Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The major opposing candidates called him a jihadist and Democratic leadership didn't make a peep about it!
Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

if you ever say “vote blue no matter who” to me ever again i will punch you in the fucking eye
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

It's pretty shitty to witness who's desperately engaging in unbridled, unapologetic racism in these final 24 hours before the polls close in NYC, but it's also illuminating. Masks are coming off. Takes notes for posterity. Someday, they'll pretend it was all a misunderstanding.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

i do think Dems should moderate on immigration in the sense that Dems should redesign our immigration policy to work like people think it works: you wait for a while (but not forever) to get into the country and then you wait for a while (but not forever) to become a citizen.

Jfc. Her islamophobia is off the charts. One of her Insta stories is a Londoner talking about Sadiq Khan imposing no-go zones and sharia courts in London.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

If you see a lot of political memes that have an out-of-place sepia filter, it's because the Studio Ghibli filter OpenAI added to ChatGPT was too popular and polluted their database, and will force a "nostalgic Ghibli sepia filter" onto images without asking. The recent White House Halo pic is one.
A Japanese organization representing Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Toei Animation and more has demanded OpenAI to halt unauthorized use of their IP
