Am I going crazy. Has everyone just forgotten about Bill Clinton.

Willem Dafoe has lived in the same SoHo loft since 1983. Despite four decades of stardom, he’s known for walking everywhere, taking the subway, and moving through New York like any other local. 🎬

@ChrisCillizza Pratt is going to underperform *Donald Trump* in a city where the incumbent Democratic administration has been universally panned. There are a lot of datapoints supporting the potency of outsider candidates, but this is not one of them!

This is like if AOC ran for Governor of Alabama and lost and we tried to argue it was fraud.

Hunter Biden on Zohran Mamdani's leadership: "I look at someone like Mayor Mamdani, and I'm absolutely inspired-not only by the way he won, but by the way he's leading now."

yall are racist on LINKEDIN???

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

The LA election discourse is a good reminder that Democrats are overly process focused and build well intentioned systems that move far too slowly, whereas Republicans are really stupid.

[Anjali 👊🔥🇺🇸 @AnjaliVBhatt]

every single part of "my mayor muslim, my bagels jewish, my christian dior, knicks in four" is not applicable to me but that hasn't stopped me from saying it out loud fifteen times today

I don't live in LA, but for those who do, I'd encourage a vote for Nithya Raman. She's far better on housing, which is LA's #1 issue, and more braodly Bass does not deserve to be re-elected.

We should remind politicians even in deeply partisan areas they can be held to account.

First in my bloodline to be 31 with no kids

Oh look at me I’m New York City. I have a cool socialist mayor. My basketball team has perfect vibes and is up 2-0 in the finals. I have the best food and the coolest clubs. I’m the center of the world. Fuck you

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

I have to admit, I thought McMorrow would be a very plausible middle ground between El-Sayed and Stevens that could unite the party in a crucial, extremely narrow swing-state.

But it seems she has not run her campaign all that well.

@michaeloburns I mean, even if he made it to the runoff he’s lose to Beccra in a landslide so theres that

@CogConsonance @NugsLoL @FearedBuck You’re fearful of a made up stereotype. About as bad as being scared of your own shadow. You’re a groveling coward

The Top 1% of U.S. earners now have more wealth than the entire middle class, per WSJ

Zohran please wear a helmet!

No MSG watch party outside the Garden during the biggest game of the year because a selfish weirdo chooses to want to make himself the center of attention during a moment where the vibes have been immaculate . Y’all president is really a weirdo.

Not great that accounts like this have become the primary way many Ds interact with reality

[Rick Paulas @rick_paulas]

Kind of amazed by what sidetalk does with sound in their videos. Editing wise but also just fully peaking out as an aesthetic.
