I actually don't think she should be able to have a moments rest until she explains why Andrew Cuomo is fine but Al Franken is not. Like someone should follow her around with a bullhorn screaming the question at her.

Joe Giganti @joegiganti.bsky.social · Jun 26

Kirsten Gillibrand on WNYC won’t endorse Mamdani. Said she doesn’t endorse NYC mayoral races (she endorsed Adams in 2021), and is waiting to see who runs on what line. What a fucking disgrace.

I appreciate that, unlike the ever-evasive Times, Hell Gate just says the thing. It’s like reading good directing. They see and aren’t afraid to name what’s happening on stage plainly.

The NY Times Isn’t Endorsing Cuomo—They’re Just Telling You to Vote for Him

The paper that doesn’t make local endorsements makes a very weird and tortured non-endorsement.

There must be some middle ground between the Delacorte’s ultra-hardcore rain-won’t-stop-us policy and Little Island’s we-sense-a-mist-so-we’re-pausing-the-show-oh-wait-make-that-canceling-it approach. I appreciate the caution, but it’s awfully frustrating.

Andrew Cuomo knows: moving to New York City can be hard. But voting here shouldn’t be.

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for:

"As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

…ornamented by paradox, inexplicable. Rather the opposite, maybe. The less explicable, the more meaning. The less like a mathematics equation (a sum game); the more like music (significant secret).” Gregory Maguire, Out of Oz

“The further on we go, the more meaning there is, but the less articulable. You live your life, and the older you get —the more specificity you harvest— the more precious becomes every ounce and spasm. Your life and times don't drain of meaning because they become more contradictory…🧵
