That annual tradition of my in-laws asking if I know who the newly famous performers at the parade are. I don’t know what a mr. fantasy is, I am 37 years old

This is a good ranking by Pritzker. It’s close to totally correct! The correct ranking however is
Empire
Star Wars
Last Jedi
ROTJ
Revenge of the Sith
Force Awakens
Rogue 1
Phantom Menace
Solo
Attack of the Clones
Rise of Skywalker
Empire
Star Wars
Last Jedi
ROTJ
Revenge of the Sith
Force Awakens
Rogue 1
Phantom Menace
Solo
Attack of the Clones
Rise of Skywalker
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”

Imo, another big reason is that democrats broadly, and people on bsky specifically, trust mamdani. We believe that he shares our values. Incumbent democrats burned that trust a lot over the last few years, to such an extent that we demand greater shows of loyalty than we do of Mamdani
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

sorry it just occurred to me that this is functionally equivalent of a car-free city dweller complaining that it takes far too long by bus to get to suburban shopping or cultural destinations, which is a 100% legit complaint that would be laughed out of any op-ed page in the country
One thing that’s so frustrating living in a city center is the pervasive belief among suburbanites that your neighborhood is nothing more than a consumer experience for them and that the city should bend over backwards to ensure they can speed as fast as possible on their way to buy treats in it.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Democrats will be like "You believe in talking about Trump's child sex trafficking? That pales in comparison to my strategy, shutting down the government for ACA subsidies" and then not shut down the government for ACA subsidies
“Your think calling attention to problematic behaviors will help? That pales in comparison to my strategy of shutting down the government until the GOP agrees to bundle ACA subsidies with the CR” - Chuck Schumer
