Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

I appreciate this man's two principles:

1) more cats please

2) kick Andrew Cuomo in the dick until it's a fine paste

I’m sorry but these sound like vintage esoteric euphemisms for “homosexual”

This, so much this.

Screenshot: “On the way over, I tell Leif we read Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel Oryx and Crake. What did he think of it?

“Hmm, Oryx and Crake is a wild ride. Atwood’s really good at imagining dark futures, isn’t she?”

This is the first of many times during our week together when I feel as if I’ve become trapped talking to the most boring person at a party.”

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.

Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid

The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to “restore law and order” in New York City.

I loved this piece and also have really, really been wanting one of your mother’s rabbit prints for years. Does she sell them directly?

you get actors like Alec Guinness despising their genre work, or like Jeremy Brett being massively screwed up by it, and then you get Christopher Lee calling his cat Renfield.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

We’re so fucked.

On the left, a headline “Should an AI copy of you help decide if you live or die?” On the right, a headline “Too burned out to travel? This new app takes your summer vacation photos for you”
