Some of my greatest ideas were discovered sitting on the toilet. But I did not win the #NobelPrize for #Chemistry for it. Guess they weren’t ready for my work on #emotionallyunstable molecules

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

It's the anniversary of the #GreatChicagoFire. They blamed the Irish immigrants back then. Who are we scapegoating today for Chicago's "rampant" crime and murders?
