Let's Check In With People Who Threatened To Leave Zohran Mamdani's NYC | Defector When Zohran Mamdani upset Andrew Cuomo to win the New York City Democratic mayoral primary in June, it led to a lot of histrionics. The usual fear tactics against a young Muslim democratic socialist…

Let’s check in with people who threatened to leave Zohran Mamdani’s NYC: defector.com/lets-check-i...

…Like, I mourn the old, exclusive, unprofitable, enigmatic Internet, sure. But it’s worth remembering that a lot of that good stuff is STILL HERE, even as the corporate parasites that tried to replace it rot away before our eyes.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.

on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

you can watch Dracula’s Ex-Girlfriend and The Prince AND the next two episodes of Philosophy Tube for free this weekend if you want

"This year, as every year, Epilepsy Compassion Day occurs on Cheap Strobe Lights On Sale Day"

Cool how "let's pay tribute to combat veterans" day is so close to "every silly sod with a fiver and a lighter can cause random explosions" day.

Bones are a body fluid, if you accidentally come into contact with hydrofluoric acid.

Then explain this, smart guy.

When Cuomo finally learned consent

Mamdani already moving the needle on sex offenders, you love to see it

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

In Chicago, total strangers were pulling off the road to jump out of their cars and hug other total strangers.

Me, I was in Arizona to speak at a college.

So, yeah. Wasn't here.

😭

The discord is 95% body fluid-based channels.

Bill de Blasio today, at long last:

Elon Endorses Cuomo, with pictures of Adnrew Cuomo and Elon Musk

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

I finally watched the James Gunn Superman and if anything, I think people undersold how hard it goes on Israel. Watching the Justice Gang/League beat the shit out of the not-IDF and dropping not-Netanyahu to his doom was magnificent. Also Lex Luthor just being Elon Musk is inspired.

This is actually deeply validating. I have had so many early-project conversations where the core of a game or story or @friends-table.bsky.social season idea is something emotive and affective instead of a simple narrative logline or mechanical pitch.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

[remembering the hillary '08 campaign spreading photos to imply obama was a muslim, as an attack on him] mmmmm.

I maintain that every one of these people should be forced to live on SNAP for a month.

I'm very cautious about ever calling a film I like a "perfect" film, but damn if Fury Road isn't a perfect film.

The expression on Chewbacca(?)'s face looks like he's been sentenced to death by snu-snu.

New Batman comic featuring him breaking the arm of a white supremacist

That's my Batman

Let's keep showing them how profoundly irritating we can be, because they have an easy out. It's right there!
