Is this press conference the equivalent of waiting for Justine to get off that plane?

Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

A series of email subject lines and their corresponding inbox previews. The subject lines are banana pants for a political party supposedly the serious one.

as if I couldn't hate dem fundraising emails enough, the past few weeks of sender/subject lines have been unhinged. please be normal!

My most dad-coded opinion is that there is a gaping hole where Tom Petty was in the musical landscape.

the last sentence in the first paragraph lacks a punctuation mark. there's inappropriate semi-colon use, hyphens instead of em dashes (by the end she got one right) fragmented sentences, sentences starting with conjunctions...

this would be embarrassing work for a 9th grader.

I truly don't understand the evil calculation that you can throw trans people to the fascist mob & somehow prosper. You will never succeed in your cynical, too clever by half aims, you have already surrendered something essential. Imagine if the counteroffer to the Right was: nothing. Not one inch!

This is correct. Any candidate cynically β€œtriangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

A tenant lawyer I went to high school with, who has never lived in NYC, told me that I’m a β€œKapo” and that my Holocaust survivor grandfather was rolling in his grave, after I said more people voted for Mamdani because of affordability concerns than because they want to globalize the intifada.

Mamdani and Lander Will Cross-Endorse Each Other in N.Y.C. Mayor’s Race

BREAKING: Mamdani and Lander will cross-endorse.
The partnership, which is being announced one day before early voting begins, would effectively turn Mamdani and Lander into something of a joint entry. They hope that one of them will eventually accumulate many of the other’s votes as a result.

Speed Governor! Cuomo's Car Driven Recklessly Through School Zones - Streetsblog New York City This gives new meaning to the term "the mayor's race."

The only reason Andrew Cuomo hasn't gotten more speed camera tickets in New York City is because he's only lived in New York City for less than a year. Don't rank Cuomo.
