a call to end the 'allout destruction' phase of the cycle and return to the 'slowly consolidating land' part of the cycle.

Alternatively, "we've blown the entirety of Gaza to rubble anyway, time to stop before we make ourselves look bad"

I don't think enough good things can be said about the people who worked hard to build the political pressure for his and everyone else's release, including senator van hollen. otoh there is no bottom to my contempt for the people who were urging the opposite course of action

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

cc Keir Starmer. I can kind of get giving up your principles in order to achieve power. But still ignoring them when you're in power to appease newspapers that nobody reads is a bit dumb right?

Remember:

100,000+ people marching about war/austerity/gaza/tuition fees/Brexit = elite out of touch with the wider British people

-1000 racist thugs trying to riot at a asylum hostel = Britain a tinderbox, we need to bring Farage in urgently to stop it exploding

Gerrymandering sucks for the obvious reason but a less obvious one is that it makes it impossible for your representative to actually represent you. Imagine your the rep for the 29th district here. Which sliver of land are you actually representing? where's your local office gonna be?

Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvationβ€”the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada' Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and β€œglobalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

I helped these ladies demo some of the tracks for this new album. They are amazing songwriters, every track on this album has a grandiose manic energy and the structures and builds are so wildly idiosyncratic. Can't wait to hear how the rest turned out!

What Makes "Andor" Left-Wing? | Interesting Times with Ross Douthat

Gilroy: screenwriting is about empathising with disparate characters. Andor was all about making these characters true to life then, you know, following where the story takes them

Douthat: so do you agree the Great Awokening began in 2017 with The Shape of Water

Fetterman is a special case but this is true of 99% of the "electoral concerns" discourse. If you *only* had an issue with Mamdani's electability you would be publicly declaring that he's a mainstream Democrat with good policy positions. You would be reducing rather than amplifying the concerns!

even if you were inclined to believe in this AI bullshit, doesn't the fact that musk intentionally made his way more racist to suit his own racism kind of give the lie to the whole fucking thing
