Curtis Sliwa goes off on James Dolan for the stunt he pulled yesterday related to the Knicks watch party at MSG:
“Before the Knicks championship run against the San Antonio Spurs, the most hated, loathed person in New York was Jimmy Dolan. People hate him, and now everybody is lifting him up and saying, “This guy, he's a party guy. He wants us to party to the break of dawn and celebrate the Knicks.” And so he threw water on Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
But especially Zoran Mamdani yesterday, when he canceled the viewing party. And he blamed the police commissioner and the mayor, and then said, “Hey, Mr. Mayor, you're not a real Knicks fan. I wanted everyone to party. I wanted everyone to enjoy this. You're the party pooper.” Jimmy Dolan, I'm coming after you now for sure. I'll have the mayor on my side to make you pay your property taxes.
$48 million a year. I think, finally, the mayor may say, “Yeah, let's tax that rich guy who blasphemed me.””
People have kind of forgotten it now but the fear of being "predictable" is the biggest reason why the final season of Game of Thrones was so infamously terrible
Hunter Biden on Graham Platner:
“I have not heard anything in any way that would say to me that he is an abusive, misogynistic, anti-Semitic, or racist person.”
“I have heard this from Graham Platner, though, that he thinks we should all have free health care. I have heard this from Graham Platner also, that he thinks that we have to radically change our politics. I have heard this from Graham Platner, that working people are getting fucking screwed.”

i think i’ve figured out why they all think we’re bragging. American humor is very hyperbolic. we exaggerate and speak dramatically bc that’s funny to us. European humor (especially British) tends to be more dry. they are confusing jokes for ego.
Ahahaha she comes from generational wealth, her family business was found in 1844 with several locations across northern Maine. She is a multimillionaire. They are not working class by any stretch.
The way they found Platner is that he was an organizer in a Maine Environmental Activist group that mobilized to stop a giant salmon farm from going in Frenchman Bay and he was in the video explaining the damage this gigantic salmon farm would do.
Call-out culture ruined a whole generation's minds and made them into self-proclaimed vigilantes who can't have normal relationships with people because everything the other person does will be used against them once they inevitably fall out of friendship
