We need to stop treating objectively untrue statements as legitimate opinions.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

A few days ago our waiter referred to nachos as "chos" and I'm still thinking about it

I think the reason so many of us resonate with Mamdani's victory, despite not living anywhere near NYC, is because it's a deafening rebuttal of every centrist political strategist looking down their noses at us for thinking "You Deserve Better" is childish wish fulfillment.

The "-and a pony" crap.

I love how this tree looks like it's dropping tongues of flame to the pavement

Good morning! I hope everyone has a fantastic yuriful Wednesday!

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Ask any software developer. They’ll tell you the same thing. There is no amount of time smaller than 1 millisecond.

the right isn’t really that afraid of zohran mamdani, the thing they’re most afraid of is that his agenda and being unashamed of being an open democratic socialist will work too well

Every Centrist two days ago: *pushes up glasses* Actually the extremely handsome and popular guy cannot possibly defeat the hated sex criminal. It's impossible because in America people do not like it when you help them. If you don't believe this, you're not a serious thinker.

Bahahahahahaha

INTERESTING TIMES WITH ROSS DOUTHAT Mamdani's Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

This is so, so true. There are vanishingly few people making a living off their art full time, and many (maybe the majority) of us who do also have a spouse with their own income. Don't ever think you're somehow less of an artist because you have to do other shit to pay the bills.

AH!

Dishwashers exist primarily to make living with traditional dinner ware easier. It's the anti-single-use-item machine.

The pods are like "but what if we force some single-use items into your routine?"

I think that's why I hate them so much.

The open, outright Nazis dominating the GOP are, eh, all good, right? The Musk Sieg Heils are just a misunderstanding.

But Mamdani is clearly the problem, according to Jonathan Greenblatt.

ADL is declaring itself to be an organization dedicated to bashing Muslims & Palestinians now.

Disgusting.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Opinion | Mamdani’s Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

the thing in medieval confessional manuals about being careful not to accidentally introduce your parishioners to ways of sinning they had never yet considered. like that.
