The columnists are the far smaller part of the problem: it's the fucking editors and publishers of the national dailies that are wallpapering the front pages with Biden's age, and "SCOTUS made a decision: Pg. A18" in the lower right corner

What kills me is that something like this is so eminently DOABLE. Like, just fucking do it! Be dark Brandon/SOTU Biden! The press will acknowledge it! Your base will love it! Most crucially, Undecideds will perk up!

He got universal pre-K done, one of the greatest accomplishments the city has ever seen, an undeniable good for a generation of kids. Current mayor Corrupty McMoron is doing his level best to wreck it.

We loved bringing our compost to the Jackson Heights farmer's market. That he killed such a beneficial program that cost so little is fucking infuriating. Mayor Corrupty McMoron.

I was posting angrily on FB about Hochul's deep sixing congestion pricing, and a very politically savvy friend replied with a Siena poll with just that type of dataset indicating it was unpopular, and her decision wasn't stupid. I was like, gtfoh with that shit.

Honestly, he would most likely have lost anyway. It's really not a good district for him, and he got beaten by like 20pts

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you

Forgive the unsolicited rec, but on the non-Jewish-deli tip, I have it on very good authority that you'll have superb meals at Hyacinth and Juche. The word is to be sure to order apps and desserts.

Did club sound and made it through the post-Poly CMJ festivals when every other fucking band had 28 unnecessary members, 21 of whom playing a floor tom. Absolutely the dumbest musical trend ever.
