In other trivial news, I passed my favorite DC gay bar tonight. Is it bad I didn’t go in partially because I don’t like my current show look?

Yet another reminder that DC is better than Donald Trump could ever fathom.

In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Now that the left has had a huge victory in Ireland I guess the centrist parties must promise to listen to the electorate and move to the left. I mean they feel compelled to ape the right whenever those headbangers win a few council seats.

I just had the most perverse thought: would a person willingly vote for a candidate that creates more poverty so that the person could have more opportunities for individual charity and feel better about themself?
