We need a total and complete shutdown on metaphors. Until we can figure out what's going on.

Fandom people want simple pleasures but also for their simple pleasures to function as the axis of Hegelian recognition of their personhood, and we should tell them no

what do you guys think respect is? when somebody is nice to you? thank god for people like this writer, who are willing to actually engage with these books seriously

people calling the Drift romantasy essay misogynist when all it does is describe in everyday language the basic tropes of the genre, which sure do sound pretty misogynist

NEW: Zohran Mamdani built the multi-racial, working and middle-class coalition the left has always wanted. Mamdani resoundingly won young men, Black and Latino voters, renters, and tens of thousands of immigrant Trump voters. How did he do it? https://t.co/yhXjl2g5w1

Dan Cantor walked so Zohran Mamdani could run!!! 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻@DanCantor_ @WorkingFamilies
There's much talk of a center-left Tea Party & the explosive political situation in NY. A decade ago, I did a deep-dive @Politico report on literally this exact topic - it shows the real roots of whats now (belatedly) happening. Dan Cantor walked so @ZohranKMamdani could run.

It’s become conventional wisdom that America’s young men are in crisis. The reality is more complicated than that.

Rhetorically, this was among the less-remarked gifts of the Mamdani campaign: to see and speak to working people in both the bonds of universality and with the dignity of specificity.

I think of the people I met on canvasses. The older Polish woman in Greenpoint who took a thick stack of Zohran flyers to give out to all her friends. The hijabi Indian American mother and daughter...

You can see the Commie Corridor from space
Zohran Mamdani has cemented DSA power in New York City, securing a majority and winning more votes for mayor than anyone since John Lindsay in 1965. Like Lindsay, he faced split opposition in a contest with shifting party bases and interests, perhaps a sign of times to come.

This is open bigotry against New York’s first Muslim mayor, who thousands of Jewish voters support. The ADL has no such initiative regarding the Trump Administration, which employs extremists with ties to antisemitism. It even took down its Glossary of Extremism to appease them.
👀 Inbox: The Anti-Defamation League announces launch of initiative “to track and monitor policies and personnel appointments of the incoming Mamdani Administration and protect Jewish residents across the five boroughs.”

I don't want to distract from Zohran Mamdani's incredible and historic achievement, but Andrew Cuomo is one of the vilest politicians in either party in recent memory. He deserves humiliation. He deserves to live in infamy and shame. He deserves to live in Florida.
