unimpressive! a candidate who was a total unknown a year ago barely got 50% against two men, without the backing of half of his party, and against a man who had liberal & conservative megadonors.

while also getting the most votes a mayoral candidate has gotten since my dad was 9.

unimpressive!

Btw, the press obsessing about Mamdani seems weird. He seriously underperformed the Democratic vote in NYC compared to recent elections, barely scraping 50%. Moderate Democrats in VA and NJ dramatically overperformed. That seems the real story

For a talented drummer, this is not really a difficult part, but it looks like a fucking travesty when written as sheet music😭

Instruments from the game "Link's Awakening" lay on the floor of a northern California forest in autumn, with redwood leaves and tiny white mushrooms strewn across the scene.
