watching the Mamdani campaign from afar during the primary, so many things were impressive, among them the incredible work his online video team was doing to spread the message in fun, creative, educational, invigorating ways that spoke to people

this is my story about how they did it

Selling Zohran | Defector

I often think about how Cheney wanted revenge for what happened to Nixon, and how we live in the ruins made by that dream.

For 50 years the right has been telling us that the appropriate response to this is to open fire on these goons. They say we need assault weapons as a bulwark against a tyrannical government snatching people off the streets.

The Baileys aren't Chuck Schumer's excuse for inaction

They're psychic entities in the astral plane, thoughtforms of pure malevolence that only Chuck can see. They have haunted him his entire life

When he says "What am I supposed to tell the Baileys?," he is afraid.

Their True Name is unutterable

reading about Young Chuck is fascinating

When a young Chuck Schumer arrived at Harvard in 1967 as a freshman, he joined the great political stirring of those years—who could resist it? But Abbie Hoffman he was not. “I was faced with what Alexander Hamilton called mobocracy,” Schumer recalled in his coauthored 2007 book Positively American. He became a College Democrat, canvassed for Eugene McCarthy, and eschewed the radicals. Campus members of the New Left’s Progressive Labor faction horrified him, and he felt “sickened” seeing protesters scream at cops. “The police weren’t pigs. They were the people I’d grown up with. They were my neighbors. My friends. They were the Baileys [imaginary Irish-American Long Islanders with whom Schumer consults on decisions].” Soon enough, Schumer’s party—the College Dems and, of course, their friends the non-college Dems—would pay the price. “By the late ’70s,” Schumer observed, “the Baileys did not trust the Democrats anymore, and the Democrats weren’t listening to the Baileys.”

I don’t think we should view this outside the context of DOGE, where young men were drafted into being shock troops for incredibly immoral and illegal actions because they lacked the judgement or experience to say “hey we shouldn’t do this, I might go to jail”

I'm not going to amplify the fucking things, but these anti-Mamdani slop ads Cuomo is putting out there use his likeness and put words in his mouth. If it's not actionable, it should be. It's not illegal it seems, but it should be so illegal. It should be *the most* illegal.

When you need something to mindlessly draw, I highly recommend teeth. No straight lines, beautiful organic shapes - just perfect for sketching. Practicing an old engraving style with a Kaweco Sport #fountainpen (1.1 mm nib) with Platinum Carbon Black ink
