This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

This doesn't fit your focus, but I've just launched @localfiles.club which publishes short-form audio fiction on Bandcamp. Our first release comes out November 14. We'd love to be included, if you'll have us! And if not, hope you enjoy as a listener. 😀

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

Reform UK and the Green Party have a similar amount of public support but you'd never know it by watching the BBC.

The BBC

• Refused to interview Zack Polanski after he was elected leader in September.

• Cancelled a Zack Polanski interview after his Conference Speech.

Every other elected party leader of other parties got both a post election interview and a conference interview.

So this wasn't the most successful outing but I do think the general construction of "THING? No thanks! I'm going to go home and BLANK with my wife" has legs.
