it's odd to see the people who can accurately assess Bari Weiss isn't a good journalist and failed upward into her role as chief brunchlord, but can't take the additional leap to realize this is part of an active plot by extraction class media ownership to actively destroy journalism and consensus

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

I say this because the way user demographics skew on this site, it's more likely that somebody here's going to be closely connected to Rogers Park than to Gage Park or Brighton Park. I want you to know that Sunday's tactics are familiar to southwest siders and other highly targeted communities.

You know how there's a type of guy who's a regular at a local bar and won't ever stop talking to his favorite bartender or pick up on signals that the bartender is annoyed by him?
Hyde Park has a subgenre of those guys who are all professors emeritus rambling at the counters of local coffee shops.

They genuinely cannot understand this win as "folks want a nice quality of life and will vote for people with policies that support a better quality of life"
If Dems want lessons from Mamdani applicable across the country “it’s less about the ideology, and more about the message discipline of focusing on what people care about and the tactical wisdom of getting out there and talking to everybody,” Pete Buttigieg says on NPR.

As big as the Mamdani win is, Landers ascent is in some ways even more significant for the national Democratic Party.
Most Dem electeds know that they don't have what Zohran has. But most can at least imagine themselves as a Lander.

Ive read cozy fantasy exclusive for the last 3 years, and it is one of the best choices I've made.
As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?
