Even Nextdoor is letting me down 😞

Can anyone in NYC tell me why my neighbors have been outside banging pots & pans at 7pm for the last few nights like it's 2020 again? All the Google results are about 5 years ago.

As a child of 80s & 90s suburbia, Hulk Hogan might be the ultimate example of the "die a hero or live long enough to become the vilian" idea.

Frankly, he continues to be, in many ways, a Real American.

Frankenstein’s Baby flyer saying that the show is tonight at 7:30 and features Maggie Crane, Brittany Carney, Kara Klenk, Pat Byrne, and Fumi Abe!

I’m co-hosting a fun Frankenstein’s Baby show tonight at Union Hall if you’re nearby or can get on the road now from far away.

in 2020, these guys who fancied themselves the world's true leaders bore witness to the power of a large-scale social movement so big that it could shift public policy and strip power from them within their own organizations. it undermined their entire sense of themselves and they lost their minds.

I sat in the courtroom for this hearing on Thursday and listened to the federal government bend over backwards to try and justify their roving patrols as not at all racist and unconstitutional

They failed spectacularly. Miller’s rhetoric is predictable &dangerous, but also the gov is full of idiots

It’s just hard to believe Rudy, Bo Dietl, the Gristedes guy and Bill Ackman are somehow going to find the magic button to beat this.

Evergreen post.

Going onto X to talk to my constituents about the danger Mamdani poses with his antisemitism as an AI bot replies as MechaHitler

I love the joy that working people feel about seeing someone who cares about them potentially leading the city.

Popular control of government is a good idea, and it's beautiful to see regular people find such hope in the possibility.

LOL. This is so great and such a perfect response to the absolute trash coming from elsewhere.

holy shit. i couldn't make it this week. i love this for the show / hate this for me.

But congestion pricing polled terribly.

The “popularists” who run Democratic party strategy said we shouldn’t do it. Because the polls were bad.
But public opinion can change, and politicians can and should lead it.
Vote for politicians who will lead public opinion, not follow it.

BILLIONAIRE: Lying Zohran Mamdani says that the rich have too much power. Here is the politician I have personally selected to be mayor instead.

Credit where credit is due, this guy is an empty suit with no soul doing the bare minimum we would all be obligated to do with his unearned power.

primary this loser

Zohran Mamdani received more first-round votes (432,305) than Andrew Cuomo received total votes after ranked choice voting (428,530).

That means more people ranked Zohran first than ranked Cuomo anywhere on their ballot (without ranking Zohran above him).

Bloodbath in the third round. Cuomo nets 52K more votes, Zohran nets nearly 100K more. bsky.app/profile/benj...

This is on @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @ericswalwell.bsky.social and @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co and everyone else who has aligned with the Republicans on their hyper Islamaphobic shit. You guys are the GOP.

There is no greater distance between the facts on the ground and the political discourse than this fucking genocide. Thousands of people are being killed and starved! Children! No one meaningfully disputes this. Yet the only thing the media generates moral outrage about is the civility of protestors

Yes there is a years-long mass murder and starvation campaign taking place but did you know that a political candidate didn't condemn a phrase some random people used at a protest trying to stop it?

panel 1 mattie running away from some tentacles m: WELL, THIS ISN'T GOOD. 2 the important pundit shows up TIP: hey this is just a distraction! stay focused! 3 mattie, getting eaten by something m: a distraction from what? tip: someone i’ve determined to be more important than you is having a problem, over there! 4 mattie, wailing m: oh no! i’m so sorry!

Idk how to keep explaining that most US Senators hate their own constituents

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

Tapper writes this without acknowledging that Milk himself served in the US Navy during the Korean War, or that Milk was assassinated while serving honorably in public office

Positive Reinforcement cover art!!! I’m wearing a cardigan with another cardigan draped over my shoulders. My name and the title are kind of styled like the Big Lebowski opening titles!

My new standup special Positive Reinforcement premieres TONIGHT at 8pm eastern time on Blonde Medicine’s YouTube channel. I’m really proud of this hour and grateful to all the people who helped make the special happen.

Super-quick take while reading the ruling:

This is going to be a much bigger deal for challenges to *other* Trump policies than to birthright citizenship (where it's likely that lower courts will still be able to block the policy on a nationwide basis even after this ruling).

*That's* the import.

NYC Democratic electeds who oppose Mamdani at this point are making a very risky bet. They are just asking to be primaried if he wins, as he is most likely will.

They should go ask the IDC how much Democratic primary voters like Democrats who ally with conservatives to block other Dems.
