta de millo complemented with synths by yours truly.

The Creative Essence of Zohran Mamdani's Ascent The sentiments that drove his inspiring campaign should be familiar to any artistic soul.

The promise of change drives creativity everywhere. It’s no surprise that most neighborhoods where artists and the creative community live in New York City voted overwhelmingly for Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ?
yeah, about that

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social.

"Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

THIS

Lots of great things about it, but Mamdani’s victory is also an encouraging win over the evil AI hate slop that Cuomo was tossing at the virtual wall at the end there. Deepfakes are dangerous but they are also a sign of despotic desperation.

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech after being elected NYC mayor Mayor-elect centered affordability and the working people of the city in his speech while emphasizing: ‘Hope is alive’

“I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity.”
"In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light."
"This new age will be defined by a competence and a compassion that have too long been placed at odds with one another. "

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

“May I stress the need for courageous, intelligent, & dedicated leadership…Leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. Leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their…egos to the greatness of the cause.” #MLKJr

I think this is the best part of this win.
It shows no amount of money beats a thoughtful political platform communicated effectively to the people for once.
It shows *people have the power*

TURN THE VOLUME UP

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Exit polls are showing that 75% of young New Yorkers 18-29 voted for Zohran today. SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT.

Our generation is clear: we're done with corrupt politicians who take orders from their billionaire donors. We demand a livable and affordable future.

Mayor Mamdani. A photo of Zohran smiling. Zohran wins

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.

Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.

That is how we win.

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

Mamdani wins New York City mayoral race, in a historic victory for progressives Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

When we launched this campaign, we said we wanted to knock on one million doors across the five boroughs by the June primary.

Some people laughed. You got to work. We hit 1.6 million.

In the general, we said let's do it again. Another million.

We just passed three.

The choice today could not be more clear.

NYC: Get out and vote Zohran for Mayor.

Absolutely agree.
The way these lex-luthors-wannabe have been endorsing Cuomo at the last minute and being total racists with Mamdami expressing themselves like 10 yo is an example of how losers they are

At 91 she voted for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social because she likes his sense of humanity ❤️

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.

I hope you will too.

We are being ruled by absolute losers
