came across this abomination in jersey city today

it’s 86 degrees at midnight & the vibes in NYC are impeccable tonight

sure, you’d be endorsing the guy whose victory over zohran would suppress midterm turnout, but at least you’d get a chance to scold the millennials, and boy, haven’t you missed that?

Title card for Koyaanisqatsi, with the name of the movie superimposed on a long exposure of a complex highway intersection at night, except it's Zohraanisqatsi.

Someone on Twitter posted that they had run into Philip Glass at their lower Manhattan polling place, saying nice things about Mamdani.

The campaign put this up as a quote-tweet within the hour.
