Hard to beat this!
NY Post front page with the headline "On your marx, get set, Zo! SocialistMamdani wins race for mayor. THE RED APPLE." And it's got Mamdani holding a hammer and sickle. Genuinely hilarious.

White American Jews are about to find out just how conditional their whiteness always was.
Tweet from John Podhoretz reading: "My mother was a Heritage board member for 40 years. You have befouled her, you rancid wretch of an amoeba." quoting Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, tweeting: "There has been speculation that @Heritage is distancing itself from @TuckerCarlson over the past 24 hours. I want to put that to rest right now—here are my thoughts:"

A college film class I took voted to choose two movies to watch/analyze, and me and a buddy basically conned the class into selecting "Do the Right Thing" and "THE STING." Anyway, I haven't seen too many people mention it, and it's SO GOOD.

Lol, jeeeeeeeeez
In 2017, when interviewed by biographer David Yaffe, Mitchell again defended her use of blackface and also that of Al Jolson, calling him "a Jew in blackface (who's) always getting the better end of the deal... I got away with it … I got the greatest reviews for that record in black magazines. They saw the brother, they reviewed it, and they got it." Yaffe added that it was unclear which "black magazines" Mitchell was referring to.

"I dressed up as a black man so I know what it's like to be black."
In 2015, she told The Cut that she tended to "nod like a brother" when she saw black men in the street, adding "I really feel an affinity because I have experienced being a black guy on several occasions."

She gets catcalled and thinks "I'm basically a black guy now!"
I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard, in search of a costume for a Halloween party when I saw this black guy with a beautiful spirit walking with a bop... As he went by me he turned around and said, "Ummmm, mmm... looking good sister, lookin' good!" Well I just felt so good after he said that. It was as if this spirit went into me. So I started walking like him. I bought a black wig, I bought sideburns, a moustache. I bought some pancake makeup. It was like 'I'm goin' as him!'

Joking about calling Muhammed Ali a n***** and quoting a potentially fictional racist dentist to justify her own racism...
When asked to introduce Muhammad Ali at Madison Square Garden by Joan Baez, Mitchell jokingly suggested referring to both Ali and Carter as "jive-ass n*****s" and considered going out in blackface. Later, her dentist told her she had "teeth like a Negro male."[
