Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

It drives me nuts when a terrible person dies, and we are all supposed to pretend they were great, like telling the truth is somehow uncouth.
Brigette Bardot was a truly despicable racist, homophobe, bigot, and lifelong supporter of fascists. Acknowledge her work, I guess, but don't celebrate her.

Somewhere between late-night folklore reading and too much coffee, I stumbled across the legend of the Icelandic Yule Cat — a giant, shadowy creature that prowls the winter nights looking for anyone who didn’t get new clothes for Christmas

When you don't really fight an openly fascist regime, when you constantly cave to the GOP demands, and you no longer campaign on anything positive outside of "we're not Republicans"...which then you seem confused because you turn around and run to try and prove you are the better Republican option.
