good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

guy said, “Do you like Marx?”

I said, “I haven’t met him.”

Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.”

“Wow, what happened?”

“No, no, he died long ago.”

I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?”

“No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.”

I said, “Sounds amazing.”

I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx.

BS: The FBI.

MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

So, I do think the Democratic party should run on a full-throated defense of immigration as innately American and how trans rights are fundamental human rights, but I also think a third plank should be impeachment, to correct abuses from impoundment and take back Congress' power

As a show of respect, and because it would piss off Trump, Mamdani should adopt a shelter cat to live in Gracie Mansion and name it Curtis

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

it is actually very funny that Cuomo finally got Mamdani to give up his rent stabilized apartment because he's going to move into Gracie Mansion

unless??

skeet by @ositanwanevu.bsky.social from Nov. 21, 2023: Interesting. I think New Yorkers should try having a mayor who is good instead, but I understand that’s not part of their culture.

quoted skeet by @phillewis.bsky.social from 22 hours earlier on the same day: Andrew Cuomo is reportedly indicating to allies he may want to run for NYC mayor if Eric Adams sinks under the weight of a federal investigation

Panel 1: Purple Guy dressed in a black suit giving a eulogy at a funeral. We see the coffin and flowers behind him.

Purple Guy: Sometimes when a person dies, others will say “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”

Panel 2: Purple Guy: But that’s bullshit and this guy was a fucking cunt

Squirrels, along with many other animals that lack full cheeks to create a strong suction seal, rely on physical principles like the meniscus effect (adhesion & cohesion) & inertia to drink water. They don't lap water in the same way as a dog or cat.

Here, we can see the meniscus effect. #mammals
