Picked this up for next to nothing at a thrift store in Canada (hence the French subtitle). Have had it for a couple years. Never seen it before. But today I thought “hey, it’s Valentine’s Day, why not?”

This video is a nice encapsulation of the success of Mamdani’s overall comms strategy - a slightly stunt-y, surprise-and-delight way to celebrate New Yorkers and government in service of New Yorkers
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both. n.pr/46QDn9p

So here’s the thing—I don’t really give a damn that they don’t “get the book right”; it’s an adaptation, fine, go nuts. But after a very entertaining first half, this thing just goes flat & becomes improbably conventional & frankly boring. At one point I was like “it’s giving THE NOTEBOOK” ☹️

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

Dems please run on “we will bring back scientific and medical leadership again.” It’ll work! Also, it’s an emergency!
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis

It’s a thing to have a government that just openly lies. Lies, gets caught, keeps telling the same lie without flinching. We’re joining some very special historical company.
