I'll give it this, "bronzed face all chiseled angles" is some champion-level "technically correct" work

kind of a different calculus when no one is threatening to withhold federal funding from a city with an economy 1/4th the size of ours
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said she has no intention to cozy up with President Trump to secure more favorable treatment for the city, after learning of a friendly White House meeting between Trump and New York City’s new socialist mayor. www.bostonherald.com/2025/11/24/b...

really funny to come across this because it's:

2) for a completely different reason than the three listed

Seeing a spate of Star Wars mentions on the feed and I can’t tell if that’s because of Star Wars news, a shared meme riff, or the ceaseless drone of Star Wars chatter we will all be plagued with until death mercifully rescues us.

I didn’t genuinely didn’t mean to but I realized after the fact that “JB Pritzker’s Star Wars ranking” is like the platonic post for this site — couldn’t have farmed more engagement if I tried

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

one of the things I appreciate about Eggers is that he uses the alienating quality of strict period accuracy to his advantage — you don’t feel at home with these characters and that’s good, it makes it feel like it’s actually happening in a real but foreign time

to be clear, this doesn’t really influence my opinion of the meeting overall, but I’m pretty firmly of the belief that the “it’s okay you can just say yes” answer from Trump is just indicating that he doesn’t care if he’s called a fascist, not necessarily that he’s owning it

truth hydrogen bomb and I can’t readily think of a retort to Whitmer doing the same that doesn’t feel like special pleading
a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

look all you have to do to take on the NYC mayor’s job as a progressive is be generationally charming while also wanting to do the worst job in all of electoral politics, I don’t know what’s so hard about this

the present is violent and shameful, but to add insult to injury, it’s also embarrassingly stupid, like: “our ancient, 50/50-on-what-day-of-the-week-it-is president expressed killing the opposition via an Iron Cross anon account he ReTruthed (a feature from a social media site he owns)”

two criticisms of Zohran in the talksphere right now are 1) appointing a police commissioner who associates with people who call him a terrorist 2) endorsing a Palestinian candidate for NYSA who said 9/11 wasn’t worse than colonialism
