Can Zohran Mamdani keep New Yorkers safe from remembering some Arsenal guys?

Zohran Mamdani is weeks away from becoming Mayor of New York City. As someone who does not live in the city but nevertheless has a lot of opinions about what goes on there, I want his administration...

"What if we make new housing illegal in 90% of the city and then build 3 blocks of Dubai" was not good housing policy
There was a very odd era of 2000s nyc urban planning characterized by broad based downzoning and hyperlocalized centrally planned upzoning pockets ala Hudson Yards and Essex Crossing I’m very glad that period is behind us

Wirtz needs to fire his agent or whoever planted this nonsense. You learn to play with the franchise player, not the other way around.
🚨 | @SPORTBILD: Mo Salah is "increasingly becoming a major problem for Liverpool and Florian Wirtz. "It’s noticeable that he’s overlooked Wirtz and hasn’t made any of the other summer signings, who together cost around half a billion euros, shine. Salah has provided three

How are "over the age of 50" and "under the age of 50" both a +2 net effect?
If you could build a perfect Democratic candidate in a lab what would they look like? Well we ran a Mad Libs style conjoint test and…we had fun with this one

Who was the progressive choice for president in 2016 and 2020?
Let's not pretend "progressives" will trust a Jew with the Democratic nomination.

Yes! Pasta brand matters. De Cecco (Imported from Italy) contains 100% semolina flour, is extruded through bronze dies, and is dried at a lower temperature compared to US-made pastas (Ronzoni/Barilla) which use hotter drying, Teflon dies that produce an excessively smooth noodle
@jbarro Wait is that pasta actually better? Am I missing out by using ronzoni?

When the only way to make sure the Jewish studies department isn't doing antisemitism is putting a guy named "Günther" in charge & purging all the Jews

we need to have a conversation about Jewish leaders who have decided that the path to protecting American Jews from very real threats of antisemitism is to whip them into Islamophobic hysteria about shit that simply is not true
I met @ZohranKMamdani after the primaries. The reason he can't explain away his support for slogans like "Globalize the Intifada" is that they represent his core beliefs. He does not hide it; to the contrary, he is proud of it...

This talking point of "some of the country doesn't have apartheid!" remains absolutely wild to me. "We want to take him to visit the 20% Israeli Arab Palestinians that live within Israel proper that have full equal rights.." You don't think this maybe begs a question or two?
Dear Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (@ZohranKMamdani), I’m officially inviting you to Israel, to see what the only thriving democracy in the Middle East actually looks like. WARNING: Exposure to facts may cause your worldview and talking points to dramatically shift. 🇮🇱😉

I think she’s right. We survived the Crusades, we survived the Tsars, we survived Hitler. We *just* might survive the friendly young man who comfortably won the Upper West Side in a campaign endorsed by the city’s top Jewish electeds and masterminded by a guy named Katz.
WE’VE SURVIVED ANTISEMITIC LEADERS BEFORE. WE’LL SURVIVE MAMDANI NOW. AM YISRAEL CHAI
